QUOTE Similarly, there’s little to complain about the new six-speed auto ‘box. It’s certainly smooth shifting enough and rarely puts a foot wrong in terms of perceptiveness. There are also shift paddles should you want to take matters into your own hands. This in-house developed and manufactured A6MF1 transmission is said to be the most compact and lightest of its kind in the market (12 kg lighter than Hyundai’s old five speeder, with 62 fewer parts), but the best news for consumers is that it’s maintenance free for the life of the vehicle. That’s a 300,000 km warranty for the gearbox we’re looking at. But for harsh conditions, Hyundai recommends servicing the transmission every 100,000 km. What’s considered as harsh? According to Hyundai Sime-Darby, that’s if you make a trip to Genting Highlands every day. Hyundai bench tested this gearbox by running through the ratios 24 hours a day for one and a half months, so they’re pretty confident of its robustness. http://paultan.org/2010/06/23/hyundai-sona...port-from-oman/ |

Dream car but still too pricy to own. Plus the premium is around 160k, which is around the accord and camry's price range. Thought it would be sold cheaper...

Sometimes I really don't get it why a lower class car like Peugeot 308 or Kia Forte can get 6 airbags and these dumbass car vendor (T&H brand also) only giving 2 airbags for a more expensive higher class and high spec car?? so that mean they more care about their profit rather then the driver & passenger safety.
P/S : how much is the production cost for the extra 4 airbig? over 9000????? dumbass. This post has been edited by Omage007: Jun 25 2010, 03:04 AM |

Greed. Also lack of government initiative to push for passenger safety unlike other countries. Lastly additional costs to P1 and P2 as you notice their emphasis is not on safety too.
No complaints from raykat because most of them involved in serious accident not around to complain against the company (died in crash). So to prove Malaysians care for their own safety get a car that gives you that. Your purchase can make a difference. |

okay ...just came back from Hyundai Glenmarie and test drove the 2.0 high spec sonata CBU unit ..
sound insulation: good.. speaking within the cabin without raising my voice (even with the radio turned on) power steering: abit on the soft side which is great for those tai-tai (as i prefer more responsive steering) power delivery : good the torque kicks in as soon as i floor down the accelerator.. one more thing which i'm not quite sure whether its normal for those semi-auto transmission cars.. for sonata even though i put the gear into semi auto mode it will still auto upshift for me when it hits high rpm gadget offering: good with the keyless entry, stop/start ignition , above average stock sound system, the cockpit of the car is great styling: perhaps still fresh look therefore its capturing my attention especially for the curve lines.. u'll drool when u fit the car with after market rims suspension & absorber : tried the car on tarmac and some bumpy roads around glenmarie... the car absorbs all the uneven surface gracefully the only complain i had for this car is the stock tyres.. tried to attck a sharp roundabout and the car skidded (mebbe the car i tried not equipped with ESP + its raining that time)... with 150k to burn its considered a good buy especially with the features and gadgets thrown in.. but malaysian buyer's mindset u know la .. T & H comes first.. especially the price is like 4-6k difference.. therefore Hyundai better buckle up for a good fight This post has been edited by adri4n: Jun 25 2010, 05:09 PM |

No traction control? But the spec list for 2.0 high spec has traction control. Only the basic on doesn't have it.
