i was considering canceling my i20 and sticking with the current car until new year but honest john from the daily express changed my mind and told me to sit it out.
i went to my dealers yesterday the woman who took the order said i30's are as bad as ii10 and i20's and i read in the i30 forum that someone was up to 3 months as they had run out of parts to build he's car.
i'd love to know where the 2400 cars that are being built in india are going if they devoted 1 day a week to uk sails that 20thousand cars a month but they can't be producing even that amount for us because theres still a massive back log and its getting longer all the time if you had to order now across all 3 models in the i range my dealer said yesterday delivery was earliest mid to late january.
Ordered i30 on 27/09 with small deposit-drove it away 30/09. Cant say quicker than that. Must admit i did order the 1.4 comfort in vivid blue-must have timed it right for the delivery.
I did want an i20 comfort 5 dr with black interior in the blue but i was told by 4 or 5 different suppliers throughout the UK that it would be around mid Nov or Dec for delivery.
No regrets and cannot fault the garage or the salesman.
(I did have a tear in my eye and said a little good bye and a gentle pat for the old car. I even asked the salesman to take care when he drove it around the corner and asked him to treat it well-how said is that?)
