Hyundai i30 SE CRDi

Description

If any car could be said to have built its brand, it's this one, Hyundai's i30. Here, we're looking at the second generation version.

The first generation was ahead of its time but even though it delivered class-leading standards of packaging, ride, handling - even interior quality - many Golf and Focus buyers still weren't quite ready to trade in their enamelled keyfobs and take the big driveway credibility step involved in owning one. Still, no matter. The Korean company resolved to reap the real rewards in this segment with this second generation i30 design, a model styled to look sharper, specced to be better equipped and engineered to be more efficient. 

To quote the RAC – “No other car in this class from this era is better at soothing away tarmac imperfections. Assuming you're not in a diesel model at start-up (where the engine can be a bit clattery) or cruising at high motorway speeds (where there's a bit of wind noise around the mirrors), it's also extremely quiet. There's a reason for that - or more accurately, four reasons: anti-vibration engine mounts, hollow driveshafts, re-profiled door handles and double-layered door seals. It's all about attention to detail you see.”

As soon as you get behind the wheel of this car you will see exactly where the RAC are coming from. Everything just feels right and when you factor in the great performance and economy (70.6 MPG extra urban) achieved by the desirable 1.6 diesel engine and the £35 per annum car tax you should have a big smile on your face!
