TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Good afternoon. Good evening. Let's go to the AllTalk Car Podcast hosted by Pironis joining me in the driver's seat. Mr.

Hallew and stuff. Good morning. Good evening. We're doing a live drive today.

We're inside. Ah, so we started then they can guess. Yeah, guess. Have a think.

Should we tell them at the end? It's a Tesla Model Y with the sound actually. We finally got our hands on the Hyundai I-20N for Nangyong Nürburgring N as in the HSB. I do and die.

And it's been raining each time we want to get it. And just what did an Aragas start it raining? We said, you know what, fuck it. We've got it.

Let's drive it. So basically it's, I don't think the I-20 comes in any other flavour other than N. Ah, yes. So it's just either the Ballzour package or nothing.

It's basically a six-speed manual. It's got all the bells and whistles. It's got a screen that's pretty big. It's got your in normal mode.

There's modes galore. So there's two end button zones. We're familiar with the Ns. You know, the M1, the M2.

It's a bit different. The left end button goes through the modes. So you start with E-code and then you flick it to drive. Then you flick it to sport.

And then you've got, and the changes, the dash, the colours. It's all a digital dash. And now we're just going to pull out modes. So you hit the right button.

It's like whatever you pre-set of that. And it's basically set. Engine at sport plus. Steering at sport plus.

ESC of Red Matching at sport plus. Exhaust sound at sport plus. But we haven't activated launch control. We can do that.

We're not going to do balls out and launch control. So what you can do is you can go through the magic screen. You can set launch control at a certain RPM. You can also set a shift light.

So your dash goes bright red like a shift light at a certain RPM. And it's also got this weird feature which we're not going to play with today. It's called Enro Sense. So basically what it does is if the car reads you going through some twistings and adjusts it and makes it going to sort of end up off mode.

So I've had a bit of a drive in this morning at the house and it's just done to drive the seat now. What do you think buddy? It's not bad either. Might as well be clear I want 9.7.

But you said that earlier it's clear I had a short gear. It was more a rally car. But the clear one was a little car. It was a naturally aspirated engine.

So it was a 2.0.0. So it was a 140.0 kilowatt. So I want to have a 120 volts about a hundred and ninety-seven. This is a track engine that's going to be different.

It tells me I'm a gush enough of a 1.0. It tells me really. I know from a 1.0. It even, when we got out of it early I didn't even tell me to check the back seats.

That's because you get kids like mine. You just jump out thinking that the car's going to stop for a hot door. I thought we'd be checking to see if the back seats were there. Well that's the tell you.

If you put the key in the car. So in my case if they're about to get out. So just to finish playing with the screen the other thing that it's got which is quite unique. I've seen it in HSB.

You can basically go to the maps, go to Circuit button. And you can pick whatever map you are in Australia, whatever the circuit's on your end. And it maps your lap times. It shows you the actual track itself.

It's not a bad thing. It's a lot. It's not a gimmick. I'm sure we're taking the 20-inch track to 8-pack.

It would be a good track car. The tighter circuits especially like Wakefield Park. Or the half-circuit kind of city- might as well park. But it's built to a price.

We're not driving $100,000 car. But it's got everything that you need. Like I said earlier screens are clean. The reverse camera is very clean.

The only gripe I've got is that it's like a camera where everything's far away. But they're actually pretty close. So it's got that sort of b-shy layer where it looks like it's far away but you are pretty close. Well, I can't see the end of the bonnet.

Oh yeah. It's dropped right away. It's almost like you're sitting over the front wheels. You've got a full view of the front.

But the middle part's been cluttered. You've got the screen that goes up. You've got the mirror, rear view mirror. And above it you've got all the sensors and the front camera.

It's like it's just that little bit's clotted. But you've got a good view. The seats are great. They fit me in there without sort of squeezing in.

It's harsh, right? But it's a suspension ease. What it is, it's designed. I think it's just one over a 50-10-day side.

It's a big shock. Because of the grooves you can tell. I think it was heads. So it's a good little package.

All the steering. I mean, there's buttons. It's really nice. It's really well put together.

If you didn't know it was a home die, you could pass it off to the Audi A-bone. Yeah, it's probably better built than it. There's no rattles in it. I mean, it's about a couple thousand cases.

It's still fairly new. It's fine. I've been smiling since I've been driving it. I think it's a good manual.

The clutch is very light. It's big use. Yeah, about that. You think that's a dual clutch?

