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
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.
