Excellent work vehicle
We now have 3 I30's in our fleet.
They are used for our technicians to do onsite visits for our business and residential customers.
They have been completely trouble free, are very economical, fabulous to drive, and look great, especially with our livery.
I have nothing but praise for these vehicles, and in fact, have had only good experiences with Hyundai with all of our different fleet cars over many years.
Highly recommended
Purchased in February 2021 at Ross Granata Motors for $22,000.00.

ticks all the boxes except one
I love this car, has features that are helpful like the speed camera warnings. I use the car for Ubering so fuel cost are noticeably higher. At start of refueling you can reset the mileage use per full tank, it reads around 643km but at best I get
480kms. Eco mode and normal mode makes no difference so I drive in normal to get the car's full power out of it, Eco mode restricts the acceleration resulting in cars behind are tailgating at times. Otherwise would definitely recommend this car.
Purchased in January 2021 for $25,000.00.

Fantastic small car, particularly for the money!
This is my second Hyundai i30. My previous car was a 2011 i30 crdi, which was a great car - very reliable, great performance (the engine's in-gear acceleration was great!), but 7 years on the time had come for an update.
This time I decided to go for petrol rather than diesel (for reasons not related to performance), and was excited to see the release of the current generation i30. However, I was also disappointed that Hyundai discriminates against manual transmission buyers by not providing any of the SmartSense safety suite on the manual A...Read more
ctive models. Nevertheless, this year I purchased a white manual Active 2.0 petrol. This would have to be the best equipped, most refined and comfortable car I have ever owned, with very reasonable performance, high build quality and great ergonomics. Yes, it doesn't have quite the same in-gear acceleration as the diesel (but it's close), and it is not as economical (but still reasonable - about 7-8 km/100km around town). It's also a very safe car, even without SmartSense, with a high level of passive safety gear as well as a reversing camera and rear parking sensors. As I said, a great car for the money, and a real pleasure to drive!
Purchased in February 2021.

Really Good Car for the Money!
For around $22K this is a good vehicle. Adelaide roads suck as there are metal plates just where your tyres go everywhere. I thought I would need a 4WD but the i30 does a good job generally. They say they fine-tuned the suspension for Australian conditions - seems like they probably succeeded.
There is lots of room inside the car - probably a bit like a car of old in one way - you feel like you are one a bench seat, not in your own cockpit. This is not to say the seats are not comfortable, they are, even the back seats are not too bad having ...Read more
travelled for some time sitting on them. The car has good features such as the tyre pressure monitoring which has already caught a slow-leak puncture in time for me prior to a long trip. You can get some reasonable length items into the boot/car area when you lay the back and passenger front seats down. The rear-view camera is very useful for parking and plain reversing out of a park. The car has a diagnostics module that you can Bluetooth to use Hyundai apps to see all sorts of things that your vehicle is doing. The 12-month fixed cost servicing is acceptable. I am suspicious because the brake fluid changes are missing and car crews just love to invent additional things to try yo out on and get more money. They did not try it on in the first service. The 5-year warranty is good - as is the included Roadside assist. One thing that grates is the GPS - they don't update it very often (never in the 12 months that I have had mine) and when you get outside of larger centres like Adelaide some of the smaller roads don't exist in the GPS. You have to operate a TomTom simultaneously to get serious help at times. Another is the speedometer is out by about 8-10% and I use my TomTom to give me an accurate speedo. The interesting thing about this is that your fuel consumption looks better than it is and you are actually doing less Km than is stated - by up to 10%. Hyundai are no orphan in this regard of course. Another thing that is not winning any brownie points is the delay in the auto transmission. Sometimes when you try to move off quickly the vehicle acts like it has a flat spot and just does not move as you expect it to and what it does do normally. The mechanics say that it is what it is - but it can almost be dangerous at times and I find myself saying 'Move you slug' - or words to that effect :-). It does not do this all the time - but it can be unnerving in city driving when it chooses the wrong time to do it. The vehicle is very comfortable on long trips and the A/C works well. I was not that impressed with the after-sales service where I bought it from and found Reynella Hyundai to be really helpful and customer focused, so I now get it serviced there instead (I just don't get companies that don't understand customer service, especially when that is their core business - but that is the good thing about competition, eh!) Cars are cars - but overall you usually need to have one, so overall I like this vehicle, it is comfortable to drive, is priced right and am not disappointed with the purchase. It is my first Hyundai anything, but at this point in its ownership cycle and my experience with it, I would probably buy another Hyundai.Purchased in January 2021 at Adrian Brien Hyundai for $22,000.00.

