Please vote and than tell us why you picked that particular model and spec.
I gave an other option for our overseas members as there seems to be many different and wonderful option not offered in OZ.
I picked Deisel for its fuel economy and for the extra punch.
The SLX appealed as a package. I love the trip computer being a bit of a stats nut. I also prefer the leather steering wheel over the the rubber one offered on the SX. Having a young family, the added safety of the side and curtain airbags also appealed.
Cheers

Much the same reasons as you... although subject to our budget think a few of us would have gone an SR if they came in diesel. (including you?)
Post by: EymaTeapot on July 04, 2008, 13:47:18
I would of gone SR if it had beens available in Deisel. I love the wheels on the SR and wouldnt of than gone and put after-market 18's on the SLX. Also like the body kit but might still put a kit on it at sometime down the track. The only other option i would have liked is full leather trim but neither the SR or SLX offered us that, At least not in this country....sigh

I guessed as much... The leather cloth combo works o/k for Tassie (leather seats a bit cold in the winter down here) although they were o/k in my Late Stepdad's Saab Aero Turbo I recently sold (3 different heat settings..) I also like the SR mags a lot although the SLX mags suit the i30 quite well (I.M.O.)
Cheers,
Dazz

Chose SLX for the extra 'bling' as I've seen it described elsewhere on this forum. Climate control, alloy wheels and a few other things.
Chose Protectz for the extra safety.

Middle of the range Diesel 1.6 include SLX plus equivilent European model .. etc..

same as my Style but without the auto-folding door mirrors & Auto-up auto-down on all windows,
do you know how the Auto dip rear view mirror works, it's suppose to be on my Style but the rear view mirror looks just like a regular one.

...There is a sensor below the mirror, with an on/off switch and a green LED showing when it's on (it always comes on when you start the car). Bright lights from the rear will dip the mirror, allegedly.

SX with Protectz pack.
The dealer gave me a Hyundai ESP video - that settled it!
How much is your life worth?
In a few years cars with ESP will be easier to sell, as more people find out about it.
So I chose on safety and running costs.
The torque was a bonus!

I agree safety is the word.
In UK with so many cars on the road the 2 second rules hardly exists from the car in front as someone will take your braking space or the space behind you.
In UK, ESP is standard on all i30 models so why isn't ESP standard across all models across all continents?
On the Kia Cee'd, i30 sister, ESP is only on top of the range model eg sport or optional on the mid range but not the basic. You can add as an extra for C£600 GBP

Even the UK comfort, base model, has more as standard than the Oz middle models.
You pay for it though !!!
