On Tuesday 06 Mayember 2018 night something in the front suspension dramatically failed whilst I was driving along.

It is a new 2018 - I30 SR Premium with 3000kms on it and
purchased on 02 October 2018.

There was no warning ⚠️. It just went bang!

The vehicle was towed to Hyundai as a result.

I have now been informed that the front passenger suspension has failed. ...Read more

Purchased a new 2018 Hyundai I30, not four months old yet. Washing it the other day I noticed a crack in the plastic surround in the handle of the tailgate. Rang the dealer where I purchased it, Lakes Hyundai, Qld. Was told that I would have to bring it in and have it looked at to see if it was covered by warranty. If it was, I would then have to wait until they got the part, then go back to have it fitted. Trip to Lakes Hyundai from my home one hour. Rang another Hyundai dealer, this one told me that the same plastic surround was cracking on a...Read more

Our 3rd Hyundai in a row, no issues with the previous two over 9 years and not expecting any from this one.

Surprisingly comfortable car, close to our previous i40 in terms of ride comfort, kids have no problem falling asleep in the back and plenty of adjustment in the seats

Economy is good, close to the claimed figures

Smart cruise works well as does everything in the cabin.

Only negatives are
- DCT transmission is a little jerky when trying to travel slowly, (e.g. going slow up our driveway) If not trying to crawl away slowly the transmission is fine and changes smoothly and quickly normally ...Read more

Bought my SR as a demo 12 months ago. Came out of a turbo diesel European car. Am very happy with my hyundai. Has all options I was seeking. Great service and insurance prices compared to what I was paying. Only thing I miss is sometimes lacks power. My cruise control is playing up (turns off) and plug and play over last 12 months has become sluggish but hoping these can be rectified. Overall very happy with car. Stylish and practical. Interior roomy. Visually good and easy to park. Love my sunroof. Would definitely recommend this car. Dealers...Read more

I bought the i30SR after being surprisingly disappointed with the Mazda 3 SP25.

The level of kit in thei30 is pretty much on a par with the SP25 GT. And the i30 made me smile compared to the SP25 lack of raising even a slight grin.

I’ve had the car since Easter ( 2018 build) and whilst overall I’m happy with it, there are a few niggles.

Since picking up the car I’ve done mostly city driving and 1 longer trip to the blue mountains.

The niggles are:

Overall, probably one of the best cars in it's price range, but it's not perfect.
Good design, spacious, great boot space and flexibility (flat seats, boot lip etc).
Seats are comfortable, although the quality of the leather isn't the best, and some of the plastics are a bit cheap.
Feels solid to drive and handling is really good and up there against cars that are priced well above.
Features and inclusions are also well above a car in this price range - you get a lot of bang for your buck IMO.
The engine handles well and has got some ...Read more

Was looking to upgrade, had a good run with Honda's but nothing really inspired there, tried the HRV, good space but a bit dull, civic RS looks a bit...out there fro me, too many angles and fake vents. Really like the golf, but won't buy VW after their dieselgate saga and reliability issues - friend/family experience has put me off totally. Tried the Kia sportage, but diesel is the best motor, and not so good for mostly city driving. Tried the Kona, very nice but some features we wanted were not available. So drove the i30sr, premium, ticked ju...Read more

Was very happy with my 2015 I30 ACTIVE X, so purchased the the latest model i30 active (active x no longer available ) At first was impressed with the new added features, but i neglected to notice that Hyundai has actually sacrificed some of the quality from the older model, maybe to subsidise the new bells and whistles .Probably anyone that hasn't had older model i30 would be completely happy but if you are interested in the new model, if you can compare the older models first .Too many features to list but one glaring downgrade is the rever...Read more

I purchased my i30 mid January, i did look at the i30 a few years ago but they were a bit boring on the inside this has now changed, i purchased the premium in the diesel, having only had the vehicle 6 weeks im very happy with my purchase. The torque of the engine and the smooth gear changes are great, the navigation system is easy to use. The economy so far is around 5.2lts to 100km, last fill i did 1042km with 80km showing to empty this is a combination of both city and highway (motorway) driving. The vehicle is great to drive. The only nega...Read more

Traded in an old (and loved) XR6 as I’m now doing more travel to work (80km per day) - don’t really notice the i30 as being that much smaller inside, it fits two car seats in the back with ease. Side by side with the old XR6, not that huge a difference.

Likes - leather seats with good side bolstering, sat nav and map system are excellent, cruise control easy to use, adaptive cruise excellent, tyre pressure monitor is great, sport mode is great, great speed off the mark, plenty of guts when overtaking, bluetooth very good, phone calls easy an...Read more

After having a really bad experience with another car brand and poor customer service, I decided to try the i30 after sitting in another colleague's car. Turns out it had this really nice European car interior and I was very impressed with with how comfortable it is. The exterior looked simple yet slick at the same time. Probably the best feature is the reverse camera and the 10year free update for the GPS system which apparently has been removed from the new 2018 models. I dont drive much so I can't really comment on how fuel efficient it is ...Read more
