kelaihoyin 5th Gear February 5, 2018 Share February 5, 2018 Elantra now oso below 100k wat Think Elantra and i30 is in a totally different league in terms of engine performance. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezg1 5th Gear February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 What is the rear suspension of Astra? In the brochure, it mentions Watt's link and compound link, are they the same? Is it independent suspension? Astra.jpg ....Wasn't very good in handling on my HB..imo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocker 1st Gear February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) I consider the i30 an astra killer for the price. Do u guys agree? Not trolling. But astra definitely better looking! Agree that Astra has an edge in the looks, but the i30 is really quite nice too. It is also selling the 1.4T at Astra's 1.0T price. Not sure how it is setup but the multi-link rear suspension is potentially more comfortable. The handling of the Astra is really great, but I could use a tad more comfort. I do not think the i30 will handle as well as the Astra though the i30 may have a more updated suite of driver assistance, not sure about this. It also has rear air-con and potentially better NHV insulation. The Astra 1.0 engine (esp good FC >20km/l) and selling price difference is good enough for me not to consider the 1.4 Astra despite the AMT. On the other hand, If Hyundai brought in the 1.0T with the dual clutch, it will be really hard to resist....

therock Supersonic February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 Yeah, that engine is something to beat at the under 100k price point..
