Is the Hyundai i30 a good replacement for my Skoda Fabia?

Hi

I had four Skoda Fabias in the last 16 years, never had any problems, but I am looking for a slighly bigger car. I like the Hyundai i30 and going to buy a year old next week. Is this a good move? I like the long warranty.

Hi Stuart,

The new-shape Hyundai i30 is a really great car. Its interior quality and space will be a decent step up from your Fabia and the i30 is more refined on the road too. Good choice. If you are looking for alternatives, take a look for Kia cee'ds of the same age, as they're essentially the same car underneath and the Kia warranty itself is a little longer (though different).

Let us know how you get on.
