Best car ever

published

We had hired quite a few I30s so when it was time to buy I didn't hesitate. Love all the bells and whistles for the price ie reverse camera, auto headlights, auto wipers, auto door lock, keyless entry and start, leg room in the back, lots of room for lugggage etc in the boot area, cooling glove box, gps, bluetooth etc etc

Love this car

published

Love my Hyundai i30, it's so spacious for a smaller car. Drives well and doesn't chew up the petrol. The only issues I have is with the turning circle - its more like that of a big car! Also sometimes the reverse camera doesn't work (2015 model). The seats are comfortable, fits a baby seat or capsule as well.

Good Car except for Warranty Issues.

published

Generally a good car, haven't had too much troubles with the car aside for issues with the radio and audio system. I've had it repaired once already, and is continuing to have the same issue. It appears to be a known issue and am now just waiting for another refurbished radio.

Hyundai i30. 10/10

published

Bought a base model diesel (until hubby ordered his new car) as a runaround, then hand it down to the eldest child to update his old car. Was very impressed at the features on this and the drive. Would recommend this to anyone looking at buying a new car for sheer value and standard features such as reverse camera, sensors and the amount of charging points (beats my mercy for that number). Nice drive too. Only thing that lets it down is no digital speedo, but something he'll get used to. They have certainly come a long way since we last bought one around 15 years ago and got rid of it soon after.

Amazing!

published

I have had my i30 for almost five years, and I can say with much confidence, it's the best car ever! I have had no issues, it's very reliable and economic. It goes very well on the freeway, and easy to park and get to places. I would recommend an i30 to anyone, thank you to Hyundai for creating an amazing car :)

Awesome car

published

I traded my Jeep Grand Cherokee for an i30 to get my running costs down. I was not expecting much from a sub $20k car but it has blown me away. It is very comfy on a long trip and the economy is sensational
Running costs are cheap as. I have bought a lot of new vehicles in my time but this i30 is the best value for money by a long way.

Stylish and practical

published

We love zipping around in our little Hyundai i30 with the clear roof. It is neat, stylish inside and has all the bells and whistles you need and expect from a modern car. The seat warmers have been so very nice on the frosty cold mornings lately. It is reliable, the capped priced servicing is great and if there is anything wrong with it, Hyundai have been good fixing it. A great small - but not so small car!

Dream to drive

published

This is my second i30! It is such an awesome small car with such a large boot space and surprisingly a full sized spare wheel in there too. Seats are super comfortable with adjustable heights and lumber support. Super comfortable to drive with adjustable steering. The interior is very neat with lots of little compartments for things. The automatic wipers, mirrors and lights make it super convenient and is very economical and has enough go

This is very nice little car I really love it

published

Driving experience is excellent. I love it. I drive every day. However, I like do not like leather seats as it is too cold in winter. I would have bought cotton ones. Running cost is reasonable. I spend about $35 per week. I really love the colour of my car. It is metalic blue.

Great car

Excellent car to drive, feels stable on the road, handles well on freeway at 110kmh. Well set out dashboard and easy to navigate media centre. Very comfortable sets and excellent leg room for tall people. Great boot space and even has a full size spare wheel. We have had two of these cars....upgraded and gave the first to our daughter who loves it too.

i30 just right for me

published

I found the i30 just right for me. The dashboard is easy to read day and night. The controls are straight forward and easy to use whilst driving. With a baby seat it was hard finding a small car that would fit in the car seat I had bought, the i30 had enough backseat space that the passenger seat didn't have to be pushed all the way forward. I've done some long trips in the car as backseat passenger and driver, the seats are comfortable and I had plenty of room. I find the reversing camera really good. It's very clear and easy to see and navigate whether in daylight or night time.

Best Value For Money Car Out There

published

I have owned the 1.6 CRDI (turbo diesel) for 5 years now and it drives as good as the day I bought it and it constantly returns 4.7L per 100Kms. In sixth gear it is quieter than its petrol rivals. Forget all the negative rubbish you think you know about diesel engines, it is just not true about the new diesel engines. I will never buy a petrol car again, so delighted am I with this car. Oh and after 5 years of trouble free motoring I intend to keep it and break my habit of renewing my car once the factory warranty expires. Best value for money car I have ever owned.

Just an update, the car is approaching 6 years old and all is well, it still drives beautifully, the fuel economy is constant at 4.7 L per 100 KM's and still no issues to report. Sorry car dealers I am keeping this car for a good while yet.

Beautiful Car

published

I love this Car, Beautiful Leather interior, so silent on the road hardly any road noise, I don't however like the reverse alert button. I do wish I got GPS and reverse camera in my car, but they were personal choices. I was in that the car is absolutely perfect and I don't have any complaints

Great Car

Great value for money.
Only issue is the apple car play is only compatible with apple maps and not google maps. Since google maps are much more accurate in my opinion.
The front lights are a bit dim.
But the feel and design and great esp with the rear view mirror.
Its fuel efficient. And has enough power for long drives.

Hyundai i30 Trophy

published

Great value for a car.
5 car ANCAP safety rating, really nice leather. Bluetooth connection works fine.

7 year warranty on a new car, very hard to beat. Staff have always been nice when talking through questions with me. Drives really well. Hope to have this car for a number of years.

Awesome Car

Could not be happier with our i30, we've had it for almost a year (2016 model) and it has run smoothly and is a delight to drive, other than two break ins (nothing we could do about that) we've had to replace both back windows but everything else runs like a charm

Worth buying

published

Simple dashboard, good to handling and easy to park. It good for a girl to drive to work everyday. It costs 25 to 30 dollars for me to drive 40km a week. And the Service fee is free in first 5 years. But air condition is a little bit noise.
