Reliable and cheap to service

published

I bought a diesel i30 wagon after a few friends recommended one. I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve now had it for 4 and a half years and done 100K km. The servicing is so cheap. The stock brakes even lasted until the 75K km service.
It was so great that my wife also bought thehatvhbaxk version the following year

Nice and spacious

published

I bought my i30 in 2013. It has driven so smooth since and I havent really had any huge problems with the car itself except to make sure my seat is up the highest it will go as Im very small and have to really stretch my neck to check my blind spots. (I think I would have this issue in most cars). Its also super comfy. I drive about 35-45 minutes to work daily and never feel crammed climbing out the car.

Under Power

published

i30 Petrol wagin is a very good make but I wish it had bit more juice under the bonnet. The engine of 1.6L is just a touch low in the grunt. I wish, it was 2.0L. Otherwise, it has great electronics and good fuel consumption at about 8.5L/100km in urban!
I wonder how Hyundai will compete with next version of Corolla!

Multiple Recalls, Wiring issues, Breaking issues, Electrical issues and blown trans before 200000ks

published

Purchased car second hand from a mechanic in 2015, it was 2 years old with 115,000ks on it, full service history. Within first year, two major re calls.. The car is great on fuel, 1.6l Turbo Diesel . by 2018 (car is 6 yrs old and only done 150,000ks.. the trans has gone completely... Full replacement is over 3k!!! Issue after issue with the car, only good thing about it is the boot space and the fuel economy. It makes me question how safe they are if the trans can blow driving on the freeway at 60ks...

Hyundai i30 - great affordable family car!

published

We bought the Hyundai i30 a few years ago and we love it. It's spacious, has great features (such as rear parking sensors), bluetooth, auto lock and substantial boot space. Running costs are efficient and servicing is also pretty affordable. We are looking to buy another Hyundai in the future.

A wonderful little car

published

I was pleasantly surprised by the good headroom and leg room for my 185 cm frame. Its interior is well set out. It took a bit of getting used to the number of lights on the steering wheel first time i drove at night, but they are useful. The ride is quite comfortable. The trip computer fitted is a useful addition

2016 i30 leather interior - great car

published

Bought brand new in 2016 and paid $25,000, felt a bit ripped off at the time by John Hughes sales guy but the servicing and car has been exceptional. Love having my iPhone connected to the display screen for calls and gps mapping. Has all the extra features which I need as a sales rep on the road.

great car

published

I bought the Hyundai i30 new and have owned it for two years now. 5-year warranty and fixed price servicing were the strong buying points for me. The car is smooth and responsive. Reasonably economical and very comfortable. It has everything you need in a small car. Fuel averages around 7.2l per 100klm.

Not a bad car

published

My 2014 i30 has a really great interior. I find the firm seats comfortable but some people do not.
It has heaps of great accessories and multimedia tools, and there’s nothing else I would need on the interior apart from maybe GPS, but I always use my phone for that anyway.
My biggest issue is more the drive. It’s smooth, but since it’s only a 1.8L V4, it’s not as powerful or as quick as I would like my next car to be.
Handles corners pretty well though.

Beyond perfect

published

This car drives like a dream!
This is my second time owning an i30 and soon to be the third!
I’ve updated every 2 years. Incredible drive, so much power and so much out of a tank!
Quiet drive. Beautiful looking inside and out! So many features!
Love the spacious interior, but the small looking exterior. Size is very deceiving!
Never had anything wrong with my i30’s in the past 5 years. I get it serviced from the dealership once a year and they include road side assist for doing so! Win, win.
Beautiful car! Worth the money!

I love my i30 CRDi (Diesel)

published

I bought this second hand and have been extremely happy with the fuel economy. It's relatively cheap to fill and a full tank seems to last ages. It's the first diesel car we have owned and we love it. It's very comfortable and the dashboard is really sporty. There's plenty of room in the boot and the rear seats fold totally flat so you can fit a lot in if you need to!

Best value for money car

published

After dealing with a terrible second hand car buying this car was the best decision I have ever made in my life. It is extremely reliable with 5 years of warranty and 10 years roadside assist, it is very economical and has outstanding features such as the ability to record the radio, bluetooth, reverse beep and camera

Hyundai i30 2016

published

This is an amazing car. Great on fuel, maybe fill up once every 2 weeks or so.
Very comfortable and the accessories such as the large touch display is amazing! And it connects with my iPhone and shows the apps I can use.
Nifty little car, will definitely be getting another Hyundai for my next car.

Fab car! Can't fault it

published

Bought this car for a family of 4, fits so much in! very spacious, sat nav is great, massive boot! Drives very smoothly and love the fact that the keys can stay in your bag the entire time and everything is push button. Would defiantly recommend for anyone! The only note would be that only a small person will fit in the middle seat with 2 car seats.
