The Hyundai i30 has plenty to compete against in the family hatchback class, with nearly every major manufacturer offers an alternative. In order to succeed, then, the i30 doesn’t just need to be good, but offer something to set it apart against a huge spread of competition. In my in-depth review, I assess its interior design, rear seat space, practicality, and what it’s like to drive. Should you avoid it, consider it, shortlist it or just go right ahead and buy it? Watch on to find out...

One thing I like about Hyundai is that they keep some physichal buttons for the functions you use all the time, like the climate control. I don't understand why every car manufacturer keep adding all the functions to touch screens, where you have to go through menues to find what you're looking for. And don't get me started on those sliding touch-volume controls in new Hondas and Toyotas, must be a pain to use compared to a normal volume switch!

is not copying...you know what copying means? to make things the same as the other. If they get inspired by others, that's not bad, everyone does that. For example, the display-tablet-like from top of the dash...almost every car company use that, so you could say they copied that?! If you want a car that is completely different from other cars from other manufactures, then maybe you should buy a Ferrari.

Hyundai do not essentially copy. They adopts the aesthetics and design of european cars and they adopts reliability of japanese car engine/gearbox. Hyundai has their own innovations in automobile industry. They makes good cars for mass.

while Japan try so hard to make their car looks as 'bold' as they can (like Toyota CHR, Honda Civic Type R, Nissan Maxima, the new 'sporty' Toyota Camry, and of course every Lexus), it's nice to see South Korea do their best to design their car as minimalist as they can, except for Hyundai Kona. Remember this is the country that made Ssangyong Rodius back in 2004.

I used to work at Hyundai, and I'm a always over there since I have a relative working at the dealer. The Elantra GT's aren't selling as fast as I thought. They got 3 of them sitting at the lot and they been sitting there for 2 months. Currently has 3 kinds...super cheap, semi loaded, and fully loaded (tech pkg) with 3 different transmissions (regular auto, dual clutch, and manual), and 2 engine options (turbo and non turbo). Very nice cars. My fav of course is the fully loaded Dark Grey/Black interior - tech package/turbo and dual clutch, pano roof, cooled seats, bigger screen.

After all the comments about not being as good as a Golf, keep this in mind. A comparable Golf to this Premium version, with adaptive cruise, active lane assist and full autonomous emergency braking, smart phone mirroring, etc, would be thousands more. You're also left without warranty after 3 years with any of its European competitors. Hyundai gives a rats about how you think it compares to a Golf. Their eyes are on the Japanese brands, a would not even consider a Coralla, Lancer or Civic over this. That's why Hyundai are quickly heading towards being the world's largest manufacturer. Before you say I'm a Hyundai troll, I actually drive a 2011 Golf 118tsi Highline and I preferred it after test driving an SR Premium i30. However my rental a few days after was a Mitsubishi ASX topspec, which was nowhere near the i30.
