Hyundai i30 Estate Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Hyundai i30 Estate 1.6 diesel 2008

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.
