Hyundai i30 2017 review
Hyundai isn't mucking around with its third-generation i30. At all. The small hatch was the third most popular car with Aussies in 2016, and the company wants to keep the faith with the new car.

The VTi-L ($27,790) is not just the mid-point in the five-strong Civic family, but also the first to make use of the pick of the engines, a perky petrol unit helped along by clever turbocharging.
Ditching the soggier-feeling 1.8-litre engine from the cheaper models, the VTi-L makes use of much better turbocharged engine that will send 127kW at 5500rpm and 220Nm at 1700rpm to the front wheels, via a CVT automatic transmission.
Along with the engine, springing for the VTi-L will also earn you 17-inch alloy wheels, twin-zone climate control and automatic windows in both rows, but safety mirrors the model below it, so expect parking sensors front and rear, a reversing camera, six airbags and Honda's cool LaneWatch.
