Hi All,
Looking for something economical and reliable for running around the city and, if I'm being honest, it's probably going to get driven into the ground
So I am planning on looking at a 2011 i30 1.6L Petrol Auto with about 120K. Trips will be short, it will hit the freeway a few times a week, but never leave the city so I don't think the diesel will be an advantage as by the time it gets to its peak operating temp we'll have arrived
I've been madly googling for common problems (how I found this forum) and so far it looks like the only sticking point might be the 4 speed auto? Or is that just a case of the loud few?
So apart from the usual checks, I'll pay close attention to delays in selecting reverse and erratic gear changing behaviour. Are there other things this particular model might be known for?
Cheers!
