Hi,

Ordered new i30 yesterday and waiting for delivery.
It's replacing a 9 year old Citroen Picasso that has served us well, but now the family is more grown up, we don't need the size, nor the petrol consumption of the 1.8 engine.

I'm afraid we have just gone for the basic 1.4 Classic.
We are in the process of moving house and would have waited until that was done, but there was an excellent deal, so we took it although we are strapped for cash at the moment.
Delivery will be within a couple of weeks we are told, but we are awaiting a formal delivery date.

Thanks for your welcomes everyone.

Welcome!!!
Don't be afraid of the basic 1.4 model. ;-)

I also bought the cheapest ticket for joining this club. OK, it's a CW but it is 1.4 with basic equipment.

To tell you the truth, I even like it more when the interior is plane black, without those gray elements, it looks more elegant.

And about other stuff, they are only useful stuff, not the needed ones. And I also checked with my dealer, they can Install almost everything from the list of additional equipment, so after getting some cash, I'm gonna get that arm rest for driver and front fog lights.

My kids and I fancied the black, but the boss wanted the red, so, red it is.

The red is very pretty, but do make sure you give it a good waxing fom time to time to keep it in tip top condition.

Welcome Keith :)
1.4 classic here too, nothing to complain about the engine, except the slightly increased consumption in traffic.
