Hi All,
I'm from Queensland Australia
Been reading the forum for the last 15 months. Finally purchased a crdi cw slx auto(white of course) just over a year ago. now 23000k's old. mostly very pleased with the vehicle. great for touring outback queensland 3 up. Spends most of the time in Brisbane suburbia . As we(better half and self) are maturing, we are looking at getting around a lot more and the last trip of 3300k's has shown us we made a wise choice. The forum, even with a few negatives, convinced us to get the cw and go diesel, after looking at Mazda, Nissan dualis and Mitsubishi. cost us a bit more than the others  thou.
Previous vehicles include ford xa v8 sedan, volvo 240, commodore 3.3, valiant pacer, corolla hardtop, mitsubishi magna and one of the first hyundai lantras.
 I have enjoyed the read here, seeing what happens o/s and within aus.
Also some good stuff on oils, tyres and service, just what I like to know.
Thanks
Don

Welcome, the CW sure is a practical little thing.

I'm sure you'll find answers for most questions you have about your i30, right on this forum  ;)

Another Brissy Diesel CW Auto  :happydance: Though mine does spend most of its time doing the reverse commute (Brissy GC). My 2010 CW has done 37k trouble free!

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome. I too used to own a Pacer and I was just thinking today what I would give to still have it! Not that I'm unhappy with our I30, it's just the character that the Pacer had. Easily the car I enjoyed owning the most over the years.

Hi Don, and welcome from another Brisbane member. I have the same vehicle as you and absolutely adore it. Looks like you've had a good look around the forum already and you are right, it has lots of useful information.
