Stephen Dobie: Together, we"re running surely the two most interesting Hyundais ever. The i30N hot hatch and Ioniq plug-in hybrid. They"re both about 28 grand, but what they"ve done with the development budget couldn"t be much different. I thought it"d be fun to try each others cars. Sam Philip: A nice theory, with one tiny downside. Your i30N, though very nice looking and very not-slow by Hyundai standards, isn"t actually an especially interesting proposition, is it? I mean, it"s just a Golf GTI clone with a Hyundai badge, no? Stephen: Blasphemy! It"s so, so much more exciting than the Golf. Yet cheaper. And with a better warranty. And every piece of equipment you"d even need in a car like this. Except perhaps for heated seats, but this heatwave"s gone on so long I can"t remember what having a cold bum"s like.
