Love love it
I love how modern it feels with the best technology. With The reverseing camera and sensors, the hands free for your phone, blue toothe connectivity, hard drive to store music on, airbags, you feel like you have a premium car at such a reasonable price. Also a lot of boot room in the hatch

Worst Car We have ever had
We were very excited to be buying our first ever brand new car. What a mistake. We had some initial problems, steering column, radio not working which required a major day at the mechanic. These were within the first 6 months of having it (so was under warranty, but seriously major problems so early on, really??) Since then it has been okay, but now the clutch and gearbox both need replacing. These things do happen but we have had other vehicles over the years and none of them have skipped a beat. Will never by a Hyundai again and probably won't waste our time with brand new either. Such a shame, I don't like to leave a negative review but a car is a major purchase so I feel it is necessary on this occasion.

Mixed feelings so far
I have the SR variant with turbo engine. I am still getting used to the Dual Cluth Transmission as I have only ever driven fully automatic cars. The tyres are very noisy at high speeds too.
The interior is comfortable. Leather seats, glasses holder and dual zone climate control are my favourite features. Boot space is ample.

Hyundai i30 - Great cheap Car
The Hyundai i30 is a great little hatchback that for the money has many features packed in. Android auto, Apple carplay, Cruise control, Electronic folding mirrors leather seats and has heaps on storage for a small car. I fits the whole family with room to spare (my family has 2 adults and 2 kids). Would buy again!!

A great car
This car is an all round bottler. It's got good acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine. It's great to drive, easy to park and good on fuel. I was quite surprised by the additional features that come as standard on the Trophy edition. When this one get's a bit older, I'll definitely upgrade to a later model.

Great car for the money. Has everything i want. No issues
First hyundai I've bought. Totally happy with it. Sure it's not a mercedes but everything works as it should and the styling is pretty good actually. I love the reverse camera so much. It's such a great feature. Bluetooth works great for my phone/music. I love the extra things like cruise control, rear window wiper. No dramas or issues with anything so far. 5 year warranty. Engine performance is so much better than an i20. Downsides are: no cd player (yes I'm old school) and the buttons to control your phone are in the middle console, not on the steering wheel.

You won’t be disappointed
Purchased a 2013 i30 Trophy from Pickles Auctions for a fixed price. Very well built with 5 star ANCAP safety rating, numerous air bags. This model comes with dual climate control, GPS, reverse camera and the door handles light up when in the vicinity of the car. Great to drive, awesome on petrol. Plenty of room for 5 adults, it is deceptively big especially big enough boot space for a pram. No regrets, very happy

Great family car option - better than most small SUVs
This isn’t a performance car but with the diesel engine you get plenty of torque and you wont be left disappointed overtaking even with the a full car with people and cargo. Seems to handle a bit better than the hatchback option which I also own possibly because of the independent rear suspension on the wagon. Cabin has everything you need minus leather seats and cargo space is legendary. Much better option in that regard compared to the equivalent ix35. Proximity key and auto folding mirrors are great features I didn’t have on the hatchback op...Read more
tion. I’m not a fan of the sat nav system but most cars are way behind the standard google maps options available in modern phones. Fuel consumption is very good on the highway but not so impressive in city driving.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

It is quite easy to manage and
The driving experience is smooth on freeway roads however found some difficulty in driving around hilly areas.
Legroom for the driving seat is very good however the back seats could have a better leg room. Maintaining cost is the best part and also I like the fact that it has the rearview camera and integrated Air Play.

Best car I’ve ever driven !
I recently purchased my second i30 from Pennant Hills Hyundai and I couldn’t be happier with it.
The car is so easy to drive and handles better than any of the other cars in its class. I’ve driven my friends Corolla and Mazda 3s and Nissan Pulsar and the i30 performs much better than all .
It’s comfortable, although I think a tall person may have an issue with head room.
I do approx. 100 km a day including narrow windy roads and my i30 corners fantastically and has enough power to accelerate well up the hills .
If you’re considering a car in this class make sure you test drive one, I’m sure you’ll agree with me .

Reliable car
Bought second hand model after having an accident in a Mazda and it has not faulted me once. The features (bluetooth, reverse camera, push button start, keyless entry etc..) are nifty and fun and the diesel engine provides great fuel economy. Hyundai also replaced a blown speaker without any hassles.

No regrets, this car hits most points for your average driver.
For a 2015 model, this car still has an excellent finish that keeps it looking great on the streets. The comfort and features are on-point. I particularly enjoy the simple effective bluetooth system, and the automatic reversing camera display. The only feature I am wishing was included was the automatic retracting sidemirrors on parking.
I am no expert driver, but it handles as great as I'd expect any modern car to. The fuel usage is around 8L/100km with mostly urban driving. I am the third owner and I have been driving it for a year with no maintenance issues whatsoever. I also feel confident that Hyundai's are popular and be somewhat standard fix so I don't have to be worried if issues do eventuate!

