My youngest is looking to buy a new small car and the i30 is currently

They're a nice car.

A bloke up the road here has had one for 6 months or so and he absolutely
loves it.

I've done long K's in a Getz and the same distance in a VR with 244,000km's
on the clock and the VR absolutely snotted the Getz in ride and comfort over
that distance - so I for one am not buying the bullshit that a Getz is more
comfortable then an EF Fairmont.

I don't know why you're so wrapped in Getz's, they're a a great runabout but
beyond that they provide for a pretty miserable experience even on moderate
trips.
