Welcome Simple. I have a petrol auto and I'd say its quite zippy (I'm still under 1000km's so I'm trying not to over do it) ... my brother gave it a spin and also said he was surprised at how responsive the i30 is when comparing it with his Falcon..

got my father to drive it today, he was relatively impressed actually and said it had plenty of power.
i dragged my father along for this, and got him to try it as well (i trust his driving opinion) he liked it overall but a couple of things niggled him and was very surprised it was a 2.0 - he thought it was smaller after the drive. i think he expected a bit more from it.
This is interesting Tracey... Initially he thought the test i30 Petrol Auto was underpowered (smaller than he thought, expected more from it) now he thinks yours has plenty of power ???Is yours turbo charged or something?What changed his mind?
the original test drive was also a 60k zone only, while yesterday my dad took it out along the 100k highway which he hadn't had a chance to do before. i guess the other big difference is the SX was brand spanking new, we were first drivers while the SR now has over 500 k's under its belt.
