    Huh. Interesting that they changed the center console. No more wide open floor.

      And finally added a rear wiper. Its absence is why I didn’t consider one of these.

        It is a bit of an inconvenience in the rainy months for sure, but I get by with using only the side mirrors. Which isn’t all that different from when I have the back loaded with cargo, or my dog, or my bike rack, or if someone’s sitting in the middle seat… so it’s actually not that big of a problem. My view out the rear window is blocked half the time anyway.

    Hyundai N has added an artificial gearbox and engine sound in a bid to capture the spirit of a traditional petrol hot hatch.

    Two of the reasons I prefer EVs… Someone doesn’t know their target audience

      thankfully they can be turned off

      I think it’s a dumb feature too. I can stimulate loss of power by taking my foot off the pedal.

        I can want the extra power and improved handling without fake engine noises.

          Which is why it can be disabled… but at the same time you can understand there are others that want that sound. The whole point of this car is options. It has a fuck ton of options.

    £65,000 = $85,000 USD

    No thanks. lots more interesting cars for that price. Couldn’t care less about the 0-60 time.

    Happy that they added some extra flair to the front end. That was the most boring part of the car IMO.
