Hyundai i30 Wagon

Have test drive the hatchback on my first visit whereby the wagon was somehow not make available.

The ride was pretty quiet with probably some minimal road noise. It was definitely a better and more stable ride over the hatchback.

Looking at the great package and price point in comparison with its rivals, this is truly value for money purchase.

I have simply signed on the dotted line even before the motorshow. Glad that I have do so and the price was just up with Jan 19 1st COE bid result.

Managed to buy the car before the July VES kicked in, as such the upfront cost is much lower than today's market price, unless COE prices drop further. Functions in the car are sufficient and comes with 7 airbags compared to the i30 with only 2. However, based on the exterior, i30 still looks better than the wagon as the wagon looks like a cool head with a turtle back. Unfortunately, this model does not come with the panoramic roof top unlike the European and Australian model.

There will be a lag during pickup, but it's the nature of the DCT which will need some getting use to for previously CVT drivers
