I'm quite confuse on the above statement.
Hmm... upon re-reading the statement, I agree there are too many points being inserted in the two sentence.
Allow me to break it up and explain.
This part says that the rear suspension is using multi-link design, and not the cheaper torsion beams.
I actually meant that the rear uses 14" solid disc brakes, but I see the confusion here. In one sentences I was trying to explain both the rear suspension AND brakes. I'll avoid doing this again.
Even though it is generally accepted that disc brakes give better stopping power than drums, drums are the ones that lock more effectively. Because of this, the handbrake is actually more effective with drum brakes rather than discs.
Manufacturers who give disc brakes all-round, either connect the handbrake directly to the rear brake pistons, or connect it to a drum brake put inside the hub of the rear discs. This is called the "drum-in-disc" feature. I was trying to explain that the i30 uses this design.
top100, thanks for your comment. There are times which I also find that the sentences I use do get a little long and draggy. Will endeavour to use simpler sentences and words in the future. Thanks!!

ur lancer write-up a bit dark for the picture
DC18, I'm using a D60. The camera is actually OK, what I need is an upgraded flash with a light diffuser.
Currently, I'm using the camera's built-in flash, so my options at night are a little limited. The problem with built-in flashes is that the pictures come out with the subjects overlighted and overexposed, whereas the background remains dark.
To counter this problem, I've had to either turn off the flash, or use slow mode for the flash.
I'm actually quite happy with the shots of the car's exterior, but shooting the interior was quite difficult. I could have used 'Auto' mode, which would have brightened up the car, but then it would have failed to capture the ambience of the
surrounding as well.
For example, the shot below was taken with the flash on. Notice the bumper of the Grandis is overlighted and does not quite match with the ambience.

Or consider this shot of the Grandis' interior and compare to the one I posted in the Emzine. Notice how the leather seats reflects the light from the flash. The one on the Emzine was taken with my palms partially blocking the light.

Once again, thanks for the comments!!!
