HISTORY
There can be few more effective
cures for insomnia than a quick
trot through the history of midsized family cars from Hyundai.
We summed up the pros and cons
of the last one, the Elantra (right)
as follows: Top warranty, price;
totally average everywhere else.
All its models have been sold on
the stack em high, sell em cheap
principle and while this approach has undoubted shifted a great deal of usually
rather tinny metal, it has so far failed entirely to produce a car worthy of a place in
the memory. This is what the i30 is here to change.
WE DONT LIKE Euro-bland appearance Engine noise at speed High driving position

SEEING DOUBLE
It should come as no surprise that
the i30s ride and handling are
competitive, because theyre similarly
so on Kias Ceed, with which the i30
shares its platform (Kia is a subsidiary
of Hyundai Motor Group).
The Ceed cannot be had with the
i30s 2.0-litre diesel engine, but
otherwise the two cars have the same
engine line-up. Suspension is shared,
the two have the same wheelbase and
height, and are a gnats whisker apart

MATT PRIOR
Fuel consumption rockets
if youre pressing on. It
may be easy to make a
heavy car with a small
engine look frugal in
official figures, but its
different when keeping up
with outside-lane traffic
on the motorway.
JOBS FOR THE FACELIFT
Get rid of the awful
blue trip meter. Hard to
read, horrible to look at.
Install a longer fifth
gear to improve
economy, emissions and
refinement.
Redesign the stereo
controls, which are
badly labelled.
Put a new nose on the
car, one that looks like it
belongs to the tail.
