Practical Motoring says: The new i30 N might be Brand H’s first real high-performance hatchback, but it’s good enough that you’ll never have to use the patronising `for a first effort’ line. We’d be inclined to pay the extra $3K for the Luxury pack, purely for the lift it gives the otherwise drab interior. Beyond that, the N has the smarts, the safety, and the warranty that makes any Hyundai a price-point warrior, but combines those attributes with the handling and point-to-point zap of a true hot-hatch.

The ‘Australianised’ ZB Holden Commodore that’s melting the Internet was very nearly built here… but would that have made its reception any different?

The latest ZB Commodore, launched this week is not only the first imported Commodore; it could also be the shortest lived of the lot.
