Hi
just got my 2010 i30 Edition yesterday and really loving it. Got the car after a bit of a unhappy
11 months with an i20 Style. The main fault was a sticky throttle which the dealer or Hyundai could
not fix

But as they say, all's well that ends well

Struck a deal with the dealer and they let me
have the demo car for a very good price. Only done 1,600 miles, which saves me being extra carefull for
the first 1,000 miles.
I'll send some pics in the next week or so.

Nice one Chris

Welcome to the club

Your new motor will soon make the memories of the i20 fade away

Welcome chris, Sticky throttle eh.. sounds a bit dangerous

(sure it weasn't a Toyota!)

chris48 · **Reply #9: May 27, 2010, 22:37:00**

Thanks for all your welcomes. Been polishing the car today,wow what some paint work.
Dazzler, yea it was more jerky than sticky but not nice at all. The wife who is learning to
drive refused to drive it in the end, and had a go at the dealer, which wasn't their fault.
Apparently it was the tec. dept at Hyundai India not answering any texts from Hyundai
UK.Well thats their story. My two sons (7 &9 ) have come up with a name for the car,
"Bertie the i30", don't know if it suits it or not.

hipposniper. Like your name, it's the wifes name, so I better be carefull what I say. No I always like to name my cars with a male names, not being sexist of cause, but they (nearly) always seem to behave themselfs with a male name. LOL
Thanks Andy. My first choose was white but this car came along and I'm loving it.
