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 entry point to both the hatch and sedan range, the Civic VTi ($22,390) arrives with 16-inch steel wheels, fabric seats and single-zone climate control, but there are some nice and premium-feeling flourishes, like LED DRLs, a 7.0-inch touchscreen that's now Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-equipped and a second colour screen in the driver's binnacle for your trip information.
It gets the lesser of two engines, though, a 1.8-litre petrol engine good for 104kW at 6,500rpm and 174Nm at 4,300rpm, that's paired with a CVT automatic transmission, feeding its power to the front wheels.
Safety is a little lacking on the cheapest Civic, with six airbags, a reversing camera and the usual suite of traction and stability systems the only highlights of a sparse safety list.
