As for some of the things mjt57 wrote:

6. No rear power outlet - the CW has it, and I agree, they should have installed it in the hatch too. Though I don't use it.
I forgot to mention this. I'd love to have a power outlet in the back and one that's permanently connected. And I wish the two outlets in the console were also permanently connected, so I can charge things like GPSes when they're stored away.

Welcome to the forum Behmard.
Glad you found us.
Can you please elaborate about the noise?
What model variant do you have and where are you located?

I'll take particular note when I'm next out and about to see whether I have any noises that come from my rear end.  :undecided:

What I thought was a vibration noise in my glovebox, seemed to move to the mirror,,, then the dash... until my son pointed out to me that it was my sunglasses rattling in the overhead holder.

Of course I tried to make out that I knew that...

My other little gripes are mentioned in another section... under Suggested Improvements Tweeks.

Lmao at the quote though. Exactly what happened to me except I got the other half to ask the dealership what on earth the rattle was. Took them the entire service to figure out it was my sunnies   :-[

Well I'll be buggered.

With a wife, two daughters and two grand daughters I thought I knew all about girls' things.

But apparently not.

These are kind of pathetic quibbles, but here goes:
* the stereo is extremely bass-heavy. I had to turn the bass below zero for most music.
* doors are still locked when my passengers try to get out. Always annoying.
* no coin holder. Most cars from 20 years ago have a felt-lined coin box or tray.
* the alarm goes off if the keyhole is used for unlocking the car (instead of using remote). This is more of a "I don't understand" than a "I don't like".
* when removing the floor of the trunk (boot), the board always gets grabbed by the flap on the rear DC outlet. Silly design.

That was actually really hard to think of.

You know what I sound like? Some cranky old fart who doesn't like his new-fangled buzz box because it's not big, thirsty and stinky like his old VH Valiant Ranger. To telly you the honest truth, I love my i30 and I have no legit complaints. She's great.

Glad you're basically happy with your car. We can always find something that could be improved. Funny, but some people ditch the car speakers & complain, "not enough bass" & fit booster amps too. I've been quite happy with the sound performance myself. Apart from your last dislike, all the others I can live with and in some cases prefer.  :goodjob2:

My wife says that about the Bass, too. Doesn't worry me and I'm happy with the sound (but I am a bit deaf).
Don't have aproblem with the door lock thing. To me it's a safety factor and the passenger soon learns to just flick the lever on the door.
Coins are so passe. No need for tolls (e-tag) any more and I refuse to use parking meters.
The alarm is another safety feature.
What's a DC outlet? My boot floor doesn't catch on anything.

But I take your point. You have to try hard to find issues.  :goodjob:

Been meaning to put my 2 bob's worth in....:

 For sure ..the door lock thing is so annoying..( when your "empty nesters', the safety aspect is less of an issue).
Also, the side window 'scrubbers" do not grip the glass tight enough and thus a wet window  or one with condensation cant be wiped clean, thus visability, in foggy or wet situation is compromised right from the start.
Lastly, lack of camber adjustment on the front ( and rear).. but that can be overcome with a front camber kit, and they work well, speaking from experience, saves heaps on tyres..

 But all in all, we are happy campers... :happydance:

I keep my coins in the ashtray. Downside is that I can't work out how to remove it as some coins are stuck in there...

They're handy for Maccas drive through or if I go around to the shop to get milk or something.
