Suzuki Swift sport for jdm and Australia market is without hybrid. Only those bound for Europe has the mild hybrid and lower power.

So it seems like KMC has sold all the late 2019 shipment.

Next shipment could be much later with the facelift, and looking at the specifications list the 1.0T-GDI non mild hybrid should be the one heading to our shores, if at all.

I see... but our emissions standard stricter than Europe now... so we'll probably get this mild hybrid nonsense also... very soon... everyone is jumping onto this ridiculous bandwagon... either make it fully electric or real hybrid... not this mild hybrid nonsense...

Aiyoh... the naming convention is such a mess... since when the i30 has a sedan model...

This looks nice, any rumours when it will be expected here? Wait until Jan car show (if there is one)?

Some of the 2018 i30s should be due for change of shoes ......

A tip here - the Tucson 17" rims are a perfect fit for the i30. There are quite a few, if u look around, selling for about $200-500. Fit it with Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 225/45/17 (can easily find for <$130/piece, Made in Germany, not MIT kind). This is easily one of the better upgrade you can do for less than $200 (you have to change the i30's shoes anyway ....).

These 225/45/17 F1A5 are in a completely different league from the OEM 205/55/16 Hankook Kinergy Eco2 that came standard.

[See_nik]

Not exactly sure why, but the F1A5 are selling at very good price. I started with looking for PS4 , which is available in 16" size @ about $160/piece. The F1A5 starts with 17".

Anyway it not just an issue of PS4 vs F1A5 but also 205/55/16 vs 225/45/17. Check this review 🙂

Hi, currently looking at honda civic 1.6A vs i30 1.4T DCT as my first car, looking to buy used around 2-3 year old.

However, doing much research, my concern is the maintenance and how fast the wear and tear for the DCT gearbox in the i30.

Can anyone share some experience?

So far no one has come in here to complain among the i30 owners...

Anyone got news on the new i30 coming in? Will they bring in the fastback version or only HB?
