Faults:

Not very much, but I have only had it eight months.

General Comments:

A great alternative to a Focus or Astra, this i30 is a great family hatch.

Good to drive and economical (well over 40 mpg from petrol!). Not very fast though - but you cannot expect too much from a 1.4 engine.

Very modern looking for over a decade old.

Not quite as spacious as you might think - I am going to upgrade to an i40 next. But this i30 will do for now.

Love it so far, modern reliable and practical. Not bad looking either. Active model has enough extras. Well worth a look, priced well compared to rivals on the used market.
