First post, first forum.  :scared:
Was considering purchasing an i30 but having since stumbled onto your forum I'm sold.
Did have my eye on a FD CW Diesel - seems quite practical and economical - a turn up as I'm an 1960's Holden man at heart!
Yet to purchase an i30 but hope to in the next 12 mths or so.
In another life I was an auto glazier so I have a reasonable knowledge of all vehicle glass related issues so feel free to message me with any issues/questions/problems you might have.


Peace y'all!

The rash was on your ankle a minute ago - have you been sitting in the nude in the lotus position?

Welcome Rouge,

That's a kind offer. Thanks.

Yes a CW Diesel is a great combo. We had a Diesel hatch then my wife had a CW petrol as she does limited mileage.

But that wagon body is more versatile than the hatch (and slightly nicer looking in my opinion)

So if you can get a Diesel CW in good knick, grab it. I prefer the almost bullet proof manual which is also considerably more economical than the 4 speed auto but you might struggle to find someone who wants to part with one.

The i30 has been amongst the best selling cars in WA for most of the last 8 years so your chances of finding a good one are better than most places  though!  :victory:

Agree Mr Dazzler, wagon pips the hatch in my opinion, will be going for a manual- shame they don't make SLX version in Manual....

Try and get one with the $400 cruise pack (Cruise and driving/fog lights) by the time you add chrome look door handle covers and a nice set of alloys etc.. you won't know yourself. I did a review when the wife had hers (I repeat myself a bit, but you get the idea.) We even scored a spoiler which I installed (another video for that)  :goodjob:

I really enjoyed those videos Dazz, did not know you was a bit of a You Tube star. The  waggon looked really nice with the mods. :goodjob2:
