Hello everyone from the UK

Good morning everyone,
Thought i'd say hello. I've just bought a 1.6 CRDi Comfort model i30 in white 2011 model with 2k miles. Loving it so far

Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome. I've just sold my 59 reg Jag that i had from new and bought this. Very different. The jag was like driving a big heavy tank compared to this. It's so nippy. Loving the blue dash too. Spent 3 hours yesterday cleaning it as the dealer didnt do a very good job. Nice and clean now though.
I forgot to add that it's my 3rd Hyundai. I had the S reg coupe and a new coupe in 2006. I wish that they still made them but thrilled with the i30 up to now

Lucky lady to have one with just 2K. It will just get better & better

What a friendly bunch you are. I had a silver xtype 2.0 diesel that i intended to keep a very long time but we had to buy a 4x4 as we live down a lane that we get stuck in during winter and the intention was that my husband would drive the 4x4. He thinks it's too big for him and he also said the jag was too big so i went out and bought the i30

His company car is due to go back in January so i'll drive it til then and then i'll be back in the Kia sportage. I'm enjoying the i30 til then though

2i30s · **Reply #11: September 28, 2011, 09:23:03**

did you know that KIA is Hyundai's sister company.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #12: September 28, 2011, 09:30:21**

We have very few diesel X-types in Australia, most are petrol, which is a shame. There are a few but you have to look for them.
You will love your i30 though - the further you go the more it will endear itself to you.
If you get a chance to post some photos, they're always welcome & enjoyed

SarahAnn · **Reply #13: September 28, 2011, 09:36:52**

I will post some pics later. I'm just popping out to visit my parents. It will be it's first long-ish drive out since collecting it last week. Looking forward to it. I looked at the Kia pro ceed aswell but thought the i30 looked better and have always had a soft spot for Hyundai. Bye for now folks

Hi from Tasmania

(which is a very long way away)

Glad you are enjoying your i30

I think she has a pretty good idea where you are. They have a long standing tradition of sending people there in ships.

Welcome SarahAnn.

In my opinion the Kia doesn't have the same build quality even tho' the i30 and pro are built on the same platform.

Hello from the U.S.

AlanHo · **Reply #22: September 29, 2011, 06:24:22**

Welcome SarahAnn - from sunny Solihull. Am I likely to see your i30 in our area?

accim · **Reply #23: September 29, 2011, 08:49:29**

Welcome Sarah!

So, who usually drives the Sportage and where is it now?

And I believe you love the car, it's a lovable car, what can I say

SarahAnn · **Reply #24: September 29, 2011, 09:02:35**

AlanHo - We are in Lincolnshire so i don't think that you will see me

Accim - The sportage is on our drive until the weekend when we tidy out our 2nd garage (the i30 is tucked away in the other garage). I drive the sportage aswell as the i30. I thought i liked the sportage until i drove the i30. So nippy for a diesel

The sportage will be useful in winter though

asathorny · **Reply #25: September 29, 2011, 09:03:40**

Well done SarahAnn for having such good taste

and I just know you'll enjoy especially with this amazingly good weather we're having. Looking forward to the piccies...

SarahAnn · **Reply #26: September 29, 2011, 09:06:18**

Thank you

I must say, my husband didnt have much say in the matter. I went out and viewed, test drove and bought it while he was at work. I loved hyundai cars since i had my coupes
