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!

Just Perfect!

published

Absolutely love this car. Have decided I will keep it until it dies. Fantastic fuel economy and has excellence take off and breaking capacity, I have never felt unsafe in this car. It feels like it hugs the road when you drive it. Not noisy and very comfortable for the driver - can't honestly say about passengers though.

Excellent space in the boot plus back seat can be folded down flat. I have shown lots of people how to get their seats flat that also have the i30 and they all love the car even more when they find that out. Most hilarious thing is that there is an A/C in the glove compartment... mmm love me a cold manual.

Has all the basic connectivity for audio which is super handy. Honestly love this car so much, just perfect.

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.

Very economical, reliable and zesty

published

I have had my car since February 2009 and it's a great car. I've traveled 135,000km in my car and the fuel economy is fantastic. I drove from Sydney to Melbourne on ONE tank of fuel numerous times. The turbo diesel engine is coupled well with the manual transmission which enables superior performance and great handling.
The only reason I haven't given the i30 5 stars is because of the headlights. I've had ongoing issues with my headlights blowing, on average, every 6 months. Apparently, it is a known problem in the older models but the new models have LED lights so it's probably not an issue now.
Great value for money and a very reliable car. It hasn't broken down on me and the service prices at Hyundai are very reasonable.

Update, nearly 10k kms up, no issues, no regrets, still fun, 7.8l/100 average over total kms, all using 91ron, mostly city driving, we live in the adelaide hills so every trip is down and up hill, great on twisty roads.

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.

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

Best Car!!

published

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.

Worst Car We have ever had

published

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

published

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.

You take our money and leave us with a multi coloured car

published

We have been sold a car with panel damage and now the front of the car is 2 different colours.
3 and a half months on Hyundai’s so called customer service are forcing me to resolve this in V-Cat.

The initial problem was panel damage in the front grille that I was told by the dealer that they had many new i30’s with the same issue, so be careful if you are buying a i30.

PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!

i30 PD 2.0L Petrol GDi (2017-2020)

Hi, does anyone know where in the navigation settings I can turn off the “you are exceeding the speed limit” voice. Very loud and distracting and happens when we go from 99 to 100.
Many thanks :)

We bought a 2022 I30 auto petrol model, it has a surging problem whilst driving. Has anybody have this problem

We had a problem with our 2011 model delaying when accelerating and then taking off (surging) was going to cost us about 4 grand to fix as it was out of warranty. Suggest to make a note of when it happens and let Hyundai servicing know so it is on record if it becomes more of an issue. Can’t remember what the actual problem was as we traded it in.
