You can now register your interest for the facelifted i30 N! More details can be found here: https://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=25892

I know it's just a facelift + with the new 8-speed N DCT but this is my ultimate dream car and it needs a new thread.

Just to relive the pops and bangs of the old i30 N! 😍

Does it come in stick? 

[Watwheels]

It doesnt look appealing. I am sure it drives fast and handles well.

Sometimes I think it is the 0-100km/hr timing that killed the stick shift. The dual clutch gb could shift faster than a human driver.

For MT , there is more to it than timing for 0-100Km/hr. Anyways , to me in local context , be it MT or AT , its  0-60km/hr

For our short traffic stops it doesnt really matter.

Seems like we are only getting the DCT.

Thank you. That's disappointing. A lower powered hot hatch should come in a manual.

Ya. Was shortlisting this awhile ago as I remember there is the MT version. But it was low in the list due to the looks. No offense to fans or owners but the looks kinda put me off. Dunno how to put it. Maybe looks too much like a golf proportion wise.

Wah, keep us updated! Have they contacted you on the sneak preview? Haha.

The pre-facelift was last sold in June 2020 with listed prices going from $137,999 for the base model to $157,999 for the Performance Pack. I reckon it's gonna hover around the 160K to 180K or even the 200K range this time?

Very likely, as COE alone is about 40-50k higher now

No sneak, car ETA only next March. The price remains as $13X k, but this time without COE 🤫

They should bring in the I20 N as well. 😈

[Hamburger]

I can't stand the datsun pick up colour. 

 

Yes, I am too old school.

Lol I'm just waiting for the Avante N at least it has the looks to back the speed compared to i30 N..
