Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!

We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.

From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me! We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews!

Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know! Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

Recently bought one and I feel I got a good deal.

$36, 600 driveaway with tinted windows, front and rear hardwired dashcam and carpet floor mats thrown in for free.

Yes there are some very annoying things in this car and if I could get my hands on a Corolla in a timely manner I would've but overall I'm ecstatic with this car.

Nice to see an Aussie car review channel mate. Keep the hard work 🔥 love the location also 👀

I have yet to come across a funnier couple than you two mentally disturbed individuals. I really enjoy your video reviews, how you can make fun of yourself and especially the way you gesture, I love it. Thanks for combining these fun features with the automotive world, it's original and I enjoy it even with vehicles that are not my primary area of interest. Greetings from the other side of the globe.

4:49 wasn’t too sure where I should be looking at 😂

[tshikosiphathutshedzotshik]

Do all Australians talk like these two😂😂😂

[tomy]

did you put your hand through your unzipped fly opening and then click the key fob to extend the key?

Tell me I didn't see that. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[letsseeif]

Thanks for your review. Do now whether the hatch will be based on this platform? Thanks again.

[CheapCheerful]

Love your car reviews, fkn hilarious lol

DCT with a hybrid... trouble out of warranty for sure.

[ezy.from.now.on.]

When you mention that it is also called the Elantra, that's very confusing since at one point in Australia we did have both the i30 and the Elantra sold at the same time as separate cars. Altho when I think about it, 1 was a hatch and 1 was a sedan. Wonder if they were the same car just as a different type of car🤔

[Coastmac]

It's unique style wise, may have an odd niggle but it's a decent drive. It's a yes from me

[Zues]

how long was the range on a full tank?

[jay-uobi]

All the bots are all on to you already 😭

[barron]

It looks sad, like it’s depressed. Also wait for the new KIA K4 and don’t buy this. Also not sold in NZ due to low sales of sedans.

[kristyanafinch]

The bulbs are INCANDESCENT not halogen

[ezy.from.now.on.]

Just saying... I spent a grand less than that Base model, and got a Haval Jolion Ultra 2024, with ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES, plus dashcams, tint and paint protection.

I guess ppl r paying for the hybrid battery in the i30 tho.

[Sam-chfk]

Will it spontaneously burst into flames like their other models?

[leonanthonydld]

It’s basically the ioniq hev same engine they shaved a second off the 0 to 60

[xdabigfluffgaminx]

I agreed its a good deal and the dct is perfect for the driving its been in the nire the entire and nobodys really complained about that transmission wise, but i think the big difference is at the end of the day a 50000mile corolla is worth more then a 50000mile hyundia/kia equivalent, and the corolla actually looks really good as a hybrid AND HAS AWD!!!

The lane guidance in i30 is so bad compared to corolla hybrid. Jerks the wheel out of your hand bad. Before the haters say turn it off, you have to do it everytime you start the car which is a pain.
