The HYUNDAI I30 (2012-15) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 100 EU5 EDITION 6SPD is a straightforward five-door family hatchback, sitting in the popular used-car class alongside the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Kia cee’d. Its 1.4-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual make it a sensible all-rounder rather than a performance choice, with easy everyday driving and useful passenger and boot space. It suits commuters, couples and small families wanting a practical car for town trips and longer journeys, while its manageable size can also appeal to newer drivers. The Edition trim gives this i30 a useful, uncomplicated feel; Hyundai’s reputation for value and a reassuring ownership proposition helped it compete strongly with established European rivals.
