Tropic Red i30 Elite 1.6 CRDI GD

Wendee16 · **August 30, 2012, 11:24:40**

Excited about picking up my new i30 tomorrow...... Thankyou to the i30 club members for all your write ups as this definitely encouraged me to purchase this vehicle. Hopefully it won't let me down. And I was excited to see I also scored heated front seats in the i30 - definitely was not expecting that!! I've never posted on a forum so I hope I've done this right. I'm also looking at car seats for the i30 (Betty Boop would be good) any ideas! Cheers Wendee

Welcome to the forum and great choice of car.

How did you get heated seats in the Elite? They are supposed to be in the Premium only and I was toild that they may even be discontinued in the Premium in the next shipment.

Quick ring your dealer

Welcome Wendee .. We are excited too .. Hope you stick around (we have fun on here)

Seriously I have the heated seats as they took me down and showed me the car before prepping it and I was asking what the symbols either side of the SAT Nav screen were (they are at the bottom) and the Salesmen himself was surprised about it but he said they were the buttons for the heated seats!! The i30 was made in Mar 2012 and arrived in Australia Aug 2012.

Silly question from a PoM

Do ya need heated seats in Oz?

Or is it a complete misconception that its never REALLY cold there?

I mean I get heated seats in my UK spec Premium with full leather and potential -10 degrees each year... but does the car have cloth seats?

But in Oz?

Dazzler · **Reply #10: August 30, 2012, 11:47:40**

That's a nice bonus Wendee. Dave is right .. on the Hyundai Oz website it says Premium only for the Heated Seats

Cars parked outside at night in winter in Tassie, Victoria, the ACT and higher altitude parts of OZ could do with the heated seats at times..

Especially as SE Qld is in "The Sunshine State"

Well done, that's excellent that you got a bonus.

I live in the hills of Perth and let me tell you, in winter -2 to -5 is commonplace in the valley up here so they would be welcome here too.

When I went for my test drive back when the new i30 was first released, the Elite had heated seats.....

I live in the Scenic Rim and probably won't need the heated seats now, however I dislike the cold and we do get in the negatives here as well.

How do I reply to a particular post?

Hi Wendee - welcome aboard and congrats on your new car and unexpected bonus!

Like others, I'm curious - are the heated seats based on the usual Elite cloth seats, or are leather seats part of your surprise?

Either way, great score - enjoy!

Hey there Mr Pom (I'm married to a Pom) anyway I'll advise for sure once I pick up the i30 but the seats looked like cloth, they still had the plastic bags over them when I checked out the car yesterday.

Wendee... I presume you chose your pet Pom carefully.

I still say heated cloth seats are a bit OTT....

The brain is a bit fuzzy about the details but I think back then it was a limited offer but with the possibility of making it a permanent feature of the Elite.....

I pick up my elite on Tuesday, so I feel your excitement, mine too has heated seats. According to the dealership, it's only fitted in march-may built elite models, it's not advertised and costs no extra. Yes the seats are cloth, not leather.

Happy driving tomorrow
