yes 5 years unlimited mileage/km warranty. The car has been pre-registered with the dealership with a pretty good discount- probably around 25% off the original list price.
it was only registered in June this year and only 10 miles on the clock. so pretty much all the warranty is still remaining. Do you know if this model is fairly reliable with not too many niggles/ obvious problems? Many thanks
Well..I have just driven about 60 miles from the dealership. Drive very nice and apart from a piece of trim between the dash and window needing to be put in place, the car drives and looks great One issue to note so far: the speedometer is reading about 10% higher than the actual speed. Has anyone else had a similar problem and is there a 'fix'?
Thanks Dazzler. That's interesting as my previous i30 was pretty much spot-on. My wife's Kia Picanto is similarly inaccurate to my new i30.
Try to keep rpms under 4000 when accelerating through gears - don't tow anything and don't sit on constant speeds for long periods for the first 1500km/930miles.
Thanks for these responses/reassurances. In terms of 'sitting' at constant speeds, there have been a few times when I have been 'sitting' at a constant speed on the motorway and using cruise control, although of course being the UK, it would have been no more than 10-15 minutes at a time max before traffic holdups etc...presumably that should have been ok?
