Hi there, BarryD here.  I recently bought a used i30 estate and am really enjoying the car.  I swapped a gas guzzling Santa Fe for it and the best part is only filling up once a fortnight Hurrah.   The worst bit is how unresponsive the engine / drivetrain is below 1500 rpm (to be expected) but I love the surge when the turbo comes in - makes me chuckle every time...

My i30 is a Premium spec so it's got lots of toys to keep me busy during my commute.

Catch you on-line.   :D

Welcome aboard BarryD  :goodjob:

I'm guessing Heidi's pupils would probably prefer your i30 to that Suzuki   :winker:

Welcome Barry, the Premium does have lots of bells and whistles doesn't it? :D

Such a friendly welcome :) Thanks.

And yes Shambles, Heidi prefers the servicing standard and model range from Hyundai over her Swift.  An i10 is probably on the cards for September of this year... but her pupils like the way she's marked up the Swift :)

Besides, i30 is a swift way to get their driving licences :lol:
