Hi new member keith here, We bought our 2008 i30 slx diesel manual about 18mths ago with 90000 klm on the clock and have loved it ever since last week end 5/2/16 to 9/2/16 did a run from our home in central Victoria Australia to Bundaberg in Queensland left on Friday early stoped over night and got to Bundy about 4 pm on the Saturday about 1800 klm no aches or pains very comfortable drive.
On the way back Left Bundaberg but had to pick up parts for my land rover and got to Goondawindi for a motel room and left the next morning at 7.30am got home to Victoria at 9.45 pm about 1400 klm drive but arrived fresh the i30 is great.
