the other sunday i went to try on the car, i must say the car looks really cool driving in it,
Looks wise i give it a plus, compare to the previous Sonata, Which i mean, today every other person would copy each other to make the product their own, well if you wanna talk about originality, tell that to the Chinese people.. you know what i mean,

Anyway the sonata, i must say, its a very nice car, very comfortable seats, very cool stuff, only downside Hyundai sime darby has strip down our version, well bla bla on the cutting cost thing. i think this is bull shit, anyway
on the design wise, i think they can do much better, its a nice car. Nice to look at.
Drive wise. i only tested on glenmarie normal road. havent test on Bukit tinggi roads, so no comment on suspension. Comparing here with Peugeot 407, My favorite all time...

other than the start stop and smart key, and the looks, i think there isnt much to talk about. something like the Camry, But Camry is so boring, nothing exciting about it... dont you guys think. Everyday, start the car, stuck in the jam., drive to office... Park the car. After work... Drive the car again, stuck in traffic again... then reach home park the car,,, then eat dinner go to sleep.... Boring right... Why because every one has one. your neighbour has one. His family has one. Your in law has one... your friends has one... you boss has one... your cousins has one... each and everyone has one... " so what do you drive? " a camry.... " oh. IC." thats it.....

But you say, Sonata... Peugeot 3008, Audi A4,, Peugeot 508... Kia Forte... Kia K7, Kia K5 volvo S60. Volkswagen Golf,,, VW Sirocco ,, dont you feel proud...

Anyway this is subjective, because if you are the typical Malaysian you will answer, Why do you buy this car? are you not worry of spare parts? resale value? Boring Boring...

Dont you think you should answer" wow, thats a nice car? how is it? you like it? :

But i dont own a Kia, nor a Hyundai,,, nor a Audi, or a VW... But i drive a malaysian car,,, Although my heart would love the other makes out there.. the P1 serves me a very great 9 years.....

So why don't you bash the P1..,.. compare P1 with sonata lah? Of course cannot mah .. because standard and price also different...

Well not to disgrace P1, but Hyundai was once like P1,, probably 7 years ago. today they have penetrate the US market, and around the world... Yes Yes My cyberman has his facts and point... but give it a few years... then we shall see....

Why bother comparing between a Korean against Japanese... No end, they are not the same... they didnt start from the same time line... They had different focus... Everyone of them has different problems... If wanna compare create a new country, bring in all the cars, 5 years from then see what happens... like in a simulation game...

Dont compare real world. never the same... how about you who love to bash so much, start your own car company and give you 5 years and beat the shit out of the Japanese.... How about that,,,, so dont talk too much,,, do yourself first, then you can tell everyone in the world how stupid is korean cars, or P1 ,or P2 or Maybe Lancia... haha, extinct.... Or those cars made in Russia.... China no need to talk lah they are a world on their own...

So please Talk about Sonata... Of course no one will ever follow what i say,

Anyway Back to the sonata... Price wise, ok ok, a bit pricey but at least it is not so boring compare to Camry..." But if you are Malaysian please buy a Camry because you are a malaysian, you dont deserve any good car" no heart feelingsw everyone, this is to provoke all those Stupid car companies who think Malaysian are stupid... pay more and get less...

You know as i hate this country as much as they treat us second class, sucking each and every drop of our hard earn money. i like the people, culture, and i m proud to be a malaysian... Yes our cars are not as good as other countries... Because you are in malaysia mah.. want to buy cheap and great cars, please go to the country that you think it is cheap and great and stay there.... here Malaysia this is how we do it... pay more get less..

Dont worry,, Sonata will sell well... not as well as T H and N, but better than Citroen, renault, Saab,,, Fiat.... Land Rovers,,, and so on... At least if you own a Sonata, you probably have a kawan that also happen to have one as well... better than lone ranger Saab, and its kawans...

So Sonata, Great looks,,, Great door entry,,, Good Engine.... Great gear box, Great comfort,,, nice ride...

Bad side... Price,, again..... Steering too light... no Isofix seat. .... Bad sales people.. no training one... all question answered by the GM.... malu lah... isofix also dont know what... only 2 airbags.... Again Malaysian don't deserve to be saved when you meet an accident... you are expected to die when you crash into a wall...".thats what those car sellers think..".
Euro Ncap... dont think it is 5 stars... not even Camry. Peugeot Yes sure Ncap 5 star... the airbag will tell... you expect 2 airbag can save your life meh? enough to make you a vege lah...

ok enough crap... so will i buy one... probably not this one... but maybe future Hyundai... this one is the start of a new beginning... but if you like it.,.. no ones stopping you... tell cyberman to GTH and Buzz off.. not to be rude... buy if you like it, why dont you buy it?

At least you are choosing a car you like.....or love... at least after work you love to stare at your new car every day. Sundays enjoy car wash with your sonata, admiring the designers intend... all those smooth line... the looks... mmmmm... yummy car...

better than some Toyota buyers.. i buy this car because my auntie say i must buy it, i dont like the car.. buy i buy because "they say" the suspension is good... better than honda... " who the hell are they? " They are not the owner, they are not the driver, you are,,, so buy the car you like,, not what cyberman says so... get it.... so Go out there test the car... if you feel great with it, means you have synergy with the car... if not go test another one...

:Logging out... enjoy you drive and drive carefully: Top gear top tip....

nope didnt buy, dont have synergy for the car, i m looking at Peugeot 3008, or Peugeot 508, in 2 to 3 years time...

Still shopping

probably these owners fear that one day, koreans, french, germans... americans car makers overtake japanese car makers then they dont know what will happen to their resell value... maybe in 10 years time. but who knows...

congratulations... that great, another sonata owner, in the future there will be plenty of sonata drivers out there.

thats because if they wanna buy a car this range, they dont care about our petty opinions here,

This are for young people. groups of civic and city, vios and altis. naza forte and so on...

Uncle where got time to browse and read about camry and accord. They just go buy the car they like and want

and drive it and dont care about people talking about their cars.

So thats why no camry and accord here. same goes with peugeot 407 and 3008.

but sonata is different. it is a new beginning of an era of a great car maker, making its way into the world.

That is why there is so much fuss about it. The world is witnessing a once used to be P1 standard, slowly taking over the world

first with sexy cars, then great service, and abundance spare parts..... that was how T and H and N did first in the entire world.

not yet. but in the near future there sure be some dedicated sites.

yeah thats the way maverick, im all into 508, hope it be nicely price, but i would guess it fall between 150k to 170k presumably it comes with the hybrid4 engine.
Plus talking about the new improved interior which has a crossbreed of a audi a4 and french touch...

Also not to forget the 508 to replace 607 and 407,

the SA all not working leh is it? all puasa, no energy to write in order...

Anyway checked out the Kia K5,,, serious looking car. Wonder how much will Naza plan to sell here if they really bring it in... RM120k RM140K full 2.0 and 2.4 spec... comes with nice goodies just like the forte?

Will it outsell the hyundai, Toyota, and Honda.. and nissan? maybe not.. but will it be seen in every corner of KL... then Malaysia...? maybe yes... but who knows... If it sells at 120K that comes with Sunroof, smart key... Push start stop. auto wiper and headlight.. 7 airbags... TCS... and full climate control. and of course not forgetting adaptive cruise control. Plus lane departure warning. also top up with a 5 year warranty. and 60000km free service... Wow... what a car... damm yummy... and you pay less than 120K for it...

Then the koreans are putting in a great bargain
