Hyundai i30 (Elantra GT) review - better than a VW Golf?

Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
This is the new Hyundai i30!
Now the i30 may have been seen as a budget option compared to the likes of the VW Golf and Ford Focus, but with updated looks both inside and out, coupled with new engine choices, could the latest generation change that?
In terms of engines, all versions are mild hybrid, with the range topper being a 1.5-litre 4 cylinder turbo petrol which can put down 160hp and hit 0 - 60mph in under 9 seconds.
Ok, so the stats aren’t incredible. But let’s not forget that with a carwow saving, you can pick up a new i30 for under £20,000! With that in mind, if you’re in the market for a new hatchback, should you start considering the i30? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

    I think Matt hasnt considered the price. Yes its only average compared to its rivals but you can get the top spec version for less money than lowest spec Golf. And if you compare similar spec you can get it like 20% cheaper. Suddenly its a great value for money.

    It is definitely a great car. No question about it. You cannot just say "aaaaa" when you get so many things at that price. In Greece at this moment it costs 19000 euros for the 1.0T 120ps premium version, and you can get a VW golf with the same features with at least 25000. If you want to pay for the logo do it.

    Seen one and sit on one years ago in a Motorshow. I loved the interior, but also 395 liters of charge capacity on the trunk is the same as a Seat Arona (a SUV) so that is brutally good. And the octavia is on a bigger segment of cars so you should not even compare it. But man even being an average car still looks brilliantly beautiful, and now they have micro hybridation which helps a lot on city restrictions. Brilliant car I'd say.

The VWs (be it seat golf, skoda golf or vw golf) have among the worst petrol engines I've ever driven. I work in a car logistics company and I've driven every single seat of it's lineup (past and current) and drove a few golf and polos as well as T-Rocs that sometimes came by. The diesel engines... meh, I don't really care about them, but at the very least, I can say they are very good. The petrol engines though? Horseshit... a car with 90-100 horsepower that handles and accelerates like it has 60-70... Gear level also pretty mediocre. Drove all hyundais so far as well, even the i30N. The i20 had very good engines but yes... It was pretty cheaply and not that decently looking. By the way, what's a scala?

Now it's seems like any another car who have that lights in the rear bumper. And if you want a flat floor, you have to lift the bench first and then fold the back seats. I don't know why always every car tester forget that thing! That mechanism exist from years Hyundai's at the very funcional for a daily use. Look all that storage places in the interior and in the trunk ! And they always have better numbers in comfiability. I think is a very very good buy

Then the facelift came to make those headlights even more like the Focus. Less delusions please. The i30 has always followed the Focus design language, and this current generation looks more like it than ever.

    I don't understand this obsession with the wobbly center console. Have you considered the fact that it's intended like that to make it less prone to rattles over time? And his car's interior quality is similar to the last gen i30 and hence perfectly comparable to the Focus, I've driven both. I don't know why some of you Hyundai fannies pretend like the interior is better than it is. Be objective.

    I got this car in November, unfortunately in my country the highest trim level is "Highway" which comes with halogen headlights, the old infotainment and no digital driver's display. However I have it with the 1.5L Turbo. That being said, this is probably the best value for money car out there, for 17.2k euros that I paid for it, it offers more than a Ford Focus, VW Golf or Skoda Octavia to the point that my only regret is that I didn't get the automatic gearbox and that there isn't a higher trim level here cuz I would've gone for the Executive spec which is the highest spec with all the kit at 20k euros. My only complaint with the car is the manual gearbox, like Matt said, it's really weird with the bite point on the clutch, however you get used to it after a while and it's an amazing car.