Great car, I love it!
The 2017 I30 has proven to be a great little car, I get approximately 9L of fuel to every 100kms. The seats are comfy, it has great Bluetooth and steering wheel accessories. It shows you tyre pressures and has warning lights when they get low. I have only had one service so far and there was no issues. The only downfall I can point out is the GPS device, the issue with this is it does not recognise a lot of addresses, even addresses that are old and should be on there. Overall I would give it 4 stars (would be 5 if the GPS Was more efficient)

What is the five year warranty about.
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
lot of 2018 I30'S and they might recall them for this. Not good all around, part should be purchased by the dealer straight away and fitted by them when they get it. When I told a person at Lakes Hyundai that I was an hour away from the dealership he told me that I should look for a closer dealer. What does the five year warranty really cover.Similar opinion?

Great Car
Have had Hyundai for the last two cars the Getz and then the Santa Fe ... I trust Hyundai as to their quality and the Hyundai i30 Go is a little gem, very happy with the fuel consumption and the way it handles. Lots of room for the three of us plus luggage.

Can't fault this gem!
After searching high and low for my next car I can say that nothing could get near the i30 in this category. Even at the "Active" spec, the features crammed into the car are amazing. It drives really well, just enough get up and go for normal driving. I do a 100km round trip to work and its made it a much better experience. Great on fuel, full of tech and plenty of space for me, even at 6'2". Family love it too.

Disapointed
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
sing camera .Was told by two different dealers that it is a different camera used this time. The clarity compared to previous one is terrible, especially at night .Compared my camera in my car to other models in the yards of 2 dealers and they are all the same.Was told by both dealers Hyundai have in fact sacrificed some quality from older models for the new models .Queried this with head office in Sydney, very different story from the customer support person who said go back to service dept., but the response from dealership was to confirm what i suspected and that i will eventually get used to it, sorry can't help you.Similar opinion?

Best Car!!
I recently purchased this car for my business. I was hesitant to buy a Hyundai car as I have always drove a Corolla, but I don't regret the decision at all. The car is smooth to drive and has good space for a Hatch back car. The service and dealer was fantastic. I would recommend it if someone is keen to go for a medium car and has limited budget.

Second car.
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
but so far I have only been putting fuel once every 3 or so weeks. Great boot space. If you like CD slots, then this is not the car for you. Otherwise, bluetooth, usb are all available. Great car overall.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Perfect car for male and female
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
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.

What a winner!
So, my wife wanted a new car. To me, getting our usual requirements right was important and even though she was upgrading from the previous generation Hyundai i30, I was determined to perhaps sway my wife in a different direction. For example, we both like European Cars, but didn't want to spend more than we had to so the higher Golf Models at the time were out and the base model back then had 'nothing' in it. The Holden Astra had good warranty and looked the part but was not that well equipment in base specs and the 1.4 was sluggish and a bit ...Read more
jumpy. Kia is just another Hyundai with more warranty, more plastic and less resale value. We drove the Corolla as a hire car on the Gold Coast but it was loud in the cabin, slow on take off and the cabin looked a bit mismatched. The boot was also tiny. Speaking of small boots, enter the Mazda 3, the hatch looks better than the sedan, but no storage. But every Tom, Dick and Harry drives one, so there's got to be something to it. We test drove it twice and it is probably the most comfortable drivers' seat in the class, however, there is no Apple/Android connectivity, the warranty is mediocre, the service cost higher and the MAXX seemed underpowered compared to the SP. Now onto the new i30. As soon as we stepped inside, it had the WOW factor. I mean, seriously, 8"Screen with Sat Nav (which incidentally is so intuitive and even gives you live voice traffic info including red light cameras, merging lanes, school zones in a Base Model, you're kidding?! Well they're not. Auto Headlights, a huge boot, Digital Speedo and a powerful smooth as silk motor, we were both impressed, looked at each other and started to negotiate with the dealer. We bought a red one in May. It hasn't missed a beat and my 8 year old said on pick up that the seats in the back were really comfortable and that there was more room than in the old one. It's a winner! Well done Hyundai!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Superb quality, reliability and low cost of ownership
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
