Been driving an i30 2015 model for the last 4 years. Bought it at the unbeatable price of 11k- at 23k kilometers in 2017 (a golf would have been twice as expensive. I can fully confirm this review, the car is -allright- in almost all situations. Nothing good about it. Nothing seriously bad either. Its. okish. But the price is really fair, you rarely get so much car for that money. Would I buy it again? If Im low on budget and need something reliable to drive me from a to b, yes. As Im now in the situation to afford something better, Ill get a E200 from 2019 soon with a lot of extras.
For the german viewers: at top speed on the highway the engine and wind is really loud in this car, it takes quite a long time to get to maxspeed (180 in my case, but it decelerates fast even without using the brake. Its a very light car, so strong winds on high speed make the ride very bumpy and you should drive really carefully, specially watch out when overtaking trucks. Well. in my verdict, the car is not really made for the highway.

I will never buy another Kia. Period. We contacted the Kia Corporate office to help with an issue we had after our car broke down on the side of the interstate 2 times after being serviced at 2 different Kia dealerships, Langdale Kia in Valdosta and Crown Kia in Saint Petersburg. Kia Corporate gave us the run around, telling us they would send our service request upper management to have it approved. After 3 weeks, they finally told us that no our car wasn-t under warranty! What! It-s like they didn-t even read what we submitted. Kia doesn-t know how to fix their own vehicles and doesn-t care if they break down multiple times. This has been a horrible

The new hyundai elentra 2021 and kia k5, k8, k3. Sonata 2021. Honda legend made an auto car. Lexus is350 2021. Nissan patrol but I think you have armada 2020.
I watch all videos sometimes like, but I am a view. How old are you? Do you have kids? I think I know you so some questions will be deep. So do toyota more because it more reliable than German. Japanese is more reliable than German. So if you want to say -if reliable car click on the button on the top (or the mark on the top I don't know.

I'd buy it simply because the scoops at the front are real, not fake.
Nice one, Korea & Hyundai - you are not scumbags!
Protip: Hyundai only has two syllables - -Hyun- and -day-. It is NOT -Hi-yun-day- or -Hi-yun-die-
And in the USA, -The silent Y stands for youth marketing. -. The correct pronunciation, according to modern revised Romanization rules, is -Hyeon-dae, - with the second syllable sounding more like -day- not -die. - The exact meaning of Hyundai is -modernity. -

Seen one and sit on one years ago in a Motorshow. I loved the interior, but also 395 liters of charge capacity on the trunk is the same as a Seat Arona (a SUV) so that is brutally good. And the octavia is on a bigger segment of cars so you should not even compare it. But man even being an average car still looks brilliantly beautiful, and now they have micro hybridation which helps a lot on city restrictions. Brilliant car I'd say.

Hyundai is now what Mitsubishi was twenty years ago - good but a bit bland in the styling.
I've been driving them for six years now and drove Mitsy's for about the same. Both very very reliable unless abused and always looking to get a wide cross section of the driving public to notice them rather than blatantly aim at a certain demographic like German car manufacturers. I say Shortlist - if you want fun, get an i30N.

I wish you did an extra video (or chapter in this video) about the cheapest available configuration (-entry level-, at least in terms of interior design and infotainment.
And, please, give us the price of exactly the configuration you have tested there. (you gave a link to your favorite configuration, but its not clear whether that is what we just saw.

What funny, dinky little engines you Poms get! Here in Oz, the new i30 has either 2. 0L 4 cylinder (6A or 6M); or 1. 6 turbo 4 cylinder DCT. No diesel, no hybrid. Then again, petrol in Oz costs roughly half the UK price. Same rather odd front grille though.

Looks part Ford part VW part Japanese!
100 years from now theyll be 3 car shapes (if that and not if sooner)
Firer your car designers and hire an 8 year old then maybe get something exciting and imaginative!
Generic dull Eurocar

I would get a Golf if you love spending hours on car enthusiast forums trying to figure out what is wrong with your brand new car. Like, why is my carpet wet? Why does it smell like exhaust fumes in the cabin when I start the car? LOL
