Any comparison's between the new Tourer and the i30 CW Trophy? I see the back folds down flat in the Tourer, which it doesn't in my Trophy - that, for me, is a big plus. But, what else? Is it bigger all around? I haven't seen one around to have a good look yet.
My wife has an FD CW which has been dressed up as per my signature picture. I checked out the new Tourer the other day and the new styling inside and out looks more modern and stylish and the new GD model is supposed to be a bit quieter.
The one we get in Australia is from the European factory, so if you opt for the Petrol it is only a 1.6 which will be more economical but not quite as Zippy.
I reckon the new styling actually makes it look smaller from the outside but without looking up the specs I believe there is a bit more capacity in the boot with the seats up and with the seats down.
Like you say the seats folding flat is a plus and should have been like that in the previous model as per the FD hatch.
The Drivers seat seemed a bit more comfy to me too.
