First batch four colors according to memo, second batch only start to have other colors.

can know that when the second batch is coming?thxs

Just test drove the Elantra in Citta Mall. Overall the 1.8 is a better recommendation than the 1.6. Despite that, the pricing may hampered SD efforts to make this car a runaway success like the Forte.

What are the prices for east malaysia?

Where did the rain sensor located? Will darker tint kacau the sensor?

Probably will, it's located above the rear view mirror. So have your tint technician cut around it, same for the autolight sensor.

I have a feeling batch 2 (or subsequent batches) might have the additional features that WE'VE BEEN WANTING (eg 6 airbags, retractable side mirrors)

next month price drop 10k due no booking.

same thought. see how 1st batch performe. 112k is not small amount of money


about the spare tyre, is that spare tyre small than than 4tyres like myvi?

bro can i test drive in penang, den order from you, u send me the car to penang!!! Deal? haha

You need to sign letter of waiver of responsibility first



I seen the car catalog, by far the best quality catalog so far from Hyundai. Sadly dealers are not allowed to take them yet

After my brief test drive on both 1.6 n 1.8, here my verdict. I found it hard to recommend the 1.6 but found the 1.8 is much a pleasant car. The 1.6 is kinda underpowered when in low revs and the steering is too light. The 1.8 is more lively and the steering feel is just tad right. Not too light and gives good feedback to the driver.Interior quality is brilliant for this car!

Handling is great for a C segment car. But for 111k for a 1.8cc car is not that bad, but somehow felt it should be cheaper seeing how Forte 2.0 priced well in the same segment. Equipment wise is good but i somehow felt rather trade the GPS for extra 2 more side air bags.

4/5 for the 1.8 while 3/5 for the 1.6.

huh yoh~~~ poison coming...Hav to ask bro fluid, warranty can claim ont if install the lighting package!!

Was among the first 10 to test drive the only unit available in Kuching. They had only the 1.6 High Spec. I went to the showroom with pretty high expectations due to the sheer amount of publicity and knowing that this car won so many awards in US and some other countries. Left the showroom bloody disappointed.

What really spoilt the driving experience was the lack of torque at low end rpm. Power only comes in at higher rpm. However, when I returned to the showroom only I noticed that it was in Eco mode. Now i wonder how different it would be if the ECO mode was disabled. However, as many forumers have concluded, the 1.6's acceleration is truly sluggish.

The Forte 1.6SX 6 speed provides a much livelier acceleration. With the price of the elantra 1.6HS equalling the Forte 2.0SX, I cannot see how I can recommend this car. The only aspect which the Elantra is better than the Kia is the Aesthetics (Outward appearance).
