"Cars developed for the N rburgring don"t work on the road." Words probably all too familiar, but they"re nonsense. This month I"ve been driving our Hyundai i30N, whose N stands for N rburgring, back-to-back with the Toyota Yaris GRMN, whose N stands for you get the idea. Getting them together was a stark reminder that these are the two most boisterous and exciting hot hatches currently on sale. And yes, they ride a bit firmly, but they still soak up the worst of our roads more than well enough. Their best facet, though, is that they"re huge fun to drive. While both were honed on the circuit they"re named after, neither was developed to set a lap record there. Thus their limits are genuinely approachable, and they"re able to thrill whether you"re negotiating Mini Karussell or a mini roundabout. Myth well and truly busted.
