Hi Hen,
Congratulations to your car.
What is your opinion/experience about the automatic transmission? I'm just going to replace my i30u manual with an A/T because of my back problems (I have slipped disk and it cause me pain pushing the clutch pedal), but thought asking around before make the change.
Regards,
Bela

Welcome Bela.. there are quite a few discussions on this site about the merits or otherwise of the i30Auto - it is only a 4 speed unfortunately (so a bit dated in design and performance) for example the Auto is noticeably thirstier than the manual (which is not necessarily the case with more modern 6 speed autos)

The CRDi motor apparently still performs well with the Auto .. zapps the 2.0 ltr performance a bit more I think...

You really need to take one for a drive to see if you wiull be happy...
