Usual story, just joined. Purchased privately a used (10,000k) 1.6 CRDi 5dr auto, not picking it up for another week, Currently have a 2003 Golf R32 so it's a bit of a change performance wise.

I was looking at getting a 2006 Golf GTI which was chipped then started to think what other cars I could get for less money. So looked around and thought of the i30. Went to a dealer and test drove one. Thought it drove well so here we are.

Welcome Stuart from another Island in the southern ocean... The diesels drive so well you shouldn't be too disappointed with your performance drop ...
