So, just got a Kia Cerato Sport as Smiss suggested. I am still shaking my head at the price when compared to other cars. $23k drive away, so with the i30 as a trade $19k.
Drove a few different cars today and we kept going back to the Cerato.
More comfy seats than the i30. Not quite as good fuel consumption with petrol. Room for the bike. Pretty much an updated i30.
Sat Nav. Rear camera. Cruise and all the other shit you get. The bride is happy and excited. I am just happy it is over
The Octavia wasnt available locally til November. The Skoda dealer actually told me to get another i30 as his Octavias sell them selves. The Nissan Qeashqai was too harsh a ride around here. The Hyundai Tuscan felt horrible compared i30.
I am going to miss the little diesel that could. But, time it went to the i30 paddock.
Thanks for all the advice.
Sarc ; my second favourite type of gasm.
