SwirL 2nd Gear March 25, 2018 Share March 25, 2018 Rear seats not as spacious as Elantra. Regardless, a very nice car from Hyundai. Turbo is shiok! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keebok 1st Gear March 25, 2018 Share March 25, 2018 Walked in and took the i30 for a spin this afternoon after the initial Tucson and Peugeot 308. SE was quite enthusiastically recommending the i30 saying theyâre selling well. The i30 definitely had that continental car feel. Pretty responsive engine and steering too! He mentioned that the HU will change to 7â. Theyâre knocking $2,000 off to bring the price to a juicy $89,999. This is our first car and I was hoping to go sub-$100k. Hopefully booking in time for the April batch! He said they still have all colors available. Wow.. $89,999 got come with 3 or 5 years free servicing?

welfert Clutched March 25, 2018 Share March 25, 2018 Nice! What made you go for this beauty?The price-point for starters. We were looking at a second-hand continental car which came up to be about the same price as the i30. The drive felt punchy and fun. It’s also tricked out with the right gadgets that we’re looking for, though I wish there was the blindspot monitoring alert. We probably can’t do better for a first car than with this ride. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick to the "Stock is best" in the engine area and mod the rest on brakes and rims and Anti roll bar and you should be happy like a bird.

Do you mean don't pick turbocharged cars in general, or do you mean don't perform any mods to these category of cars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwirL 2nd Gear March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 Lol.. ya.. i think e 9 inch seems to run on android?? If wht i m seeing on youtube is what we are getting.. 9 inch Any current drivers can confirm if this is the HU that comes with the i30? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkydong 3rd Gear March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 Any current drivers can confirm if this is the HU that comes with the i30?It's not this model. The 9 inch model is essentially similar to the 5 inch model in the car except that it has Galactio GPS navigation. There will not be Apple Car play or Android Auto support. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
