2008 Hyundai i30 Premium review from UK and Ireland
"A pleasure to own and drive - possibly the finest vehicle I've had in 30 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nearside rear seat belt pretensioner failed; replaced immediately by dealership.
General comments?
This is a very easy car to drive; the equipment level is very high and makes for an interesting and enjoyable experience on the road.
The torque at low revs makes city driving a breeze; at motorway speeds it makes overtaking effortless.
The audio system is awesome, delivering crisp, quality sound through the cabin. USB and iPod connectivity offer an unusual yet excellent additional variety to the usual sound sources.
