This car has done 31k miles in 17 months with no major problems, apart from a notchy gear change going from 1st to 2nd gear, I get 600 miles to full tank of fuel and thats driving it hard, the car has always started 1st time every time, there can be the odd noise that seems to move to different places within the cabin while, the engine for a 1600cc is outstanding, many people commenting "what’s this a 2 litre?" I will hopefully be testing out this car’s unlimited mileage warranty which no one else offers, topping a 100k over that period, I did do 100k in my previous car over the period of 4 years (Suzuki Ignis 1.3 - 04 model) with the original clutch and exhaust! which were still fine when I traded it in which is good going considering it was half the price of my i30. The car is enjoyable to drive on long distances where I’ve drove several times 500 to 600 miles in a day’s round trip, with no aches or pains afterwards. On my second set of tyres, still the original brake shoes and exhaust from new, good stereo and the usb port is a boon, standard level of equipment is high. Is the estate version worth the extra cost? I would have to say yes as it’s has it in the right places, but it’s not a proper estate car in the sense of the word, but I’m still enjoying the ride thus far.

Purchased this car new about 4 months ago. The dealer I purchased this from is useless. I have taken it back 7 times for several things. 1. Poor gear change between 1st and 2nd, crunches every time. Still not fixed. 2. ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) light keeps coming on. Still not fixed. 3. Rattles. One from rear door, one from front door, one from rear view mirror. Mirror is the only one fixed. 4. Failed to start on 2 separate occasions. Is this fixed? maybe until next time. This car is cheap and nasty. Biggest mistake was believing the 5 year warranty meant the car would be reliable, it needs a five year warranty to give them all the time they need to TRY and fix it. I wrote to the MD of Hyundai 7 weeks ago and have had no reply from them at all. Think that says it all.

I am ex UK & live in Australia. The motoring body tech’ experts here say there is problems with quality. ie wheel bearings u/s @ 30,000 K, & other hardened load bearing engineering parts which have not been heat treated correctly & do not last the distance like the Japenese cars. Has anyone had problems like this or other things??

I have had this car now for 2 months and I am extremely happy with the outcome. Not only is it easy to drive, spacious, practical and economical but it comes with an unbeatable warranty which gives you peace of mind. The i30 has the utmost quality and beats every other car in a similar price range. I would recommend this car to all ages.
