my last two built in Australia Ford's di not come with lighter just power plug in.
I don't want people smoking in my car, i don't know about the rest of you but i don't like the smell it leaves. but i'm not a preacher you do as you please
. just don't like having a cig lighter in my car, Hyundai could save $ not fitting them or giving all cars a iPod cable in place of it.what do you think?
cheers

However, I do smoke while driving but only when on the motorway, with the window open, so the smoke gets dragged out.
Tis a good point you make though. My previous car - a Rover MG/ZR - had neither

I dunno if this is just old-school, but for those tent-travellers out there the car lighter provides a great source of power for a camp light or fridge. I intend (hope) to travel around Australia by car sometime in the next 5 years, with my i30, I'll make use of it then.
Hi Rubix,
Don't know if you noticed during your test drive but there are actually two 12 volt outlets in the console of the i30 (no one is really complaining about them as they are handy just to charge GPS and Mobile phone or other gadget at same time) just that in this day and age of anti-smoking some of us are surprised they still come standard with the lighter and ashtray in the car..

Cool enough. I think manufacturers might include it because "why not" rather than "why" - eg phone chargers is another good reason to keep them.

Nice blue glow when the power is on and very handy and bright torch when needed.
