I used to own the hatchback i30 version, I think the CW has a much better looking tail light.

JamesL,

The drive experience is what will swing you towards diesel. The rush of torque is addictive, and as mentioned, pulling up hills in the same gear is where it makes a difference.

The manual ‘box is excellent, and the clutch is quite light, too, so it’s an easy drive. If she doesn’t care, get her to take a diesel for a drive.

You’ll be sold.

Karl,
Great timing. For some time I was considering the i30 but the hatch was a bit small. The cw seems perfect for wifey and my 2 teenage kids. We are used to owning petrol cars but are game to try out diesel. On fuel savings alone, the premium on diesel car price cannot be justified as wifey plans to use it as a run around. However, long term factors might justify the premium.
Wifey is indifferent towards auto or manual although she has been driving auto for the past 4 years (she appreciates the ease of use of the auto ‘box). Is the manual ‘box difficult to live with?

You might like to realise the word ‘wagon’ for this car. So ummm, why no picture of the actual rear….we have already seen the interior/front end of the i30.

Overall fantastic car, much better than the Corolla/Lancer crap out there. And the Genesis is such a great car…please bring it here Hyundai!!!

First time I started posting here all polite and stuff, I got jumped on by the usual suspects. It’s only second nature to respond back the same way. Reaction opposite reaction etc.

But I apologize if I have been rude to anyone unjustly.
