Hyundai i30 Estate 1.6cdi Estate 2008

1 star review

I bought a used i30 estate with 26300mls on the clock in Sept 2010. Everything was fine, a great car with lots of kit! In July 2011 the turbo blew and it needed a new engine, turbo and injectors, with its mileage now at 32912mls. In Nov 2011 the turbo blew again, I don’t know how much damage has been caused yet as I’m awaiting the garage report. The mileage is now at 35455mls. You guessed it, I’m not a happy bunny!! I might part-ex for a petrol model! Footnote: I always run the engine for 30secs. after startup before pulling away,and vice/versa on stopping.

4 star review

Just to add to major moan re local main dealer’s disastrous clerical inefficiency, this spate of zero and sub-z temps reminds me of army drivers running blowlamps along fuel lines when diesel jellified therein! Seriously, my mpg reduces to mid-40s from a constant higher 50s as soon as the outside temp drops, doing exactly the same sort of pottering around Cheshire on minor roads/lanes. All sorts of problems with sound system as installed, won’t play CDs every so often, starts MPs per USB whether head unit on or off, dealer’s senior receptionist tells me they’ve had a lot of demands for radio replacements but quite honestly I can’t be a***d! (sorry, ’bothered’).

Hyundai i30 Estate 1.6 diesel 2008

4 star review

Huge problem with (main) dealer’s refusal to give invoice for my purchase of a pre-reg ’demonstrator’, for which I’d part-exed a low mileage Getz - I’m naturally worried in case a warranty dispute arises. Quite unnecessarily quick acceleration links with unbelievable economy (60+ mpg bobbing around the lanes) + a quiet and smooth ride to give an excellent motor-car: the only - and infuriating - problem so far being that when a memory stick is plugged in the system starts playing every time the ignition is turned on even though the head (radio) unit is switched off. AND the flaming thing returns to the 1st track every time! Service manager’s response: "Oh yes, my dad’s just bought an i30D estate like yours and it does the same - must be a software fault somewhere". Car excellent, local main dealer deserves a Gordon Ramsey style description.
