How many i30 seen in one day

i30Bob · **February 07, 2011, 14:42:26**

Up untill to day it was 6, pulled in to my parking space and look down the line and seen that the car rental company below us had just receive 16 i30 in a silver gray and blak

Any advance on 16

They are very popular in Tassie (probably not as popular as in WA but close) on some recent long trips (300kms to Hobart) I reckon I would have come close to that number.. I'll have to try and remember to count them next long trip! I won't count the ones in the rental yards along the way

Last week we travelled from The Midlands UK to Devon and back - mainly on the M5 motorway.

Not being in a hurry, I set the cruise control to just 55 mph to see how low I could get the fuel consumption. Hence hundreds - if not thousands - of cars overtook me during the 7 hours we travelled there and back.

I recall seeing only three i30's.

Brimming the tank upon our return yielded a (1.6 manual diesel) fuel consumption of 53.4 mpg. The computer claimed 55.1 mpg.

Had a good i30 spotting day today.
Came out of the surf and there was an i30 Hatch parked at the other end of the 30 spot car park with only 7 cars there including mine. Before I left, another one, a CW pulled in and parked. Saw 2 more Hatches on the way home. That's 4 and it's only 7.30 am.
Went out this afternoon and parked in the shopping centre car park and when we came back to the car there was a nice blue CW parked immediately behind ours. Drove across to Dan Murphy's and pulled in to a spot only to find I was beside a NSW reg white hatch with surfboard on the roof racks. so, 6.
On the way back home, saw 4 more (2 hatches + 2 CWs) on the road and one hatch on a car carrier.
Total of 11.
I didn't count the ones in the Hyundai dealer's yard we past in both directions.

I can see 3 or 4 i30's just travelling the three miles to work, will do a full count next time I do a long trip, they are very popular with us thrifty Aberdeen residents!

PS I think that overlooking a rental company is cheating!! There is a bodyshop just up the road from my work which uses i10's, they have dozens of them!

PS I think that overlooking a rental company is cheating!! Which is why I didn't count the ones in the dealership yard/ showroom There is a bodyshop just up the road from my work which uses i10's, they have dozens of them!

The rental company below usually only has ford's & vauxhall's which is why I wouldn't class it as cheating. I would if thay always used i30, by the time I left work they where all gone and a good chance that it could be another 3 to 9 months before I see another one in the car park since the rental firm is a national company.

Yep.. We've done it several times but usually do it over three days and take lots of detours.. ends up a bit over 1000 km all up..

I've been looking for i30-s since January (ordered mine on the 6th, unfortunately I still don't have it...), but they seem extremely rare in Budapest. I've seen 7 or 8 cars and two of those were test vehicles with Hyundai stickers/logos on it.
Better for me, at least I'll have some individuality

one hatch on a car carrier.

i saw a car carrier full of them about a month ago!!! i lol'ed hard... and waved at the truckie

made me think tho... they must be a tad more popular than i thought considering they were the only cars on the car carrier...

snowcherry · **Reply #19: February 16, 2011, 07:28:09**

can't say i've ever technically counted but i could probably say easily a dozen

on monday i was coming out from bunnings and stopped a wee bit confused for a moment wondering why my car was a car space closer to me than i had left it (looking at the cars side on), then realised the white i30 had black handles. yes they had parked right next to me. they had a cleaner car to - shame

Dazzler · **Reply #20: March 13, 2011, 08:34:22**

Went to Launceston today (200kms return) and saw a dozen i30 (all hatches) 3 x Vivid Blue, 3 X White, 3 x Red, 1 x Hyper Silver, 1 x Silver and 1 x Steel Grey (The discontinued darker grey metallic)

Strange not to see any Wagons (CW) as last time we did a decent trip saw approx a dozen i30's and at least 4 were CW's!

Surferdude · **Reply #21: March 14, 2011, 11:27:41**

At one stage today on the way home there were three of us together. A blue CW, a steel grey hatch, and me.
One behind the other.

turbogo · **Reply #22: March 16, 2011, 20:11:32**

0 on a day to day, in the last 3 months I have only seen 1 i30 on the road. Not many in Wrexham North East Wales, hopefully I will change that soon.

Ugly Mongrel · **Reply #23: March 18, 2011, 06:31:55**

Seven on the way to work and four on the way home today in Brisbane. Plus mine of course (the best looking one!!!) Most I've seen for ages.

About four CWs from memory, Dazzler. White was by far the most popular colour.

Some days I see quite a few CW's and others none at all :-\

There are 4 (including mine) "living" around my block.
I encounter with many on my 11km way to work. All hatchbacks.

eye30 · **Reply #28: March 22, 2011, 18:40:20**

There are 3 on the estate and I've left flyer but no takes yet.

I saw an incredible 16 on the way home last Friday on a drive of about 40k through Brisbane from north to south.

The Qld government, the Brisbane City Council and a large pathology collection company have the i30s as fleet cars, so there are plenty about. Although only about 5 of the ones I saw were fleet cars.
