Have you driven one yet Dave? As I said in my test drive thread the driving position and ambience of the cabin is superb Don't buy a diesel i40 i will be super jealous The Active is under tired though... If we end up with one in a year or two I would sell the 16" wheels and tyres and look for a 17" wheel and tyre package...
I'm actually a bit interested in the i40 wagon too but in the base model because it seems to be the only one that is available in diesel manual in Australia. Am I right in saying that?Dave
try turning one around in a tight spot quick.
think i saw an i40 yesturday thought at first it was a Big Honda Wagon but noticed the Hyundai grill badge looked ok if you like Honda Odessy style. i think it would be too big to be fun. i drive enough big cars now. i like small cars as more fun to drive. try turning one around in a tight spot quick.Dave my i30 has 4.5L/100k sticker on window the old 5 speed was 4.7/100k but i'm averaging 5.1L/100k i think a car that size would average 6L/100k but full loaded who knows?if i was looking i'd ask for a full days test drive, only way to really get an idea. but love Diesel if new i30 has a bigger diesel motor i'll get one filled up yesturday diesel $1.50, E10 $1.49, 95 Octain $1.59, 98 Octaine $1.64 if i had petrol i would be runing on 98 Octain as keeps motor clean but at that price and diesel economy way out infront.

what i'm saying is as it is longer wheelbase i would expect it to take a larger turning circle?so hence not as quick to turn around
I guess it would all depend on how much you could get an I40 for, and how long you will have to wait for a 2012 spec CW.
You might not think there is much, but allow....
Yes, good idea.This is the same dealer I had issues with at the first service on my i30. I watched them do nothing other than lift the bonnet & fill out the book, then when they realized they'd been sprung they got rather aggressive.An easy way to pick up the "free service" fees from Hyundai for doing absolutely nothing I guess.
Well I bought the car from them but didn't go back for servicing.The dealer principal was made aware of everything at the time because I filled out their customer satisfaction questionnaire and told them all.
