As a practical user of the i30 1.5 wagon and the Skoda Scala, I can generally say the Hyundai is the better car. Why?

- Better cabin insulation
- More space for the driver, with a wider range of steering-wheel adjustment
- Interior is better made and fitted
- More comfortable driving position
- Handles better
- Stronger brakes

Cons:
- Higher fuel consumption
- Overall less modern styling
- Slightly weaker headlights vs. the Skoda
