Hey guys,

I'm not exactly an i30 Owner but I am a Hyundai guy through and through. I am a salesperson for a Hyundai dealer so I get all the first info on new cars coming through, I personally drive a Hyundai Veloster Turbo in Marmalade Chameleon and the partner drives a Hyundai Getz in Yellow so I'm definitely tied up in the brand.

I'm also a moderator on the Veloster forum and like to be able to give out information as it comes to me (as long as it isn't confidential!

) so you're likely to get some fun little facts about i30s as they come. I'll list a couple below:

i30 Tourer (I know you already know) released.
i30 3 Door will be coming from Europe as a pricepoint car aimed below the 5 door.
i30 SR will be released about 3rd or 4th Quarter of this year
i30 Facelift being considered (very minor)

Any questions, happy to help!

Hi Cameron. Ny sister in law bought an Accent from your dealership just after they were released. (with my input).

As a mod I can see your e-mail address. Don't think everyone can.

Welcome to the forum Maximum,

Good info, thanks.

There may be some questions coming your way, I feel. Glad you're ok with that.

Let me start the ball rolling,

Can you confirm the i30 diesel has a dual mass flywheel.

I'm looking forward to the SR coming so I can get some of those genuine fog lamp/drl lights.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

I'm not sure about the Dual Mass Flywheel to be honest, I haven't delved into it that far.

In regards to the Fog/DRL combination lamp, I believe it's the same part that the i30 Tourer will have so see if you can get one of those and it should be the same part

Thanks again for the welcome - once again I'm here to help so if anyone has any questions - please don't hesitate to ask

Also - if any Queenslanders are chasing an i30, I am also more than happy to help you out with the hatches, Tourer's or the 3 doors and SRs when they get here later this year

G'day mate and welcome.

What's your take on the annoying rattle under the drivers console in the FD I30cw?

I got rid of the glove box rattle with a couple of strategically placed rubber surface protectors but am struggling to get the dealer to take on the consistent rattle from the drivers foot well. Hyundai haven't answered my email....

Did you say the new tourer is getting the DRL?

Maximum · **Reply #10: February 22, 2013, 07:11:16**

Hey beerman,

To be completely honest I haven't driven one for long enough to hear the rattle you're talking about and I haven't heard of it before either.

ALL i30 GD Tourers (including Actives) will have the LED Daytime Running Light assembly

Welcome Maximum (or is that Marmalade?),

Yes, I've been on the Veloster forum as you can possibly deduce. It's great to have you on board.

Welcome Cameron ... We will find your updates interesting I'm sure ..

Hopefully, you will be able to help with some of the trickier questions like the Dual Mass Flywheel and CW rattle going forward

(May certainly help to earn some customers from the site)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into it. I imagine to get an "as factory" fit I will need the looms and indicator stalks too, also possibly some other stuff... Anyway, thanks & welcome.

Its good to see someone take an interest. Whilst no doubt there are some good salespeople out there, it is concerning when you go to talk to one when it is time to buy, and you know more about their product than they do.... When I was buying my second FD the dealer was all excited about the Tourer having found out about it that day, I had read it on here 3 weeks before, and knew more about the specs and models than he did.

Why do you think the I40 has been slow to take off? The reviews seem positive enough, yet I don't see many on the road. I would have thought the bigger car, getting close to I30 economy (in the diesel) would have been a winner?

Maximum · **Reply #20: February 23, 2013, 22:44:32**

I am always on top of news in regards to new Hyundai's. I've ticked off my manager a Couple of times knowing stuff before he does. The other day I told him we are getting the 3 door is and he said we wouldn't end up getting it. A couple of days later we had a meeting where he confirmed my statement.

I really do love My Cars and I think it shows when customers I deal with actually comment Saying so

In regards to the i40 I think its because it looks expensive and people Iook at it and say it's a large car anyway so they dont bother asking about it. It's a shame because its a worthy car and you can pickup a base auto petrol For 30 on the road in a sedan or About 32k for a Tourer
