The I30 was well built but slow as f*ck. It wasn't as fun as the 500 even which was slower than a slow thing.
What engine was in the i30 out of interest as we have the 1.6diesel 110ps things at work. Also mk1 or mk2 (god I'm becoming an i30 geek)
Same engine as in my Kia and I'm positive they have a bed in map. Mine was shit slow when i first got it and one day i turned it on and it was like a different car.
Oh and they are 126PS
We definitely only have the 113bhp/115ps versions (well the mk1s that I prefer are all 113bhp cars) However with 11.1 seconds to 60mph, spooly little VNT turbo, 6 speed box and 117mph top speeds (although apparently will go faster) they aint bad round town . They actually aren't far off the Skoda VRS we have. As for the new hyundai i30s they are 108bhp or 126bhp and I'd bet we have the 108 cars.
Still could be worse, all the local counties are using 1.2 CDTi astras that hardly move.
