I just thought I would mention some improvements since moving from a current shape (2007) Honda Civic to the Hyundai i30 cw diesel.
- With the civic if you were going down hill slowly and went over a pothole (bad local streets around me) the ABS would kick in and shudder, very very annoying, but no false starts for the ABS in the i30.
- Cruise control doesn't surge at low speeds. There are a few 40kmh school zones on my way to work and it is hard not to speed. So I would set my cruise control at 45kmh as I cruise through the scool zone, that works on my diesel i30, but on the Civic it caused constant surging and very poor speed management.
- Better visibility, the civic had the worst A pillar layout in any car I have ever owned..
- Better fuel economy and maintained power when you turn the Air-con on, the civic you could feel the power loss as you turned the AC on (diesel I guess helps that?)
- I haven't scraped the underside of the front bumper once yet... LMAO
