Nice piece in the papers about it.
Try carsguide.com.au as their name was at the top of the report I read.
Love the fuel economy test.
They decided to see how far one would go on a tank of fuel and set off from Sydney to Brisbane to see when it would run out.
It ran out on the northern outskirts of Bundaberg. :cool: :eek:

That's 1269 klms for our overseas friends.
That's up the Pacific Highway during school holidays, with roadworks, bottlenecks, grey nomads et al.

It's quite a cute little thing, and certainly looks a generation newer than the getz. Over here the colour range is pretty different to the i30, and it is available with a (1.4) U2 CRDi.

It was is) quite a lot less than the i30, but it is a lot smaller car.

I only saw part of it and by the time I'd realised it was said and done.

I'll keep an eye out for the replay!

Yeah. Once.
But I noticed the green also in a press story. One paper had a red pic, the other a green one. Thought it was a Mazda 2 at first. :P
Quite a nice looking car and if the i10 arrives as well, should be good.
I can understand Hyundai doesn't want to see the end of the high performing Getz, but the newer shapes certainly run rings around it.

From Cars Guide.
"The result is a considerable step up from Hyundai's current entry-level model, the Getz.  The i20 is larger, more sophisticated, more refined. Since the Getz is nine years old, with production ending this year, no wonder the i20 seems so much more contempoary - so, well, grown up".

I suspect the Getz had outlived its usefulness in overseas markets, so Hyundai Australia may have no choice in the matter.
