Xtreme Vision...headlight buld = H7. got it for Rm170. The Ultinon cost me RM160. Combionation of both really a winrar.. B4 Ulthinon, I had upgraded to another cheapo LED but the combi really chekai & thus went back and asked for replacement to ultinon ..Now happy wth the bright upgrade liao sumore it's 100% legal..The ori highbeam now almost useless and though the same brightness as headlight ..Probably I need to upgrade the highbeam bult to xtreme vision too

wah lau, you really go ask the Hyundai about it's RV ar?

did you ask them why it's cars previous models so low RV (resale value) wan?

Have to ask mah...otherwise very scary wor wth the previouys car resale value. i even re-check wth the 2nd car dealer that came to inspect my old car. He also assure me this latest gen Sonata will not be so bad but also saying that the value might not be as good as last gen Sonata

Reason- The old sonata having parts relibility, heavy FC & low demand. this gen Sonata diff liao..Wth conitune mthly sales >1000 units they can't even cope wth the demand and the survey in US named it as the 3rd or 4th most reliable car in the recent survey just a rank below Toyota & much higher than Honda.. So the figure in US speak for itself. Hyundai also suffered sales probolems in US years back but came back strong since the launching of this Sonata, the Tucson & Elantra

So hopefully this for sure will create a strong demand & thereafter maintaining the 2nd value as good as H&T (This is true haha)

dat day I saw one 2.4 one 2010 2nd hand, being offered for sale , used.. not really good RV also.. (price was cheaper than new std spec sonata)

1st & 2nd year depreciation is likedat.. No choice wan. i still remembered when my old Civic FD1 which i got it for RM113K in 2006, I saw ppl selling it in 2007 for RM95K...darn my heart also melted..lucky by 2008, price still ~ RM90K, 3rd yr also the same still RM85K, 4th yr also ~ RM85K & 5th yr - RM78-RM<83K...That's Honda lah..So I dun expect Soanat YF to drop till RM20K on the 5th year but I anticipate price of ~ RM60K by 5th yr (For YF model)..i.e slightly worst than Camry & Accord

Normally first and 2nd year depreciate like mad, after that will stabilize a bit.. after 5th year will drop again

especially the sonata after 5years... warranty over liao mah..

Only Sonata and VW got 5 years warranty, the rest only 3 years

Not really. Price depreciation is the highest in the first 3-4 years. After the 5th year it will stabilise. A 2003 model Toyota Vios sells for about RM 42-43K now. Just a drop of about 44% only in resale value over 8 years. It still retains about 55% of its original value despite being 8 years old. Thats what i call good resale value. Resale values are demand driven.

Most of these 5 year warranties are limited warranties. Only the first 3 yrs are full warranty. Tats the case with Hyundai & Kia. Not sure about other makes.

Just wondering...if i booked the new sonata now...how long do i have to wait???

Thanks in advance...

depend on the model and color!!

kia is 2+3

Well 5 years is always better than 3 years anyway, i applaud VW/Kia/Hyunda for giving 5 years warranty

:-) thxs to ejack who came to get his car done wit coil mat

more pics tonight. its a small world. his kampung is just around my neighbourhood

to all muslim . have a safe balik kampung trip

True enough on warranty, 3+2 is definitely better than only 3. Also not all makers provide lousy limited warranty on the additional 2 years, like VW for instance the limited warranty coverage is pretty comprehensive (read their T&C).

However there are makers like Proton offering only 2+3, so cases like this is debatable with those offering 3.

thxs to ejack for the coil mat for his sonata

Hyundai Sonata 2010









rear 2 piece instead of 3 pieces so it look neater



original carpet small piece, ours we cut it into inside

Silver is the fastest. I got it within a week after placing my order. However for other colours such as white. Be prepared to wait for 3-5mths

one week is really fast!!!!...where did you book? seriously considering the 2.0 HS silver....
