Host of 'The Music Jungle' and Sydney's 104.1 2DayFM, Lizzy Lovette, took the sexy Hyundai i30 for a spin for AutoChic! Here's what she had to say about it...
Three words to best describe this car:
Stylish, smooth, value.
Stand-out features:
It's surprisingly stylish and sleek! The i30 is really compact; it fits into so many parking spots (very handy in the city!) and has great visibility and easy steering, making the whole process easier! And the boot really surprised me! It's so big and spacious!
How are the cup holders?
There are lots! They even adjust to the size of your coffee cup! Always great when you're zipping around town – a girl needs to keep hydrated!
Who would this car best be suited for and why?
Someone who is busy, perhaps a style-conscious city dweller always running around town and who loves all the modern gadgets (the iPod connectivity is a bonus!).
The i30 won ECO Car Best Small Car this year, meaning great fuel efficiency (4.7 litres of fuel per 100km) and making it a greener option as well!
Choose 4 passengers for the i30:
1. My Sister Tory – because we have the best fun on road trips!
2. Jon Bon Jovi – to look hot and serenade us
3. Elmo – because he's naughty, cheeky and gives us the giggles.
4. Oprah Winfrey – for warm and fuzzy inspirational and tear-jerking moments! You go girlfriend!
Best soundtrack for this car:
Metro Station's debut self-titled album 'Metro Station'... their cool LA electro pop beats will make you want to "Shake it!!!"
Which movie can you best imagine this car playing a starring role in?
Definitely a stylish chick flick! The new Sex and the City Movie, Legally Blonde or How to Lose a Guy in 10 days!
The final verdict?
The i30 is a cool little car and very good value! I genuinely enjoyed driving it! It looks hot, it's got great fuel efficiency makes it cheaper to drive and is more environmentally friendly this car's got it all!
* Note: the Hyundai i30 SX CRDi and SR models have a 5-star ANCAP safety rating; however, the i30 SX models have a 4-star rating.
