I had to borrow my Wife Trish's MY11 2.0 Petrol i30 CW to collect a cupboard we bought from Penguin (about 30 kms from our place)
When I turned up to collect it the guy called John that I bought the cupboard from said to his mates .. This guy knows his cars .. Look what he is driving
Apparently he and his wife swapped their beloved i30 for a Tuscon as they need to cart furniture and stuff. They really miss the i30,he reckons they are a brilliant car.
I must admit I like the more direct steering feel in the CW over my fairly vague Hybrid steering.. The cruise in Trish's 2.0 Petrol Manual held speed quite well too up and down medium slopes (only a couple of Kph each way)
The 2.0 has adequate performance and I didn't even notice the road noise being as bad as I remember .. (I don't drive or ride in the CW very often.)
