Hi all. I'm not really good at this part, but I will do my best and if anyone wants, feel free to ask anything :)
I really enjoy the car and am getting used to it more and more.

Welcome Modulo, I see you're a youngster, it will be interesting to hear how you like your car. There is a lot of info here that could be useful to you. :D

Welcome Modulo

Well, firstly, it actually is not mine, but most of the time I'm using it etc. Though that fact actually does not matter much.
And I would like to thank the forum for giving good information as it really wasn't an easy choice between the i30 and the Kia Cee'd. But the reassurance from here tilted me towards the Hyundai.
It sometimes feels as if it does not have enough power to get going, but when revved up a bit then it has ample. At least that is my opinion. Only downside I can point out currently is the road noise (but a relatively silent engine), though as long as we aren't talking about really big engines with really nice sounds, I'd rather the road to the engine. I can hear the engine just enough to not have to look at the revs.

Welcome along to the club :) You're in the right place to have all your questions answered :) Some pictures? maybe any plans for the car?

Hi Modulo,
:welcome: to the club!
-
Aha, welcome neighbour :)
Добро пожаловать.
Have never been to Estonia, but quite close to its border - in Ivangorod town's fortress, right in front of Narva, instead.

Thanks again for all the warm welcomes to people from closer and further away. Glad to be here, truly. In case of any problems (which I hope not to encounter) I know where to turn to. Will try to get some pictures too soon. As far as the car goes mostly just everyday city life and shorter highway trips (and by short I mean really short as in 20-30 km). Though there will be "real" driving too probably. Not sure though. Will have to leave it this fall. Going to Schotland, Edinburgh to study. But I have absolute certainty that my mom will take good care of it.

That's dangerous, if she likes it, you might not get it back. :lol: :mrgreen:

:whsaid:
and not 2 forget to mention your seating position will not be the same, number 1 preset on your radio will be something you dont like, and the car will smell of a nice scent of flowers..
okay the last one I could live with :)

The thing is that actually it is hers, not just on the paper, but really, still, I seem to be the main user, and "I feel good..."
A couple of days ago discovered a superb use for the car: it's winter here, but the car is pretty well insulated (as compared to the previous one at least) so me and a friend on mine just let the seats down somewhere in the city and had a nice chat :D. Though the main regulator of the back support (the angle) get's on my nerves sometime. Winding and winding it whenever a bigger change is needed, though I like it for fine tuning. Much better with the wheel rather than the lever.
Love the usb/iPod/aux panel.
And now that there is some snow here at last (usually a lot more a lot earlier) that too is great fun with the car. I can literally feel what it is doing with every wheel. Not sure if it is my short experience (with the driving ed a total of 2 years soon) growing or just the car or sliding out of the road with the last one (I honestly did not speed and did everything by the book and managed to keep it on the road for a while, but in the end the trench claimed what it wanted), but with the last one I never felt it with such precision.

I'm guessing no damage .. You Europeans have an amusing way with words :lol:
-
Front bumper - destroyer
Back bumper - 1 bigger crack
Headlights - crooked
Airbags - both open and the passenger one cracked the windshield badly
Interior - what's left after airbags are deployed
One rear wheel - a bit skewed
Hood - mostly undamaged, maybe slightly bent or so, but looked like a hood not like scrap paper
Me and passengers - 1 small scratch in total
Car - insurance decided to buy the "wreckage" and not repair it. Airbags and the interior are quite expensive and it was a 7 years old Kia Cerato. Though it served us very well all that time and needed almost no repairs. It really hurt to see it like that, not only the guilt. But well everything has to go one time/way or another

Oh, ok :confused:

Yeah, they can change their minds about "chatting" by the time you get the angle right. :mrgreen:
