2014 Hyundai i30 GD 1.8 Elite A6

2014 HYUNDAI i30 GD 1.8 ELITE - THE LITTLE HATCH THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE!
Looking for a hatchback that is comfortable, well equipped, economical and doesn't require you to sell a kidney to own it
Say hello to the 2014 Hyundai i30 Elite 1.8.
This isn't some miserable little economy box where the biggest feature is the ability to start.
This is the ELITE.
And Hyundai didn't call it Elite because they were running out of words.
WHY THE i30
You've got a 1.8L petrol engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, five doors, plenty of room and a specification list that makes some newer cars look a little embarrassed. The i30 was also competing directly with the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Ford Focus, Kia Cerato, Honda Civic and Volkswagen Golf.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE COMPETITION...
Toyota Corolla
Yes, yes... we know.
"Toyota reliability!"
Absolutely.
But apparently the Corolla badge has become so valuable that people are prepared to pay extra just to have the word TOYOTA written on the steering wheel. Mazda3
Good looking. Good to drive.
But if you're looking for a sensible, comfortable hatch without getting carried away with the price, the i30 deserves a serious look.
Volkswagen Golf
Very nice.
Very European.
Very sophisticated.
And occasionally very interested in your bank account.
Ford Focus
Good car.
But the i30 gives you a seriously competitive package without needing to make the buying decision feel like you're choosing between a dozen different trim levels.
Honda Civic
Another excellent hatch.
But again... why automatically pay more just because everyone recognises the badge'
Kia Cerato
Probably the i30's closest relative in spirit.
But if you've always fancied an Elite Hyundai, here's your chance to join the slightly more sophisticated side of the family.

And with fuel consumption around 6.9L/100km on the period combined figure, it's not exactly going to have the petrol station staff sending you Christmas cards.
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING...
Why spend $15k, $18k or $20k+ on a newer hatchback just because it has a slightly newer registration sticker'
This i30 gives you:
Elite specification.
1.8L petrol power.
6-speed automatic.
Five doors.
Loads of equipment.
Low running costs.
And you get to keep more of your hard-earned money in your bank account.
Imagine that - buying a car AND still having money left over. What a revolutionary concept.
THE BOTTOM LINE
If you're shopping for a reliable, economical, comfortable and well-equipped hatchback, don't automatically follow the crowd into a Corolla, Mazda3 or Golf.
Take this i30 for a drive.
You might discover that the cleverest person in the carpark isn't the one with the fanciest badge...
It's the one who bought the better-value car.
