What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"The i30 is deeply impressive as an overall package, managing to blend some of the daily usability of the latest Volkswagen Golf GTI while including attributes such as communicative steering, a willingness to rotate mid-corner and providing ample driver feedback, attributes which it shares with the likes of the Honda Civic Type-R."
