Hyundai i30 Review: 1.6 CRDi 110PS Blue Drive (2012)
We have the Hyundai i30 Active 1.6 CRDi 110PS Blue Drive in for a week to review and road test. Is the new Hyundai i30 really a match for the VW Golf and Ford Focus? [nggallery id=1313 template=customlinks] Hyundai probably won’t see it quite the same way (they have been in the business of making cars for […]
