Hyundai i30

Saw this car on this week's Fifth Gear. Not bad looking at all, and significantly cheaper than the Focus TDCI. If Hyundai bring this in I think they have themselves quite a competitor.

2.0li CRDI
138hp, 304Nm

Looks good. Looks like a small veracruz up front, then the rear reminds me of the innova

Interesting... if they price it right, they'll have a seller here.

Good looking car, sana nga parating nila dito yan.

Personally I think its mechanical sibling, the Kia Cee'd, looks a little better (odd name aside). But the i30 is a looker also.

In Europe/UK, Kia's Cee'd and ProCee'd hatches are pitched as the somewhat sportier versions, while the i30s are marketed as a pseudo-luxury variant.

I like the looks better than the focus but I wonder if it handles as well? Personally though, I'm not so into hatches -- sedans and cuvs are more my thing.

Pwede!!! May laban ah..... Kaso CRDI na naman......Eh ang diesel dito sa atin eh.....Pang Public Utility Vehicles

Hindi ko talaga feel diesel..... Kaka-turn off....

Hindi ba maganda mga Gas Engine ng Hyundai?

I perfer the i30's looks over the Cee'd... I don't like the inward crease at the bottom of the door on that car. It looks like you've curbed it, even before you actually do!
