Hi everyone!

Couple of weeks ago I bought a stone black 2009 1.6 petrol comfort (dealer demo with 2000km, alloys + winter tires).

Originally I fancied after Toyota Auris but the test ride was so much of a disappointment that it was out of question right away. I noticed the i30 when it came into showrooms and about year ago I test drove a 1.4 classic which was ok but a bit weak on spec. The car feels pretty solid and I hope it will be trouble free because I hate nothing more than failing machines. The Hyundai has a pretty solid reputation these days.

By profession I am a mechanical engineer with a degree also in automotive engineering. Hobbies are motorcycles and tech stuff in general.
