Hi All, My name is Brett from Sydney and I am currently waiting for my new i30CW SX CRDI which was ordered on 4 May 2011. I ordered it with Drving Lights and Cruise Control and Alloys. The original expected delivery date was end of June 2011. Just found out from my leasing provider that the date has blown out till early August 2011... Talk about making me suffer.....ahhhhh... :wacko: but cant wait to get my hands on it...Great site lots of helpful information...Cheers Bretto.

Conrats Bretto.. sorry to hear about the wait (but worth waiting for)  :goodjob:

Same as the wife's car (TrishCW on here) but with the diesel motor (great choice)  :mrgreen:

Assume it's a manual in which case you will most likely get a 6 speed box and slightly uprated motor  :winker:

We had a Diesel Hatch for two and a half years before trading it on a Hybrid Camry  :-[

Diesel apparently handles the 4 speed auto better than the Petrol 2.0 does.. There is a small possibility that you might get an uprated Auto Box.. fingers crossed ( :idea: wonder if Reecho would know ??)

Welcome Brett. I recently had to wait 1 day short of 4 months for my SR. Upgraded transmissions seem long overdue, so here's hoping for your sake.

 :whistler: :whistler: :whistler: Oh well just heard from the leasing company and low and behold the ship didn't arrive on 13 July 2011 nor did the car lol. Suttons Hyundai have now said it could arrive this week (Maybe) and pending any further delays I may have it by 2 August 2011. Well I am not holding my breath... I feel like a little kid who missed Santa a number of times in the last few months...lol.... :whistler: Will let you know the next update on the delivery date....enjoying Reading everyone else getting their new car lol...This is a great forum... :D

Eventually you still not get it ! :faint:
Does it has some special specifications taking such a long time ?
What about ask the dealer for some compensation, like free maintenance coupon...etc.