You argue with everything's got a dual clutch now. Or it needs straightforward conventional auto, which is what Toyota's doing with the GR. With the sport mode and the paddle shifters. Because they do work a lot better in most instances than the dual clutch.

It doesn't need all drive. I mean, it is where they've been understeering a long time. So I haven't really pushed it. But it sounds great.

It's got that auto red match feature, which I've never driven before. It's a bit weird because you're lifting the clutch, but it's already red matched. It's, if it's actually driving, I mean, it's not going to be a good one. The steering wheel is the right size.

It's well-weighted. The buttons are all good everywhere. It's got a bit of a button that's got a green bright red. Yeah, the pedals are really, yeah, you can see.

I'm on the brake. You can heel turn. That's very easy. Yeah, okay.

It's been really well thought out of design. It's not a Povo pack. I-20 that's got a sports badge on it. This is being designed with...

It's thought about it. And actually everything works. I don't want to sound like a bad spot, but this is the second time I've driven a Korean car. I was thinking, is it the first...

You know what the first time was? Remember my brother's home, you're doing that McDonald's yellow, and she's putting it in yellow in his car? And this was a good 25 years ago, and that was like a... I could have marvels.

I was like, put it in. It was an automatic. He was a courtesy car. He was those bubble-egg cells that have been...

They've all disappeared. I'd see them. I don't know what happened to those. How many of them sold?

They've all gone. They used to be like the Gemini of the 90s. Well, they've never used to hold them up. So this is my second Korean car.

You know what, I'm quite impressed. I'm impressed. This is really well. It's the trim.

The trim's nice. It's got a bit of hard plastic, but it looks nice. It's got a design. The air-con vents are, and all the controls are nice and smooth.

It all blends. Rusty, how? I'm doing it a bit a little while. I'm comparing it to the Yaris G.

I drove about 18 months ago. The Yaris was very high. It had that... You're sitting high in it, but it drove like a GTI.

It was very stable and solid on the ground. It's basically running out of combination of the RAT4, drive line, and so it all will drive. It was a wish master part, but it does seem a bit higher. The all-wheel drive says it's a critical car.

I mean, this, I feel like I'm 20 again. You've got to really think about what you're doing, because you can, especially in the wet. You can understand what you're doing with the Utahan. It was just...

I'm just steering. You've got to be really careful with this car, but it's fun to be had with it. It's fun to be had. It's not scary.

It's not scary. It's a nice car on a nice dry day to go up north on the Opus if you're highway, or head down through the National Park, and just told me that the current front of me has taken off the ground. Just to catch you on your phone, it tells you at the phone level that current front is fucked off. There's weird safety shield on the screen though.

It's... It's information. Program, it's got mileage, 60 refueling, it's got your fuel gauge, your temperature gauge. You know, it's got a G-meter, it's got fucking everything.

I want it to sit before me. I'm sure you can and if you hit the end mode you've got the taco in the middle But now you've got your oil tap your engine tap your turbo So it's um, it's got a car plate. It's got a white screen the car plate takes up the whole white screen like the beam That's not enough, you know where's something works I'm gonna give you like half an ice cream then you can go to the The nav that's the home night out So I mean there's a there's a little one thing should go through on the screen Try to go there So so basically So it sets up the white screen on the map with the Bruce That's a four-door Well It's not a snap-crackly pop as the iphone I've heard a lot of ideas Sounds nice thumbs up thumbs up. I like it comes up.

I'm okay people's in order with you. There's a guy He likes more cars. I like possible cars. They get me from a to be there easy to park right?

You know now that's it trick the round it's a round I just don't just I could say it is you the daily because you drive to the office of cutting cutting carry Just aside right some smart ass wanted to turn the power plug off the Tesla that was chanting in the car park and putting tik tok to the It's got viral second with my front out. It's the place. I basically Turned off the balance of life and your comments have been going up. What was the favorite was some heroes that we Capes you are my hero Should have cut the court as well That's it I enjoyed this I would don't it's making me small It is it's a fun car.

Yeah, it's a fun car. It's a money Very well put together. It's like wood lining You know, it's nice and dark in here. It doesn't have the sugar They like a glass roof and stuff like that doesn't need It's just it's got everything that you need and I read like I said, they're really I mean the seats It's got the old mechanism.

There's no electric seats and stuff, but they all have weight as well So there are some things you can live without but it's got everything you need
