Hyundai have launched a new star in the small sporty hatch market with the release of the Hyundai i30 SR.
 Based on the top selling Hyundai i30 Elite, the i30 SR gets a larger engine, locally developed suspension and front & rear damper improvements.

Any car that can change from grey to red and back again, while I'm reading an article, has to be worth a second look :)

Thanks again Rusty .. They all reckon it is a pretty good thing.

Pity it's not a 2 ltr Turbo Diesel (would have been on MY next car list)  :mrgreen:

You could make one of these out of a diesel. Just dig into the parts bin.

I really want them to make an 3dr 2.0GDI with a turbo!! Some fat 18-19" rims and a roof wing and an angry front and tinted windows, is that so much to ask for?? hahaha :)

Anyone drove/own one yet? I wonder if the suspension that they been talking about is any better than the standard i30.

Every review so far has been very impressed with the suspension setup including the comparison in this thread...

That is a nice find thanks Rusty. A bit more comprehensive than a lot on the web these days.. Difinitely on my shortlist for Trish if the 1.6 GD tourer isn't spirited enough for her... :victory:
