The Hyundai i30N is proof that even a compact hatchback can bring pure driving pleasure. Developed with a focus on sporty character and reliability, this model has earned a loyal following among performance enthusiasts — the kind of car that leaves a wide smile on your face after every drive. Under the hood lies a 2.0 T-GDi turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 206 kW (280 hp), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. With its build quality and equipment, the i30N confidently competes with the established players in the hot-hatch category.

Patrik, the owner of this particular unit built in March 2022, has taken exceptional care of his car. The maintenance history speaks for itself — engine oil changed every 5,000 km, brake fluid (Motul RBF660) replaced twice a year, along with regular geometry checks and adjustments. Key components such as the high-pressure fuel pump and timing system were also regularly inspected. At 48,800 km, the car received a new steering system, and at 58,627 km, the gearbox oil was replaced. At 68,000 km, a new water pump was installed, and the most recent major service at 87,370 km included a valve clearance check, resealing of the high-pressure fuel pump, and replacement of the valve cover gaskets. The vehicle’s factory warranty remains valid until March 2027, with no mileage limitation, reflecting its excellent reliability and consistent maintenance.

Although the engine software remains stock, Patrik has introduced several well-considered upgrades focused on handling and braking performance. These include HEL braided stainless-steel brake lines, a Powerflex purple transmission mount, and DBA T3 4000 brake discs with temperature strips on both axles, paired with Pagid Racing RSL2 brake pads. The i30N also benefits from reinforced front lower control arms and a front lower chassis brace by RPM. The exhaust system has been upgraded to a stainless-steel setup with a resonator and larger flex joint. All original parts are included with the car.

On the outside, the car sits on 18-inch Autec Clubracing wheels with tire pressure sensors, wrapped in Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 performance tires. For winter use, a complete set of Nokian WR Snowproof tires is included, mounted on the original factory wheels.Inside, you’ll find Alcantara trim on the steering wheel and a premium center console finish, perfectly matching the car’s sporty spirit. From the optional equipment, this i30N features original N sport bucket seats. The interior has also been protected with film on the gauge cluster, infotainment screen, and climate control display.

Patrik’s Hyundai i30N Performance in Polar White — affectionately nicknamed “the swan” — is far from an ordinary hot hatch. It’s a car that has received meticulous maintenance, smart performance enhancements, and strikes the perfect balance between everyday usability and pure driving excitement.For the next owner, it represents a reliable, top-condition vehicle, ready for many more enjoyable kilometers ahead. The car comes with a complete service book, and Patrik openly mentions two minor insurance incidents: a scratch on the driver’s door caused by a careless cyclist/scooter rider, and a front bumper and headlight mount repair from a parking mishap — both restored to perfect condition.A 10th warranty service is scheduled for the end of July, which will include replacement of all belts and the fuel filter. Up to around 95,000 km, the car served as a daily driver, and since then it’s been used only as a weekend car. The odometer currently shows 97,000 km, and it continues to gain a few more on every sunny weekend drive.The asking price for this exceptional example is €29,000 — a rare opportunity to own a well-documented, enthusiast-maintained hot hatch that will continue to put a smile on your face for years to come.
