“Hyundai’s (pronounced – hee-unday)”

That’s INCORRECT.

I’m South Korean, and it’s pronounced “HYON-de”, with the ‘e’ (in ‘de’) like the e in ‘umbrElla’.

Anyhows thanks for the review, which I enjoyed. Cheers!

William,

I’ve recently been thinking about a new diesel car. So have been watching the price of Petrol v Diesel at the servos near me (in WA). I’ve noticed that Diesel isn’t any more expensive than ULP. Maybe a couple of cents somtimes. But more and more i’m seeing it at the SAME price. Especially BioD.

So, these arguments that the saving in consumption are negated by higher prices are starting to look less solid IMHO.

The i30 is a pretty good car, apart from why did the article quote the 4.7l/100km of the manual rather than the 6l/100km for the auto. With the current price of diesel compared to petrol, it equates to about 7.2 l/100km, thus it is more or less equivalent to petrol in terms of cost effectiveness.

Hello everyone!

Just an avid motor fan surfing the web on motoring news.
I’ve been a toyota fan most of my life (mainly because of reliability), however the new hyundais have been catching my eyes..

I’ve got to say, I believed in most of the reviews from wheels mag..etc etc…speaking of s#$t korean quality cars..but you know..if you guys want to talk about s#$t cars..look at our fords and commies..I think we aussies need to start judging our cars with our heads and not with our hearts…

this i30 proves that hyundai cars are superior than we are currently assuming they are…3.9mil – 50k = 3.85mil customers can’t be that wrong right??? right???

mr anthony crawford…thank you for your unbiased review…something i’ve never seen in a very long while…

Is there a reason the question about handing back the Nanos was ignored?

Bruce, I’m assuming you’re another goat who has no interest in cars but likes to comment on anything from mental health to Goldfish.

Good luck son
