Default i30N Fastback

Spotted this in a neighbours yard.
As far as I am aware these have not been released or tested on Aussie soil yet.

A visitor I'm guessing as I've never seen a Hyundai in their yard before.

Do Korean diplomats get to take their personal cars with them?

Hatch is nicer.... fastback looks kinda bloated and frumpy.

Maybe a press car. I've seen photos of one in a showroom at Hyundai Australia's head office in Sydney (Macquarie Park I believe).

I agree. Tail looks too stumpy.

Sioso, if its a problem or annoying you, grab it at night time, stick in a container and I'll take it away from your viewing.

Smile Re: i30N Fastback

Isn't it sad that after watching a vid on the I30N I happened to stupidly watch a follow up vid on this great little car by Cadogen of all people .

BIG MISTAKE... He waxed lyrical , almost creaming his undies about the car and that has soured me for life on the I 30N .

I hate that sanctimonious git with a passion and he's contaminated my view of the amazingly capable I 30 N now...

I need to see someone to get over Cadogenitis ..

If I could ever afford it I'll be honour bound to buy a Focus ST or something now. ,

I avoid Cadogan like the plague. When I was watching all the YT reviews on the i30 N I avoided his video like the plague and I still haven't watched it, even though I now own one.

Everything is a death trap or rubbish according to John (except Hyundai’s) it seems.

Aren't all cars lemons these days? Engineered by accountants to maximise share holder dividends?

You can do a lot worse than drive a supposed simple old falcon.

Theres certainly some cool cars coming out of Hyundai/Kia at the moment for every budget.

The new Kia Picanto GT with 1l turbo, 74kw/172nm for under $19k driveaway.

The Kia Rio GT Line with the same 1l turbo and an improved 88kw for $22k driveaway, that tune would be good in the Picanto.

The Kia Cerato GT with 1.6l turbo, 150kw/265nm for $32k driveaway.

The Hyundai i30N in both hatch and fastback guise with 202kw/378nm(on overboost) for mid $40k.
A new Veloster is just around the corner too.

And of coarse the Kia Stinger GT 3.3l V6T, 272kw/510nm for mid $60k driveaway.

Certainly making the more 'established' brands work a little harder if nothing else which has got to be good for the consumer.
