The second generation of the Hyundai i30, which is a model of similar size to aRenault Megane or Volkswagen Golf , is available from € 13,590.Initially you can choose two body styles: five-door and wagon ("Crosswagon").There is also a three-door version is one of the cars of similar size with more space for occupants. Also satisfactory driving of course, for its smoothness and quietness of operation (even with diesel engines) for suspension comfort and quality feel that conveys both sight and touch. Overall, without addressing specific versions, the i30 seems preferable to Fiat Bravo and, perhaps, the Renault Megane and Citroen C4. Hyundai offers an extensive range of engines for this model (see table). So far we have thoroughly tested the version with the most powerful diesel engine available, 128 horses and six-speed automatic transmission (which works great). i30 with this combination of engine and gearbox has high fuel consumption and acceleration capacity is limited to the declared official power. A Renault Megane dCi 110, a Peugeot 308 HDi 112 and a SEAT Leon 1.6 TDI 105 hp are roughly as fast (as long as measurements own) despite the large difference in power with respect to Hyundai, and also spend significantly less fuel. i30 diesel engine with 128 horses (and manual gearbox) is on sale from 18 900 euros (with automatic transmission is 2100 euros more expensive). That is, it is cheaper than most cars of its power. Now it seems that the most fair is to compare cars that have a similar acceleration capacity rivals such as named in the preceding paragraph. So, if you look at this comparative record is that the i30 has a starting price slightly higher than them, but if it matches the equipment, the four left with a very similar final price. We were surprised how we have measured data of this i30 because the previous model of the same power(launched in 2010) was well positioned against the competition both as consumer benefit. Apart from this there are two more diesel engine less powerful and three petrol. The following table is a summary of all
