shiny new toy

Finally, after days of looking we found a car that will suit us. The Hyundai i30 Sports Wagon. we looked at various makes and models and none of them were good value for our money or they had some fault that displeased us in some way. None of them grabbed us as something we would want to drive for the next 3 – 5 years. We liked the i30 from the start. We test drove it and made sure it was comfortable. The suspension has been built for australian conditons and it makes for a nice ride.

The i30 is nice! It has a sporty look and leather seats. It’s nicely finished. Comes with climate control, cruise control, trip computer, nice wheels and excellent safety features. It is ipod ready so I can play my ipod.

There’s enough room for the dogs in the back and the cats in their baskets on the back seat. We got a liner for the back so the dogs wouldn’t mess the car too much.

The colour is the same as in the photo and I asked for the slim number plate to match the blue, also same as in the picture. It will be ready next week after all the options are fitted. The windows will be tinted, the leather seats and outer paint treated and the rustproofing installed.
