Hi everyone, I'm the very happy
new owner of a secondhand red 2010 i30 FD Sportswagon. My old and much loved Camry station wagon broke down about 200 m from my home when I was trying to limp her back there
I'd been thinking about getting an i30 for ages and even test drove one but couldn't afford a new one. I couldn't believe my luck when I went on Gumtree that night and saw that a car yard near work had a red wagon with roof rails. I rang up and booked it for a test drive the next day and that was that (with no pressure from couple who were also looking at it and would've bought it if I hadn't according to the salesman). It had been used as a hire car but it was in really good condition. I love it due to it's size - easy to park and for taking camping over summer and it's also roomy enough for me to put a mattress in the back if I don't want to drive home from a party
The only problem I've had so far is with the radio wiring as I can't listen to AM radio due to buzzing. My dilemma now is that I really need to get a tow bar put on and roof/kayak racks as I've bought a trailer and a kayak. I'm on a pretty tight budget so I'll be searching this forum for the cheapest option in Australia in terms of brands etc, I saw some racks on eBay but I'm nervous about getting them.
