• Hyundai i30 - Hire car 20 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  but in the i30 it feels wrong to me. I think it is the thrummy note which makes it sound a bit frail ( I am sure it isn't actually) in comparison to a 4-cylinder. It is probably the base model so only has 4 e-windows, a reverse camera and little other frippery. This is good. The handbrake

• Aygo review 23 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  are. This one had everything I could possibly need, air con, climate, dab radio, Bluetooth, Android pairing , reversing camera etc etc. The 3 cylinder engine pulled nicely, with a very agreeable sporty sound, nice slick gearbox, well damped ride, decent handling, safe rather than ultimately sporty. But a lot

  think "P" is for when you are ready to leave the car as I needed to turn the car off and restart with the footbrake pressed. Full satnav with camera warnings, rearview reversing camera. Only downside I found was the seats which aren't very supportive.   I also didn't have time
