    I'm not a petrol head, but I love my 161 Hyundai i30. For various reasons, I've had to put 20k kms on it since Feb and it's as tight on the road as the 1st day. Plenty of room and electric & media system very good. I've the 1.4 petrol an overtaking acceleration is OK, but it easily cruises on the motorway at 140 kph, (probably :) )

    You may not get scrappage when the new model comes. The new one does look to be a decent step forward though.

    I'd get the new model, the previous model will be least desireable at resale and you will have payed full whack for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,316 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    and you will have payed full whack for it.

    Except you get 5 grand off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭Donkeygonads


    There is €4,000 scrappage off the new model , earliest delivery is 1st week of Feb ish . The Deluxe model is now the standard version for the new model : Reverse camera, 5" touch screen plus the same spec from old deluxe. I don't believe there are any old model deluxe petrol models available....only diesels. The new petrol is a 1.0 litre - 120hp. Private message me if you want to place an order.

    That's good that they are doing scrappage on the new one.

    So 5 grand plus the scrappage or is no scrappage available on the new model? I'm confused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭Donkeygonads


    The €5,000 scrappage only applies to old model Diesel versions !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,316 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    What's the pricing like for the new model donkeygonads?

    1.0 Petrol in that size car sounds abysmal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,316 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    So about €1k price increase like for like?
    Not bad when you consider the patrol engine is more powerful now and you get more spec.
    Ditching the classic spec is a definite attempt to shake off the budget buyers.

    120bhp and lots of torque is much better than most 1.4 NA engines.

    120! really ??
    Is it turbo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭Donkeygonads


    Thats the way modern petrol engines are made .... they are all turbocharged ! A 1.0 micra from 15 years ago was about 60 hp .... this new 1.0 is 120hp .....same hp a 2.0 petrol made 10 years ago !

    I'd say it's fine. It's almost commonplace now for manufacturers to be putting smaller, blown motors into C and D segment cars.

    A VW 2.0 petrol maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭Donkeygonads


    Nissan petrol engines used in Juke, Pulsar and Qashqai 1.2 turbocharged - 115hp !

    If it's a Hyundai i30 you want, then buy one.

    But as someone who had racked up many many miles in i30's & i40's
    I would recommend against.

    Pure buckets of shiť.

    Clutch, gearbox, electrics, suspension, locking mechanism.

    And an ABS system that will scare the shiť out of you.

    Believe Everything You Hear


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭Donkeygonads


    The new i30 has a significant improvement in quality of fit and finish .... clunk factor when closing door etc More Germanicin its feel ....also a little more room in rear and boot.

    The new model does seem to be well speced and looks very attractive from the pictures I've seen.I suppose reliability and mechanical issues are an unknown quantity at this stage.
    I am also considering the Toyota Auris 1.3 Terra 19265 euro and Nissan Pulsar 1.2 17995 euro prices include scrappage.I don't know anyone who drives the Hyundai i30 so I appreciate the information and comments good and bad.

    If you're not planning on doing high mileage, and changing it in 3yrs, then you'll probably be fine with an i30.

    But it's not for me, I have serious concerns for it's reliability safety wise.

    Just remember, it takes years for car manufacturers to admit that there are faults.
    One example is opels/Vauxhalls catching fire

    Toyota Auris in Terra spec is depressing.

    OP did you look at the new Renault Megane? Even the base 1.2 litre Expression comes with cruise control. RRP is 19,490 and 130bhp. 5 year warranty too.

    Now retired,so high milage is unlikely.I would hold on to it for as long as possible,so reliability would be paramount


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,316 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    There is the argument that the 1.4 non turbo is around nearly 10 years and is proven to be reliable. The new engine is much more complex and unproven.
