i, i, sir

In my search of your road tests I came across the Hyundai i10 and i30. I have yet to drive the i30, but sat in one in the showroom and have to say I am very impressed so far. The interior seems very well put together with clearly laid out controls and quality is good. A 5-year warranty is great. I was considering a Mini Cooper diesel, but find the interior design bitty and a/c controls rather fiddly. The Cooper is overpriced I think. Between the Seat Leon, Peugeot 306 and Hyundai i30, I would be sorely tempted to go for the Hyundai, it seems a fantastic deal?

Yes. That's a fact. And soon i30s for Britain will be coming from its new Czech republic factory, warranty possibly extended to 7 years like the Slovakian built and near identical KIA Cee'd.
