Replacing i30 diesel?

I'm just interested to hear your thoughts on my wife's Hyundai i30 diesel. This is a 2008 car and has now clocked up 260,000km on her daily commute from Brisbane to the Gold Coast and we are planning on keeping it until our son starts driving and reckon it will make an ideal first car. To this end, we are now intending to save for the replacement which will be bought second hand in a couple of years. She would like something more "fun" but with the same reliability and safety and similar economy - hatchback and five seats are essential.

How about sticking with the brand and going for a Hyundai i30 SR? It's sporty but not too extreme, and has all the strengths of the car you already have.
