Well-Engineered Car With Oblivious Sales Consultant `
|
|
Went down to Komoco to see the i30, however only the station wagon was left, and the next indent is a 2-month wait. Test drove the station wagon as according to the sales consultant, it is the exact same. Boy was he dead wrong. The wagon felt dead, the 1.0T struggles to get it off the line and is stiffer to manoeuvre. The engine while it can save fuel like VW's 1.0 TSi Engine, but it struggles alot with acceleration. If I were to buy the car, I would immediately void Hyundai's warranty on the engine and gearbox to give the engine more power. The DCT in comparison to a SEAT Leon's is lethargic, a re-tune of the TCU for the gearbox is also needed.
Asked him a series of questions in regard to the car, he isn't well-informative and does not know head or tail about the car.
Asked him if there's wireless charging, according to him no. During the test drive, places his phone down, and the phone started charging wirelessly on the charging pad.
Asked him about the safety features while looking at the brochure, he says there's no Front Collision Assist, whereas the brochure stated that it comes as standard.
Asked him if the rear suspension was still independent, he said no, which was correct, but said the front and rear is both torsion beam. (What the bloody hell?). It sure doesn't handle like a car with a solid front axle.
So my final verdict is, if you were to buy this car, be sure to opt for an ECU & TCU tune if you are looking for more power to overtake cars in Msia when the borders eventually reopen, also looking to save fuel as ECU Tunes do improve FC by a small, but noticeable amount. (1-2 km/l improvement because of lighter throttle input).

Excellent value hatchback `
|
|
In all honesty, the i30 was not my first choice when I was looking for a replacement for my 7-year old Golf Mk7.
After going through a myriad of options and test driving various cars, I just couldn't find something similar in terms of drive and feel. Going nowhere, I decided to streamline what I wanted to spend and used the advanced search function on sgCarMart to view the options.
Decided to go down and try the i30 and made my decision on the spot; Primarily due to its low price, impressive list of features and a positive test drive experience. After a month and 1,500km with this car, here's what I like and dislike about my car.

Good looking Station wagon `
|
|
Good looking car, especially with the i30SW. With sunroof, Roof Rack, 4 Speed AT gearbox, Spacious Baggage compartment , colour coordinated leather seats, and numerous small storage space for small items and a 2 bottle holder makes it a perfect car for me.
I bought a 10 years old model, I have been looking for a i30 SW for a long time, and finally i found it.
Paid 5 years COE, changed new suspension, tires,brake pads,new paintwork, radiator, spark plugs, cam sensor and wipers.
Having owned a Tucson before, and knowing Komoco"S after sales service, I decided to have my car refurbished at a reputable workshop at SIn Min. Petrol consumption is lower than advertised and power is a bit lacking when over taking. Step down not so effective. Biggest letdown is the soundless remote car door lock.