Great car. Small engine though
My wife and I recently bought the hyundai i30 (2014) as we had really good reviews with it. Its wide enough to fit three child seats int he back (and that was a requisite for us (although the seats do have to be smaller). The car drives nicely and it has bluetooth and rear sensors which we wanted for safety reasons. The only drawback is the engine size and that when the car is on a hill, it takes a lot to get going if the car has quite a lot of weight in it.

Great reliable car
Bought this car 2nd hand when it was 1.5 years old. I've had it for a year now and it's given no issues, which is to be expected of a car that is only 2.5 years old. Regardless it is still a great car to drive. Quite fuel efficient and smooth. It comes with a lot of features like rear view camera etc and is overall great value for money.

Good all round city commuter car
This is a very well renowned car and is perfect for city commutes etc. It is very reasonably priced for the features that it comes with. Just enough zip and the economy is fair. My only point regarding this car is that the steering of the car are is so electronic and if you're about a driving experience, (which if you buy this car you may not be) then it may not be for you. But overall very good quality, well equipped and nice car.

Love my hatchback.
Love my Hyundai. It looks cool, drives great, detail is fantastic and easy to maintain. Only fault is the windscreen is a little glarey depending on the light outside. Probably would buy another if I ever have to. Storage compartments are adequate and boot space ample. Easy oil/water access and I feel very safe with the new braking system and warning mechanisms eg. Rear camera, dash alerts.

Can't fault my Hyundai i30 5 door hatch auto
I purchased a new Hyundai i30 Active 2012 model in early 2013 during a "end of model sale" with a $2000 price reduction and a set of free Hyundai floor mats. The vehicle has provided very economical and consistently trouble-free motoring since new. It has never required more than its annual capped-price service and I have never had to top up the oil or coolant between services. The vehicle is frugal in its requirements for these liquids as well as for petrol. In 2012, the Hyundai i30 was nominated the small car of the year and for me it has li...Read more
ved up to that nomination. In the past I've owned other vehicles including Holden (vintage 1956), Toyota, VW, Nissan and BMW but the Hyundai i30 has been the most trouble-free and cost effective. The driving experience is likewise very good. I find that the interior of the i30 is comfortable and the driver's seat in particular. The vehicle is easy to drive and steering and braking are very responsive. The vehicle is easy to park, although care needs to be taken as the nose of the vehicle is not visible from the driver's seat. I purchased the i30 from Brighton Hyundai and the vehicle's servicing has always been undertaken efficiently and competently. The current Hyundai i30 was recently nominated car of the year across all categories. I'm waiting for Hyundai electric cars to be introduced into Australia but until then the i30 provides good motoring. July 12th 2018 Update: Best car that I have owned - trouble free, economical and reliable motoring I have owned a Hyundai i30 for 5 years since purchasing it new. Running and maintenance costs are minimal as it only requires a capped-price service once per year. The vehicle is fuel-efficient. Driving has been trouble-free and the vehicle starts every time, without any problem. I rarely need to replace/top-up the coolant or oil (usually only occurs as part of the annual service). I have fund that the vehicle handles and responds very well and that the driving experience is quiet and the seats comfortable. I have owned a variety of cars over the years: VW, BMW, Toyota, Fiat, Holden and Nissan but the Hyundai i30 has been the best vehicle to date, taking all aspects of motoring into consideration. It is not a luxury car and for the price paid (approx $22,000 during an end of calendar year run-out) it has been a very good buy. The Hyundai i30 has a lot of electronic features that I don't bother to use, but if that is a consideration for prospective purchasers the vehicle has plenty of them and probably has even more in the latest model. I would recommend the Hyundai to others as a very reliable motor vehicle that has retained a 'current model' appearance, despite being 5 years old.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Favourite Car
I absolutely love my Hyundai i30 and dealing with Hyundai. The car is extremely reliable, drives well, I also have the reverse camera and GPS which is by far my favourite feature. After switching to the i30 and Hyundai I wouldn’t go back to any other car brand now. Would highly recommend

Nice Car!
We bought this car after a large storm, and this car, despite it's low cost is actually pretty nice. My family bought this car because of it's amazing storage. We can fit two full-size cello cases in the back, with the seat down, and still transport two passengers and a driver. Going up hills isn't that great. The fronts seats have ample leg room, while the rear seats have a little less.
