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-S ($24,490) occupies the second rung in the Honda Civic range, sitting above only the entry-level VTi in this 10th-gen line-up.
Opting for the VTi-S will earn you 16-inch alloys (over the steel wheels on the entry-level car), along with halogen fog lights and parking sensors front and rear, though under the bonnet is the same 1.8-litre petrol engine good for 104kW at 6500rpm and 174Nm at 4300rpm. The engine is paired with a CVT automatic transmission, feeding its power to the front wheels.
Safety is taken car of via the same six airbags, reversing camera and traction and stability systems as the entry-level model, but adds Honda's cool LaneWatch (with activates a side-mounted camera when you indicate, beaming an image of the lane running alongside the left-hand side of the car up onto the seven-inch screen).
