2008 Hyundai i30 Premium review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable and stylish, and a delight to own and drive"
General comments?
Quality is excellent for the price - this is a very pleasant car to be in.
Automatic box is the old torque-converter type, so more leisurely than modern double-clutch electronic boxes, but it makes for a comfortable, stress-free drive - and is exactly what I wanted.
The box is perfectly matched to the torquey diesel.
Handling is safe and predictable.
