In my european 1.4 T-DGI I have some of the features that surprisingly you guys don't t have on the better equipped SR, like passenger seat with height adjustment and LED side markings.Things I don't like at my PD, but one can easily live with, are the upholstery that has too much dust in it, the sometimes quite invasive ESP and the lack of rear air vents in middle of the armrest.Other than that, well done Hyundai, overall, you did a great job with the new i30!
Everytime I go in and I rest on the seat, looks like there's a considerable amount of dust coming out of it. Like, let's say it's a 4-5 years old car that gathered some along the years. As an example, I vacuumed the previous i30 3-4 times a year, as I keep my interiors quite neatly. But this one, has to be vacuumed every other week and still has a lot of powder in the cloth. And it's so easy to spot on the piano black surfaces and the upper part of the dashboard. Please note, I never drive with the window open, as I always keep the climate control on AUTO (22.5 Celsius), no matter the season.
Me neither... and I blame the foam/padding too. Only thing I can do is to lay my arse gently on the seat, not to disturb the power!

Hmm, never thought about that!Can I get the new i30 N as compensation for inhaling the toxic powder that can affect my health?! 🤣🤣🤣

Who knows, you might unknowingly be driving around with seats full of smuggled cocaine
Update! Just got rid of temporary number plates today and I got my preferential ones, reason why, beside washing the car, I decided to do something about the dust in my seats. So I've beaten them with my palms, until nothing came out of them. Then I rigorously vacuum them and looks like there's no powder coming out anymore. I hope I solved the problem, but I'll keep observing them a week or so and I'll let you guys know.

Good job nobody lit a match.
Not sure why...but this thread somehow reminds me of a conversation that I once had with an elderly furniture upholsterer.True story....He swore that the worst job that he had ever undertaken as an upholsterer was the one that he undertook re-upholstering each seat in an old movie theatre..He claimed that with each and every one...whenever he cut the old material in order to remove it from the seat, the residue of the multitude of farts that previous patrons sitting there over the decades was released..
Remember, no matter how bad the smell, keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose, that way it can't condense on your tongue !
The Capitol Theatre in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast had slung canvas seats.There's have been more than fart residue in them.
