i30 cost 20k more but more features

 

- 7 airbags compared to 2 only

- rain sense wiper

- cruise control

- sun roof

- driver electric seat

- integrated reverse camera

I always find forte hatch looks similar like the mazda 3 hatch. But i would pick the i30 cause the design looks nicer.

I rather save 20k.

 

But design wise I prefer i30

If you can afford the extra $20K, pick i30.

 

If can't, then Forte also can lah...anyway I think both cars share the same platform because Kia is under Hyundai.

The actual price of i30 will have a discount of $15k upon walk in. So the price difference likely to be only $5k.

 

If price difference really $20k then maybe forte hatchback better buy. But since i am sure it is not, it's i30 without a doubt.

 

By the way, your first sentence "putting aside COE" has no meaning cos they are both in the same COE category.

prices i got from sgcarmart, i'm not sure what discount you are referring to.

actually i meant, some buyers may like either of these 2 cars but not buying them due to current coe level.

so if without the coe component, which model will they choose.

Design-wise, i30 is much better than Forte. Forte looks like very old model now..

Lol, forte hatch launched in 2011 and i30 launched one year later, and you already find forte looks like very old model?!

Confirmed sure cause i30 design looks sleeker, fresher and specs better.
