2015 Hyundai i30 1.6 SE Hatchback

Description

I’ve had this car for a few years now, mostly just doing the local drives and weekend trips around Campbeltown, Argyll and Bute. It’s a solid, reliable hatchback — not flashy, but gets the job done. The 1.6 petrol engine is smooth, and the automatic transmission makes parking and city driving a breeze.

It’s got all the basics: ABS, air conditioning, Bluetooth, cruise control, power windows, and a good bit of safety gear — front and side airbags, ESP, parking sensors, and even a TPMS system. The seats are comfortable, with a 60-40 split rear that folds down easily, and there’s storage all over — cup holders, glove box with cooling, under-floor space in the boot, and even a 12V outlet in the luggage compartment.

I bought it new, so it’s been well looked after, and it’s got a full valet service and a six-month or 6000-mile warranty. The alloy wheels look decent, and the interior is clean, with leather steering wheel and sun visors with mirrors. I’ve also got the solar glass and LED daytime running lights — not fancy, but useful.

I’m not looking to sell it for a big profit, just passing it on to someone who’ll use it for real life, not just showy drives. It’s been a good car to keep around for daily use and occasional trips up the coast.

If you’re looking for something reliable and practical — with a bit of tech and good safety — this might be the one. Price is £8,955, but I’ll talk about that if you're interested.

Living in Campbeltown now, it’s easy to get to and I’m happy to chat about it if you want to see it.
