    I like those I30's, I was looking at them a little while ago when we were thinking about up grading the carolla but Mrs Mc is still loveing the Rolla so no I30 for me as Im not getting rid of Casper
    As this is a Landrover forum I'll hold back on talking about the I30, except to say that I am very very happy with it.

    Came close to get one of them, but it was a little on the small side, i had problems fitting in.

    My first diesel car was a Mazda 323 1.7 ltr, back then $17.00 to fill and it lasted a month.
    fitted a super charger and pump from a Mazda 626 2 ltr. That lasted a month. I had never before or since seen a head with so many cracks. LOL. and I was concerned with the life of the I30, I don’t really want to be one of the first. It could turn out to me like my Ford Ranger 30ltr turbo auto, no end of problems.

    I'm 6 foot and have to slide the seat forward so height's not an issue.

    Check out the new car build quality ratings coming from the US. Hyundai now comes 3rd, only bettered by Porsche and Lexus. They (the Koreans) have done in 5 years what it took the Japs 15 years to achieve in terms of quality improvements.

    Anyways the 5 year warranty will offer a good window period.

    I have a friend who recently bought a Hyundai Terracan ( I think that's how you spell it ) and he speak quite hightly of it , he's mainly bought it for towing , but also it's affordability, economy wise Huyndai claims 10.1 L/100 kms , but achieved 7.29L/km in a mix of city and rural driving.

    like you said the Korean auto makers vehicle quality has come a long way.

    Ok didn’t know that, but then I didn’t look.

    As for fitting, its my shoulders, to wide, even in the county I am up against the B pillar. I get a pain in my lower back if I drive a car when I am on a slight lean LOL

    When I was researching what to buy to get back into offroading after some years out of it, one of the vehicles I came to rate highly - in terms of value for money - was the Terracan. But then I was 'seduced' by the idea of getting a good Landrover Discovery 300 TDi, and say no more...
