One week once should be enough for a white car. White car tend to get water dripping dirt once dried, mostly after heavy downpour.
Anyway, hardworking washing will render all these obsolete! rclxms.gif

Metal part is easy, wash and it comes off easily, good luck with plastic and fibre parts like bumper, the longer you leave the stain on it, the harder it is to come off later on and you can never get a perfect wash, they'll evetually leave stubborn stain that require some polishing solution. Polishing the i10 bumpers and plastic parts to a perfect clean shine state took me a good 45 minutes. God knows how long it took my colleague to polish bigger cars laugh.gif

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
Some calls it hyper silver I guess,

Colour choice might still change, but different region has different preference for colour.

I am actually surprised that red made the cut, red was impossible to sell on the Sonata and Tucson.

Well, there is a grey for the Elantra, but I don't think it's the hyper metallic, hyper metallic is actually a rather 'niche' colour in Malaysia, and for Hyundai's car, it's only popular on the Tucson.

We'll see then, Hyundai's colour chart can be rclxub.gif

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.

Ampun toongku, beribu ribu ampun, sorry to spoil your viewing pleasure of this thread with useless banter. Maybe toongku can contribute to the discussion with interesting topics related to the car than just waiting to be spoonfed? Google is your buddy, buddy.

Red look good on smaller looking cars like hatchbacks. There is nothing wrong with colour preference, as much as the majority now like white coloured car, I am avoiding it like a plague due to the daily washing.

One issue with red colour is that the rear will lose some character, this is because the rear lights blend into the car body colour. The rear tend too look more plain. I sold a red colour Tucson before so I've made comparison.

Google is great at telling you about Hyundai Elantra but it is not going to tell you a lot about Inokom Elantra.

Beside, forum serves as the central point for informations sharing and communication. The law of Google is your buddy doesn't seem to apply to you when I quoted the fuel consumption in cent/km, you seems not pleased about it. Google is your friend mate, conversion equation is in there too. With your level of intelligence you have been subtly implying, I am very confident it's not very hard for you to read the date of my posting and do the conversion properly.

Or maybe you're just waiting to be spoonfed too on that, I mean, wait... oops? Touche

I am going to be blunt, but if you have issue with how this thread goes on without resorting to derailing it with topics that has been harped on over and over again, I suggest you can simply ignore this thread instead of trying to correct it into your standard. People will continue to ask the same questions like launching date over and over again and we will continue to answer them, at least these people don't talk back to the answer as unacceptable and just stand there harp and rant till when man first landed on the moon.

And I am going to make some final point clear here as some still doesn't get it, I am here to share information, not cari makan, any sales through here is a bonus. There are forum members here that didn't book the Elantra from me but asked me questions which I gladly answer. Secondly, I hate elitism, and will retaliate back the same way to let the other party know how irritating it can be.

Who knows? smile.gif But I can tell you I don't know laugh.gif

Veloster don't know when launching yet. Elantra might have delayed some of SD's plan in 2012.

Whether they're going to launch the Accent first or Veloster this year first is another question. Accent is a b-segment car, while Veloster caters for the few enthusiast.

Nobody expects nor wanted the delay on the Elantra.

Veloster was never promised to be launching in Feb, but I am not expecting it to launch in Q1(Projected) or Q2 of 2012 either. Expected launching date is not promised launching date, don't get overly excited and mis-interpret their words smile.gif

Veloster may be hot in other market, but once it come into Malaysia it's a whole different ball game, a very good example would be the i30.
