Perfect car for male and female

published

One of the most cost savings car in this category. Equip with navigation, LED DRL, reverse sensors, sleek interior. Cool exterior, my boyfriend and I loved it. It also has sports mode, giving it a quick boost. No issues with it so far loving all the functions this car has to offer.

Features packed into an affordable hatch

published

For the price you pay, cannot ask for more. Updated interior with plenty of tech, affordable servicing and generous warranty, and great car for getting A to B and possibly more. Interior is spacious and can easily fit 2 car seats and the stroller in the boot. Drives more premium compared to its competitors.

Love this car!

published

The performance of this car is fantastic, it is powerful & is priced at a very good price point. For the price you get, the features are great, it includes reverse camera, apple car play, auto lock. The running costs are low and it is very reliable as an everyday car.

So sporty!

published

Performance of the i30n is amazing. So powerfully driven by the 1.6L turbo engine. The finishes inside the car are beautiful with the black and red leather seats and finishes on the dash. I bought the car for my wife but i think i drive it more than her due to how much fun it is to drive.

So so good

published

Bought the SR premium.
What I love: the sunroof (panoramic and extends to the back seat!), economic fuel efficiency (8L/km in central city driving), seat coolers (noticeable in the hot weather)
What annoys me: a bit jolty in the lower gear changes (likely due to the DCT), poor vision with the reverse camera, the hyundai app (autolink) is truly terrible and not worth using
What is ok: the infotainment system, back seat room, boot space (you can make it a bit bigger with a space saving spare tyre.

i30 SR is a hot hatch!

published

I can't believe the features in this car! There are more features in this car than most base model luxury cars and half the price! I just picked up my new car yesterday and it will take me a while to explore all the features in this car. Such smooth performance, solidly built and luxurious on the inside. The black leather seats with red stitching truly grabbed my attention and didn't let me go! I've been looking for a new car for most of the year and when I drove this one I was totally sold! So much interior space, great boot space and design. I'm looking forward to selecting Sport mode this weekend and seeing what it can do with that fuel efficient yet powerful 1.6 turbo that puts out 150kW!

Impresssive

published

Very impressed with my first Hyundai. Got the Active model with 1.6L turbo diesel motor. Very swift and economical. Beats my old corolla and Forester off the line easily and I'm getting 5.0Lt/100Km since new which was 1700km ago. Heaps of features included, the big screen has sat nav that works better than my tomtom and the DAB+ digital radio is great, but not in tunnels. My only regret is saying no to the salesman when being tempted witt he next model up, I now wish I had paid a bit more for the full suite of safety features, start button and bigger wheels. Not complaining though, this car is absolutely bullet proof, I love it.

Absolute pleasure to drive

published

This is my wife's 2nd I 30 we previously had the premium edition from 2014 to two months ago when we decided to upgrade to the new generation I 30 sr premium 1.6 litre turbo and must say this car is a credit to Hyundai having seen Hyundai grow from there original excel days .. I would highly recommend this product and model to anyone yes it's the top of the range and a bit pricey but you will not be disappointed at all we look forward to years of trouble free motoring just like our previous i 30

New design, more robust and tech

published

Having grown up in a family that only ever had Toyota cars, buying this car was a bit left of field. The new design is quite impressive, it looks a bit like a golf and from my understanding, this is due to the Hyundai team having Volkswagen designers onboard.

The android auto works wonders, the car has a smooth drive, responsive power and nice look interior. Pretty good value for money.

Superb quality, reliability and low cost of ownership

published

This is our 3rd Hyundai and the best yet.
The car hugs the road perfectly and feels more like a German car than a Korean car.
Most things are standard on the i30 including cruise control, DAB radio, and satellite navigation.
We love the auto lights setting and it has plenty of room.
It's great on fuel too

Bloody awful

published

I have a diesel i30 with 10000km on it as a courtesy car.
It is awful. It feels as if it has no suspension - every bump jolts, and at speeds over 100 km/h feels it will bounce off the road.
The engine is sluggish unless the pedal is floored.
No seat lumbar support.
Not particularly economical with 6.5 L/100km so far
Wouldn't buy one

What a car. All this for less than 30 k?

published

Have a SR dct. Amazing performance, handling and the car feels a whole lot more special than it has any right to. Before u buy a golf, Mazda 3, or especially a bloody corolla, drive this i30 SR.
It destroys all of these cars, at a cheaper price, with unmatched warranty.
Love it..................... well done Hyundai

I Love My Car

published

For many years, I have driven 4WDs. I was taken with the appearance and reputation of the I30. I bought the vehicle from Woodleys Tamworth and I just love to drive it. It is economical, has extremely good power when I need it, it is comfortable and well finished. The only problem I find is no CD player (I am older). By the way, the salesman from Woodleys is great - Hi Rohan :)

The new i300

published

What? Take a look at the tyres of the new i30 2017 model! I put my HYUNDAI carkey shaft into the tyre threads and my key was half immersed! That's means the threads are about 7 mm deep!. I just did the same with my HYUNDAI i45 and the same death of thread was observed on my front tyre! My Hyundai i45 are 63K km old n8ü7ow. how can an old car tyre 2 years old have the same thread depth as a new car? I walked away puzzled why this was so. The 2017 i30 car is absolutely brand new with new tyres that matched the thread depth of my two year old tyres Kumho. I did not bother to even ask the car dealers at the Hyundai showroom why!

Best car I have owned

published

I recently bought the Hyundai i30 SR 2017 model and I'm blown away by how much I love it.
I previously owned an Audi A1 with turbo and thought I would struggle going from such a zippy car to the i30 but wanted a reliable car that didn't cost an arm an a leg to service. I wasn't disappointed - the i30 has more guts than my sisters Mazda 3 touring (more expensive) - and is extremely smooth. It has guts when it needs to and doesn't struggle to gather speed. It's super comfortable and basically comes with everything you could possibly want from a car - leather seats, climate control, Apple car play, keyless entry and start, side mirrors fold away automatically when you lock it etc. Zero complaints. I would highly recommend it to anyone !

Can you put the car radio on without have the engine running. 2017 reg.?

i30 PD (2017-2020)

Has anyone noticed that with the bonnet being visible from the driver's position, it can cause terrible sun glare to be reflected at the driver, especially near sunset/sunrise? The only solutions I can think of are :

1) Crank the seat down as low as it can go and duck the head down a bit so I can't see the bonnet (not ideal) or,

2) Get the bonnet wrapped in vinyl with a matte finish to reduce its reflectiveness and/or,

3) Get some sunglasses with polarised lenses to reduce the glare.

My previous car was a 2009 Toyota Corolla and its bonnet was not visible from the driver's position.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with the i30. I got the Active with Smartsense. I love having all the bells and whistles, it's comfortable and it's got decent power.
