Found this online (interesting)

I am sure others have already seen this and I am way late, but I just came across this and though it was interesting. Would this be something that we could put into the FAQ's? Just for reference?

It's average. Most modern cars are going to hover in the 0.30 +/- 0.03 range. For comparison, both the Lexus LS 430 and Honda Insight with extensive attention to aerodynamic treatments get about 0.25. Fully streamlined solar cars can get down to almost 0.10. A perfect teardrop is 0.05. Contrast that with boxy SUVs which run in the 0.40 +/- 0.03 range.

I thought the 98-99 I30t's came with 215/55-16 tires. And my car only has power on the drivers side.

For year-to-year changes, try this one:

Not very accurate at all... Consumer guide is wrong about a great many things. First, traction control (VLSD) was available on all I30s regardless if it was a manual or an automatic and it was available for the entire duration of the A32 platform. Second, heated seats were never standard. They were optional for all 5 years. Plus, their weight listing is close but not close enough. That 3001 lb. curb weight was for a bone stock GXE maxima with manual tranny.

Yes, it's thorough...but not very helpful if you want to see an overview of year-to-year changes, including changes in body trim like amber-vs-clear taillights, etc.
