Im getting boring with this thread for all those comments not related to Elantra. Just hope to hear what is bad or good about the new car.

Not about what resale value, comparing to Japan car, what what about Hyundai; it is too general and the arguments will never end.

I would like to see more specific details just about Elantra.
The car has not been launched yet in Malaysia. What are u expecting? If u wanna know details about the car then google it up and get reviews from other countries. But for now, discussions will be mostly general until we get more details about the car. Understand?

bro,stop complaining at ppl rice bowl biggrin.gif gotta understand where it comes from biggrin.gif

i must say its not easy to fight with the reputation and the fame civic and corolla (altis/camry) is enjoying, they are at 8th generation already. japs car might be cheap, but japs arent stupid. there are stuff that can be copied, and there are stuff that cant be copied smile.gif

but we as consumer has everything to benefit from, so i welcome their challenges to the jap's throne biggrin.gif

and lately, even local car makers are buckling up smile.gif

Camry in Malaysia is unbeatable, but Altis is different, so Elantra will can win over the sales.

The previous altis didn't make it into the top 10 foreign car sold in Malaysia but the recent one is back in the chart with monthly sales of 500+ ... It is not a easy match also for the Koreans.

Elantra will beat Altis? hmm.gif

I remember a similar statement made about the Forte when it was launched. But sadly, till now its sales are a bit lower than the Altis. Kia sold 5291 units of the Forte for 11 months of this year while 5545 units of the Altis were sold. Altough the figures are impressive for the Forte but it surely didnt beat the Altis flat as some claimed it would. The Civic was still the best seller among the 3 with 6884 units sold in the same period.

So with the Elantra i would expect all 3 cars to take hits on their sales but whether the Elantra emerges as the best seller of the lot....i doubt.

true..in fact, most of us will only be interested at the pricing info..

anything else can wait..

go leave a namecard at the sales office, and ask the SA to call you back.

or if you're internet savvy, try check mudah.my, usually some SA will leak early on the pricing and spec. works most of the time.

lowyat? its a forum to you to talk, not to wait for announcement.

Darker tone tend to reveal more scratches plus the downside of dirt and dust being more noticeable, if the red is like the Sonata it'll be quite a dark tone. Go for silver or lighter tone if you're want to worry less about your car looking wearied and dirty.

By personal preference I prefer the hyper metallic grey, sadly I don't think the Elantra will be getting that colour.

Just my personal opinion of what i observe, black and white colored car is a big no no. Unless you have a lot of time for washing car.

I am the lazy type, i want it silver this time. rclxms.gif

You rajin wash car or not? laugh.gif

If yes white is better, red is less obvious when it's dirty but scratch marks can be a headache, it's obvious when there's something reflecting off your car, eg sunlight, or bright objects.

Dry weather then it's ok, rainy season cannot laugh.gif

It'll get worse if you parked your car at the rainwater run off from awning/roof/building. Just within 30 minutes the black stain appear on your car. During last November/December period, me and colleague usually spend 1 hour plus wiping cars every morning, Starex need 2 person and a ladder to get things done fast. tongue.gif
