Hyundai i30 2.0 CRDi 2007

1 star review

 

I have just under a year until the finance and warranty finish and then I will get shot of the most disappointing car I’ve ever owned. It looks great and has a great level of equipment, but it’s built from cheap materials by chimps! Since October 2007 I’ve had: 3 TPMS valves snap, one whilst cleaning, nearly took my eye out, which my local tyre fitter informed me is due to a chemical reaction between brass & the alloy used, some French manufacturers used to use these valves until they realised the issue, they must have then sold them to Hyundai!; front suspension bushes and linkage replaced 3 times and is about to be done again following an advisory at the MOT 3 or 4 other parts replaced, too boring to mention. I also have rust in 4 places of my boot lid, 2 each side in identical places, yet Hyundai will not do anything about this as they say I have caught this with a ring .... both sides .... in identical places?! Perhaps it’s the way that the boot lid flexes and then catches the lights?!!! Never, ever again!

Hyundai i30 2.0 Premium CRDi 2007

3 star review

Great spec car for the money, a few minor gripes which are starting to become more problematic:- *pressure sensing tyre valves - 3 have snapped so far *suspension is getting more clunky & creaky *paintwork chips very easily *rust forming inside rear passenger door - no-one ever travels in the back but Hyundai say that this is because of the seat belt banging the paintwork!! *plastic coating coming off chrome parts of alloys *front passenger side rattles *uses one hell of a lot of coolant *ESP light intermittent on cold mornings *stereo switches itself off after making a thud noise *engine dips and then races when accelerating. Apart from this no problems! We’ll see what my dealer can do at the imminent service, I’m going to have a barny with Hyundai with the paintwork issues though!!!!

Hyundai i30 Premium 2.0 CRDI 2007

5 star review

I have owned this car for 15 months and racked up 42,000 miles without a single hitch - not one! The car returns 50-54mpg on long runs, of which I do many, and 45-50mpg on short runs. For the record, prior to me buying the 2.0L, I borrowed an i30 1.6 CRDI for 2 weeks and got an average of 62mpg. My car drives today, just like the day it was delivered - absolutely new in look and feel. It’s comfortable, quiet, safe (I think!) and handles and grips well. The level of appointment in the cabin is very good. Servicing is cheap and service levels are excellent. Over the 5 year warranty, I expect to clock up over 160,000 miles. I think this car will breeze that mileage, with more to go at. But if it doesn’t, who cares? It ain’t my problem - and no other manufacturer can come close to that last statement.

Hyundai i30 1.6 2007

5 star review

I drive a fair distance every day (50 mile round trip) and the i30 handles it with no problems at all. I bought a pre-registered model for a very decent price and the most impressive thing about it is the build quality, all plastic I admit, but high quality plastic. Air Con came as standard along with a CD player and alloys. There has only been one issue with it so far and that was only a faulty indicator but this small inconvenience did allow me to experience Hyundai customer experience first hand and is was excellent. The RAC cover is free for the first three years and and they fixed the problem quickly and Hyundai provided me with a courtesy car immediately - I was very impressed. This car has certainly made Hyundai into a brand that I now respect.

Hyundai i30 1.6 Style 5dr 2007

5 star review

Really excellent car, I’ve had mine 4 months and I’m really pleased with it so far. It has a nice smooth ride and feels really solid and safe. Comes with a really good set of standard equip and feels and looks like a more expensive car.

I work for Hyundai and this is my company car. It’s cheap, spacious, luxurious and safe. A very capable all-round car at a great price.
