Our elantra will suffer the same fate as first batch forte.. after a year facelift..

Yes i dont think ill get the same experience i enjoyed for the past 8.5 years but i aim to go as close as possible to that. I can only do my best as when problems do crop up in future, i can safely turn back and say ive done my best so whatever comes will come. Most of the time we dont put in sufficient effort into making the right choices before making decisions and when things start to go downhill, we start finger pointing. I try not to walk down that path where possible.

If you wanna know more about me, check my previous posts over the past 2 years. Ull get a fairly good idea of who i am, the industry im in and how i set targets and achieve them.

But the Elantra was actually the 2nd car after the Forte which caught my attention during KLIMS 2010 because of its great design and interior looks. I have been monitoring this car ever since. But not for my own use of course.

Im just hoping the price will be right unlike the Sonata.

How is the Sonata priced 'not right'? I would like to hear it from you

smart!!! it looks like mazda i think..

Actually.. if you bother to read abit then you would know your assumption that I do not know how COE works is wrong.

BTW the new LYN Beta function on people "replying" to me is awesome.

Back on thread, i'll conveniently quote it for u

It should have been priced a bit lower. But of course u will have your alternate opinion which is fine.

Got 2 full pages of 2012 Elantra review in Berita Harian (Auto) today.

wrong wrong

COE also less than SD 10K few yrs ago (b4 2008).
Do U think my family can sell our 2nd hand car much higher than we buy as our car appreciate as U said?
No my friend. Car still depreciate no matter what.

PS: Most of my family live in Johore and singapore for generations.
I dont think Singapore's car policy much better than Msia. It still pricey.

That link is for Kia Optima. Wrong thread...

Priced lower, why?

Read my previous posts. Ive explained all this before.

The same as the honda accord full spec priced lower than the 5 series lowest spec

cos one is rear wheel drive, one is front wheel drive?

I also curious to know, may you point it the post?
I guess is just simple because of kia able to lowest their price...

Kindly quote them? I am very interested in what you're trying to say

Imagine a couple who've been together for years. Hyundai is the man, Hyundai owners collectively is the woman. Now imagine that at the beginning, the man wooed the woman with plenty of promises and his dashing Korean good looks. The woman finally agrees to take the man home to live together as a couple. It was good for the first few years, then suddenly, that handsome Korean man this woman married turned out to be a real liability, being a guzzler and always costs a bomb with every trip to the clinic (service centre).

Worse still, her friends all married Japanese men and report that their husbands are generally problem free, just like their fathers and their fathers before them. They ridicule this woman for having been sweet talked into marrying a Korean man who's only good on the outside but rotten to the core. It's become so bad that when she tried to trade him in for a better husband, the husband traders didn't want to take in any Korean men.

One day, she meets a new man. A young, extremely handsome Korean man with plenty of muscles and a long and sturdy gearstick. He tries to seduce her, but in the back of her mind, the rotten memories of her previous experience with a Korean man has left her jaded with anything Korean. Nonetheless, this new handsome man tells her that he's different, that he doesn't need to visit the clinic as often as previous generation Korean men, that he will give her the ultimate ride of her life!

In the back of her mind, she is thinking to herself, "Should I trust this new Korean guy, or should I listen to all my other friends and go with a Jap instead?. A Japanese man does nothing for me, but after all the pain that I've been through, will I risk it all and go Korean again?"

In the meantime, this clueless new Korean man who thinks so highly of himself, and for good reason, since he's a much improved version of his predecessor and knows that the woman will not go wrong in choosing him, refuses to oversell himself to her, and instead waits patiently at the side, hoping that the woman will eventually come to her senses and make the right choice. He is unaware of the personal conflict brewing within this woman, and the fact that she is really keen to take him in, and all he needs to do to convince her, is to....

omg.....

bro gregy, that's a really nice metaphor u used there. i like it

Well said. Its just the 'lower his asking price' part which i dont see happening in this couple's case.
