@@phhuynh9881 don't have it anymore I gave to my mum as ft a new car. But yes ways reliable never have 1 problem with it that was outside of the normal brake pads needed etc. I never done any of that stuff myself, just mechanics.

I bought mine a few months ago, and coming from a dying Peugeot 206 this is a HUGE upgrade. It's comfortable, spacious, and actually feels preety luxurious on the inside. For anyone looking at one of these (mine is a 1.6 crdi model), make sure to check these things, since these things have cropped up for me: 1. Rev the engine at idle (at least 2000rpm) and listen for a whistling sound. If you hear the turbo whistling, that MIGHT mean that the turbo is on its way out. Mine has been whistling from the day I bought it, no telling whether the turbo will be fine for years, or if it will go out tommorow (I don't have any signs of turbo failure other than whistling, so I choose not to worry about it). 2. DO KNOW that the car does have a DPF, so make sure to take it on a motorway once a fortnight so it could regenerate. If you don't do that, you're going to have to regenerate the DPF at a shop, or, even worse, replace it entirely, and that costs A LOT. 3. Again, rev the engine at idle. Listen for a distinctive ticking sound. Now, I don't know exactly what it might be in my case, but I have a feeling it's the timing chain, since the noise is present even when the fan belt is removed. My mechanic told me to just ignore it, but it's still eerie to drive around and hear it at around 1500rpm, it's better to avoid a situation like this if you can. 4. Check for rust at the sills and wheel arches. My car had some, and I had to repair it ( i didn't mind it, since I got it for half the price). That's all that I've noticed so far. The car has been bulletproof otherwise (knock on wood), I've already covered around 3000km with it and am very happy with my purchase. :)

Went from this Hyundai to a 2020 VW Polo and the difference is huge there too. Smooth gear shifts, silent engine, premium cabin with sharp digital display with support for android auto and apple carplay. This Polo is easily the best car I've ever driven. Next purchase in 10 years will probably be an SUV like VW T-Roc.

My i30 is 7 years old in September and its a great little car. Not had any major issues with it, only general wear and tear bits needing replacing. Its nicer to drive than my dads 15 plate focus too. I find it grips better in the corners. I’ve also had an Astra (11 plate) which was a great car, but my i30 is nicer to drive. I’d 100% have another i30, no questions asked.

What do you think, which one is better, Hyundai i30 or Kia Ceed?

the car is really good, I personally had a short trip in it. Have to say that the interiors are really comfortable in the back as well. Car is silent and the price is really good. But on the same token the look is not appealing at all. If Kia does a facelift I'd be a lot more populat.

Ca any body tell me why are there two versions of front design ? thanks

more expensive cars don't even have air-conditioned gloveboxes. Nice thinking Hyundai.

The facelift improves the look of this car, it now look very modern & no longer looks cheap.

Up to recently, Skoda has had abysmal styling in my opinion. Both inside and out.

I like the test, but why does he compare it to five or more different cars? That doesn't make sense to me. There is always better car for specific use. Like Mercedes is more powerful, more quiet etc. Don't tell me Astra, Focus and others are same price as this in UK. In Czech Rep, each of them is at least 2-3000 pounds more expensive then Hyundai with similar configuration...
