Hyundai i20 N Line N8 DCT: Excellent car that one would be proud to own

Maybe it is the most fun-to-drive car under Rs 15 lakh. Yes, I am including the likes of the VW Virtus and Skoda Slavia when saying that.

BHPian rajushank84 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I drove this car (N8 DCT) for over 150 km today, a few observations:

• Surprisingly good ride. I was expecting a jarringly stiff suspension, it is not that. But still, not rolly-polly, seems "just right" between sporty and friendly.

• Steering feel is exaggerated on YouTube reviews, in my opinion. Sure, it is better than most other cars being made today this side of BMWs and Mercs, but it is not THAT feelsome. Just a tad heavier than a regular i20. Maybe I was expecting too much based on the online reviews I had read/watched. But I don't think it's more feelsome than Polo/Vento/Rapid steering.
• As a car overall it is excellent, especially the interiors and infotainment. Feels "premium".
• Certainly lots of fun to drive on an open highway.
• The audio system quality is much better than even some luxury sedans I have driven! Punches way above its weight class.
• Feature-wise it lacks nearly nothing. From auto headlamps, smart keyless, Bose stereo, 10-inch nav, sunroof, and a whole bunch of other things - it feels like a premium car one would be proud to own.

Overall - one of the most fun to drive cars available on the market today, maybe THE most fun to drive car this side of 15 lakhs. Yes, I am including the likes of Virtus and Slavia when saying that.
