    How is an i30 a $45k car? They are lovely but at $38k they were a bit rich.

        That's still an i30. You're just talking about a higher trim of the car.

        The only differentiation that is worth making is if it was the i30N Performance.

          Wouldn't that still just be an i30 but with a bigger engine?

          • DevlicK on 10/07/2025 - 14:46

            @topherboi: Yes and that's why I said it is the only differentiation worth making - because the N is the performance model of the i30. I wasn't claiming that it wasn't an i30.

            The differentiation in your original post is similar to saying "It's not a Mercedes C200, it's a Mercedes C300".

            • topherboi on 10/07/2025 - 14:57

              I disagree. I think the maxwellian was intentionally trying to discredit the deal with their comment, which was likening it to a base model i30.

              If the differentiation of the i30 N model is worth mentioning, then the differences between the base and the N Line Premium models should also contain merit.

              • DevlicK on 10/07/2025 - 15:02

          It’s much more than just higher trim. Engine is different plus has independent rear suspension, panoramic sunroof etc.

          • DevlicK on 10/07/2025 - 15:12

            @tevtin: I guess but my point was that even with the different engine and sunroof etc it was still just a higher trim of the i30. As opposed to the N Performance which was designed for track performance.

            Like the Mazda3s have different trims that offer different engines (e.g. 1.6L in base trim vs 2L in the higher trims). I'd still call it a Mazda3 and wouldn't bother differentiating unless it was an Mazda3 MPS.

            But I take @topherboi's point about responding to Maxwellian trying to discredit the deal.

            @ONEMariachi: Both 2013. I maintain and repair both. The Hyundai has had numerous small things fixed the toyota has had one ignition coil go and seized bolts in the lower control arm. Both cars are around 250k now. No major defects with either thankfully. I just feel the design of toyotas mechanical components seem better made, more metal than plastic or thicker parts.

        I have owned Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Subaru and Hyundai (i30). All in all, I'd say the Hyundai gave me the least issues, though it had its faults. The notion that Japanese cars are somehow flawness is certainly not my experience (we spent $4k on servicing a 7-year-old low KM Subaru, and that didn't include the parts thrown in for free outside of warranty because of a failure that ought not to have happened).

        Our most recent purchase was a BYD.

                      It also has no single or cab chassis option, only one trim, etc.

                      Toyota's way behind in their offerings and once people stop perpetuating the self fulfilling prophecy of "but Toyota has better resale value" the company is going to be in a lot of trouble.

            While Alphards etc certainly have a cult following, resale on any grey import (and other costs like insurance/repairs) is never going to make for a good financial decision.

    • SanguinarySeraph on 10/07/2025 - 13:44

      The big issue I’ve noticed with Hyundai/Kia is the spec segmentation.

      Base models aren’t terribly priced given the current market, but they’re missing a lot of pretty basic (and incredibly cheap to implement) features.
      Step up to the higher trims to get said extra creature comforts and they get very expensive very quickly.

      Eg a base EV5 slightly undercuts Tesla and other rivals, but has had a lot stripped out, top spec is almost the price of a BMW iX3.

    • onlinepred on 10/07/2025 - 13:56

      That thing chews petrol like nothing else though, the 2.5 is horrendous for city driving. The 3 hatch also has a bad rear design, in that the rear quarter panel is huge, means the rear window doesn't go all the way down, rear occupants feel claustrophobic, rear speaker placement is behind the rear occupants heads which is bad, it has less usable boot space on the floor than the i30, and rear leg space is somehow less. Also it doesn't even have a touch screen. Otherwise I do agree with the current spec i30 n line.

          Mitsubishi offers 10 years warranty while Hyundai offers a standard 5-year warranty. Also no fire gate issues with Mitsubishi or Renault.

          My sibling in US has a 2018 Sante Fe which had engine stalling and excessive oil burning issues.
          Even under standard 5 year warranty, Hyundai dragged its feet and installed a new reconditioned engine only after haggling for almost 3 years and repeated request from the dealer.

          In the meantime he had to top up engine oil with every fuel refill like the good old two stroke engines !

            @utsc: US is a different story to Australia. Just look at Toyotas in the US.
