Happy brand new owner of Hyundai i30 Style

Hi all!!!

First of all thanks to the admin/admins for creating such a nice forum.

I have just purchased a 2012 reg Hyundai i30 Style Nav Auto CRDi 1.6

The car looks awesome, feels awesome and drives awesome!

Have been looking for my old Ford Focus 1.4 replacement for some time and after dismissing a tiny boot new Focus, Seats or others like BMW Series 1 I have made a right decision and bought a Korean car.

I like gadgets so went for the packed Style model and I love it, rear parking camera is just unreal.

I have never been into cars and this is my second ever but that may change as this gem really excites me.

Hope to get into discussions with you soon.

Welcome to the forum, Luke. Your i30 looks nice in white! Thought of a name for it yet?

Thanks mate.

Not really, is that not something "sissies" do only?

Has your car got a name/nickname?

I recently bought a FD i30 and I love it never been one to look after the car but I wash it at least once a week now. Must be something about the i30 that makes you care for it

Welcome btw

Well educated people with a genuine love for their car do tend to assign names and even gender to their vehicles, because they are seen as part of the family.

Our cars are named Ruby & Lila it's easier to say than the red one or the white one and more personal too.

Come on LukeXtreme, have a go, surely you're not worried about your mates ribbing you

No and yes... Pablo

Haha, yeah, another good example of a name for a machine made by a completely straight manly man would be Enigma then

Jokes apart, I really like the car and if I would go for a name I would go for "White Horse"
