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...

Great fuel economy

published

Rented this on a recent trip to Brisbane - Wowo I loved it. Boy has this brand come along since I was a kid and they are getting into the performance side of things with the N series too now which are rivalling VW Golf. I really couldn't fault the car in any way - perhaps finish quality on some of the internal surfaces if you pushed me but it was not a problem. Mine was an auto an it was getting under 6l per100kms on the freeway - outstanding!

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic Car

published

Purchased the i30 SR with sunroof in July 2017. What a fantastic car. Looks good. Runs great. Highly recommend if you are after a small car. Very cheap to run and get approximately 600kms to a full tank of petrol. The interior looks great. The GPS and in car software is very easy to use. Also has wireless charging for phones - how convenient no cords

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.

Can't fault this gem!

published

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.

I love this car

published

Last car was a Ford Focus which I loved
Before that had an alpha Romeo
This is the best car so far
The i30 SR is a wonderful fun car
It has plenty of acceleration but is also full of sensible and useful options
And the 5 year warranty is the deal clincher

I love my car

published

This is a comfortable, economical and reliable car. It drives like a bigger car, it is safe with five airbags and yet the running costs are very low. Will buy another one soon to upgrade it, would have no hesitation to buy it again.
It has a lot of leg room and fits five adults comfortably.

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!
