    The Hyundai is one of the best hot hatches I have ever driven and it really is a remarkable feat considering its hyundai first stab at a hot hatch. Must admit I have a real soft spot for vrs, as I am a family man with 2 children and have a real passion for cars it's only really the skoda you choose at least from my point of view, I know it's humdrum and its not the fastest car in the world but it has to be considered as a better car than almost any other vehicle made today obviously this is only my opinion but that's what I believe. Thanks again gents another fantastic video and content is fabulous. Hope to see another video soon

    The best car you had on the track today .... hands down the i30N .... forgetting for an instant that this is the very first attempt at a hot hatch ever from the Hyundai stable .... this car brings serious serious game!
    This car is the truly the best mix of Hyundai’s notorious reliability and pure German influence ... you simply cannot do better!
    I say all of the above having been in the motor industry for over 10 years and have driven many cars both fast and slow .... the industry of car sales has destroyed a bit of my love for cars but and a BIG but this car has brought back that passion ..... I truly love what Albert biermann has done with this beautiful car!

      I'm a keen Renault enthusiast but the new RS is a little disappointing. It's lost it's purity like the Meg 2 and 3 have. Hopefully the Trophy (and hopefully an R version) is a better drivers car. The 4 wheel steer weighs the car down and does seem to help in the tight stuff as the Hyundai and pug clean it up. I take my hat off to the I30n and 308... good drivers cars which is what I'm about.

    The biggest advantage the Megane has, and which these tests don't talk about, is the way it handles in the real world on real roads. It's incredibly comfortable and suspension is very, very compliant, but with excellent body control, so it just flows with the bumpy roads perfectly, far better than even most regular hatchbacks, let alone hot hatches, and on top of that it has the best sound proofing and the highest level of refinement, as well as the most comfortable seats and highest quality interior overall. So it's kinda like a refined and comfortable hot hatch for the roads, rather than a hot lap focused track car. It's kinda like the Alpine A110 actually in the way it rides, which is not surprising considering Alpine and RS are cousins. It's also very, very stable on imperfect roads because of the 4 wheel steering, that is especially evident on wet roads where it feels like it's on rails. I'm with Tiff on this one 100%, Megane is overall the best car in this group, and possibly the best hot hatch overall at the moment, if not necessarily the most powerful or fastest on the track, because it simply isn't focused on that. The Trophy version will be here soon and that's gonna do the lap times.

    In the market for a new car. I've had a Skoda non VRS but tuned to VRS speed and very good fun. Though I had the standard suspension so a bit roly poly.
    i30N & Type R are floating my boat along with the MX-5... Not interested in Fords, VWs or Vauxhalls... on to the next videos to see what else I could go for.

    Owning the i30N for just 9 months it's such a fun car and the best thing about it is when you take it on the track you haven't got to worry about anything mechanical ect for the first 5 years you get 5 years track warranty and 5 years normal warranty. You can't complain about that 😁

    I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport, because we don't get the N version in North America. I've had it for a year and I'm quite happy. It does the daily run quite well, and it's a fun car on the back roads. Once it's out of warranty I hope to do some mods to get it closer to the N. I think this is the Hyundai that will capture some more attention from the aftermarket.

    As usual, the 308 GTI kicking the crap out of other cars on track thanks to its lighter weight, phenomenal chassis tuned by Peugeot Sport and mechanical LSD. Such an understimated sports car. It's starting to look quite old anyway, I'm really looking forward to see what Peugeot comes up with for the next generation.

    All these cars have their pro's and con's and it would depend on what your requirements are. The Skoda would be the best family car, room enough for 4/5 adults comfortably, dsg, boot big enough for the shopping and you can have a bit of fun in it.
    The Renault... not sure if this car has improved enough on the previous model to warrant one, looks great but I think Renault have gone a little soft on this version and probably hope to make the hard core buyers go for the Cup version (and maybe an R?).
    I like the Mini but it just does not seem as practical as the rest, for quality you wont beat it in this group though, shame you have to spec everything on it to get the same as the other cars here.
    The Hyundai, probably the most competent all rounder here and a kick in the backside for the other manufacturers, its roomy enough for family duties, boots ok, quality isnt as good as the others as they seem to have spent the money on the mechanicals (not a bad thing), dealerships are a little sparse compared to the rest and its not exactly economical compared to the others.
    Its hard to find fault with it except it rains a lot where I live and I cant live with the axle tramp in those conditions.
    Which leaves the Peugeot.
    The ergonomics are weird but once use to them (looking over the steering wheel for instance) it feels more natural than looking through one. The aircon is the worst thing about the touch screen, Peugeot, give us dials again!
    Practical wise, room enough for a family and a huge boot, super economical and good discounts available on new ones and no axle tramp in the wet!
