Needless to say, Hyundai’s been offering pretty good options for the past few years, keeping the prices low.
The i30 was no exception, it was a budget car with a well-balanced package included.

Compared to the older generations of the i30, the 2018 model came with redesigned lines, somehow positioning the compact into the elegant category.

Even if the i30 was a small compact, there was more than enough leg room and head room for the passengers in the rear, with the exception of the middle seat that was suitable for a child only.

The trunk space was no disappointment with its 395L – a good matchf for a family with 1 child would have no problems to go on a holiday with the i30. The downside would be the access to the load area, a bit uneasy due to the way it was positioned. The trunk was also equipped with a 12V socket.

For a budget car, the i30 was pretty well equipped, the top version including lane assist, autonomous braking, a heated steering-wheel, a rear-view camera and the best part, an 7-speed automatic transmission.
The front seats offered a good driving position and a healthier one, having a lumbar support.

What seemed surprising, the i30 had a silent engine and the noises outside could hardly be heard inside the vehicle.

It is interesting how Hyundai increased the quality of their materials and noticeably paid more and more attention to the details over the years, still managing to offer their vehicles at a relatively low price.

If you can bear with the small downsides and take into consideration the 5-year ulimited mileage warranty, the i30 sounds like a perfect choice.
