Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / March 2008Hyundai i30 - CRTD leads the way
Took an i30 CRTD for a drive yesterday and to say I was impressed, would be an understatement. I'm fairly sure there will one in RogerM's garage very soon. Here are some interesting excerpts from an article I have been reading. Interesting to note how bad the "hybrid" Toyota Prius performed. The new Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi turbo diesel has beaten an array of diesel and hybrid rivals to top the fuel efficiency stakes in the Greenfleet class of the prestigious Panasonic World Solar Challenge. The i30 CRDi consumed just 3.2L per 100km and emitted just 97g of CO2 per kilometre over the 3,000km journey from Darwin to Adelaide - outperforming not just Toyota's Prius hybrid but also diesels from Peugeot and Audi and even a BioBike. The i30's accomplishment is all the more noteworthy because it is Australia's newest and most affordable diesel passenger car, its retail price of $21,490 in SX trim offering a saving of over $15,000 compared to the less fuel efficient Toyota Prius. By comparison, the Leaseplan Toyota Prius consumed 5.6L per 100km and emitted 146g of CO2 per kilometre, and the Peugeot 207 HDi consumed 3.9L per 100km and emitted 118g of CO2 per kilometre. Meanwhile the Team Ethanol SAAB BioPower (85% Ethanol and unleaded petrol) consumed 9.3L per 100km and emitted 148g of CO2 per kilometre.

If economy is so important to you, then buy a f.cking moped. It'll snot any car senseless. -- Regards, Noddy. >> By comparison, the Leaseplan Toyota Prius consumed 5.6L per 100km and >> emitted 146g of CO2 per kilometre, and the Peugeot 207 HDi consumed 3.9L [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > If economy is so important to you, then buy a f.cking moped.

Roger > If I wanted a f.cking moped I would have said a f.cking moped. Do you know what one is? I'm betting you wouldn't if someone rode one half way up your arse :) > Obviously, you have never driven an i30 Turbo Figure that out all by yourself Sherlock? > or you would not be talking with your hand up your arse. I found your post totally f.cking Boring DAvid, as all you said was "I liked it". Most people around here when driving cars give a fairly decent report of how they found the things, and a few even suggest what they liked and *didn't* like (google a regular's write up on the i30 not so long ago). You, on the other hand, said there's be one in your garage soon, and because I found that as entertaining as eating my own ear wax I have my hand up my arse. If it floats your boat, then knock yourself out. -- Regards, Noddy. >> If I wanted a f.cking moped I would have said a f.cking moped. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > If it floats your boat, then knock yourself out. Sorry, I didn't notice I wrote the post specifically for you. The post was not about me, but the part report I published. My comments were not to be taken serious as if it was "my" road test. Fortunately, there are more noteworthy recipients/contributors in here than you. As a matter of fact, your sh.t is at the point where it has become annoying and not the slightest bit funny. I have even credited you in the past with "congratulatory responses" to the odd sensible post you rarely post, but you even have to be a f.cking smartarsed prick about that too. I really don't know what kind of life you lead Noddy, but I'd be f.cked if it can be a happy one. Does your missus mope around all day too looking to pull someone apart? One thing I am sure of, it's c.nts like you who hide behind usenet and I'll bet in the real world you are nothing but a wuss who would cry at the first sign of getting a smack in the ear.

Yeah, well, considering you're the butt of most of the jokes you're not very likely to find them all that amusing, eh? :) > I have even credited you in the past with "congratulatory responses" to > the odd sensible post you rarely post, but you even have to be a f.cking > smartarsed prick about that too. I don't hide the fact that I'm an arsehole Roger, and you *know* that. If it gets up your nose, then you know what to do. > I really don't know what kind of life you lead Noddy, but I'd be f.cked if > it can be a happy one. It's a *very* happy one, but then you wouldn't have a clue. > Does your missus mope around all day too looking to pull someone apart? No, my missus mopes around all day waiting to tell me off for buying some sh.t I don't need and can live without :) > One thing I am sure of, it's c.nts like you who hide behind usenet and > I'll bet in the real world you are nothing but a wuss who would cry at the > first sign of getting a smack in the ear. Feel free to put that theory to the practical test whenever you feel like. -- Regards, Noddy. > Took an i30 CRTD for a drive yesterday and to say I was impressed, would be > an understatement.

Bloody good rap up for the i30,...but how does it perform when you need the neddies to overtake or accelerate quickly?

Jason Overtake? Nobody does that anymore. It's all herding - little batches of cars whose drivers are intent on not being the first to be done over by the Scam SASL Laws.

Hyundai have been making nice cars for the last 5 years at least, and are often the best in their class (in terms of both quality and price). > To noddy do you hav eto practice hard to be such a pratT ? Who the f.ck asked you? -- Regards, Noddy. |
