Driven: Hyundai i30 N has the heart of M, spirit of Seoul | IOL Motoring

It’s challenging, however, to avoid noticing the BMW elements in the i30 N hatchback that was launched in South Africa last week. No, it’s not. There’s been a lot written about the i30 N, as it’s been on sale for at least three years in other parts of the world.
