Hi,
Thought I should introduce myself, now I have ordered my first ever Hyundai in the form of the new 2012 1.4 Active.
I am really looking forward to taking delivery of the car and saying goodbye to my faithful 14 year old Fiat. Who like all teenagers is burning a massive hole in my wallet. Therefore having looked around for a good deal and spec I decided upon the i30.

Here's hoping to a good few years of happy motoring. Any hints/tips welcome :)

I suspect that Cio will be having a Choice Czech Cracker

Welcome Cio and enjoy your new car - I am delighted with mine.

It would be nice if you could put your Country in your profile so we know where you are located

I didnt have any problems really with the Fiat (1.9MJet) turbodiesel) re-mapped to 196Bhp with 260ft lbs torque.
Its just that so many other owners did... I always had this feeling of impending doom lol!
