Do you want a hatchback, or a coupe? In your GTC, did yet find the need for the rear doors or do you use the rear seat often? That's the only reason I would choose a hatchback over a coupe. I would've chosen the coup but I have kids so it won't be practical.
Hardly use the back seats so dont mind the coupe... Also should i go auto or manual??

Do you sit in traffic much? There are others on the forum with auto Ceratos.
Yeah normal Jhb traffic... Hoping to hear from them then :)
Thanks

Which i30? The 2013 model? I am not sure it is in SA yet but it is definitely available in the UK. Don't get a car about to be replaced.
Maybe call Hyundai and ask when they are expecting the Elantra Coupe... Car of the year in Coupe form got to be good:

I have the manual sedan Cerato and still love it after two years. If you in traffic a lot get the auto, it also has paddle shift if you want to play around :) Auto's fuel consumption is noticeable higher though.

We'll probably get a 1.8L engine model, as in the Elantra. Here is a video:
