QUOTE(jusjus88 @ Apr 19 2012, 12:43 AM) yes it does  even the 1.6standard has it. quite nice to handle , pick up is good. just not used to 6gears because i'm a dinosaur.. always played with 5 only How does it work actually? i read from wiki is like something + and - ? it works like paddle shifter right? just that the way you change gear is via the gear knob by pushing up + or down -.

QUOTE(wei @ Apr 19 2012, 12:51 AM) When you in driving mode, shift the stick to left. Just push up to go up 1 gear or down for lower 1 gear. Simple. QUOTE(jusjus88 @ Apr 19 2012, 12:52 AM) that is correct, it works like paddle shifters, just it's incorporated with the current gear knob area. + increase gear - decrease gear but the ECU will auto increase your gear when you hit the red line if i'm not wrong (to protect your engine) Wow, this is my 2nd sought after feature after engine and look&feel. Thought Elantra comes without semi automatic gear like paddle shifters. OKAY. +2 for Elantra, my mind is shifting more towards Elantra now, gonna say goodbye to Forezeee if found more things to +1 for Elantra

QUOTE(jusjus88 @ Apr 19 2012, 01:05 AM) haha bro, drive manual when want to race with people usually will whack till redline de la.. Test drive to believe it  sorry proton, have to borrow your catchline.  so many tagline stolen in Elantra MD thread here. LOL Ya, my test drive is on this saturday. So far the look and the interior feel are very positive thus far ... 1 thing that i found to be discouraging is the long booking period needed, 2-3months is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long

QUOTE(ihatemyguts @ Apr 19 2012, 03:12 PM) Driving over 100km/h isn't a safety issue. The issue is when you lose control at those speeds; that's when the VSM saves lives. Personally, VSM is a bonus only. Who asked u to corner at that high speed and on Malaysian roads?

QUOTE(ihatemyguts @ Apr 19 2012, 03:18 PM) I don't, but try telling that to millions of malaysians on the road. It's not just cornering; you could run into a pool of standing water which you failed to notice. That would cause your vehicle to lose control too. It's not that we want the tech there so we can use it all the time, but it gives peace of mind knowing it's there should the unexpected happen. during raining, please dont drive fast, very important lesson to be learned when you were getting your P license. VSM is an added feature, it is good and added safety for those driving dangerously and recklessly. For everyone else, just practice basic safety rules, and that's more than enough for you.

After what i saw with Elantra, i found Malaysia car market to be very sad state:
Our car price is already overpriced, and ...... dont be that stingy please. New car introduced here are pretty featureless unless you get the premium version. Features will only added slowly in new batches after 6-12months, and so they can increase price too.
So, im seeing electronic side mirror, bluetooth, EPS(look less likely) to be added to basic version of Elantra MD after a few batch.

QUOTE(stevenycs @ Apr 19 2012, 07:26 PM) forgot how it goes actually during the rain test. cause i was too syiok n into driving fast and over water that time. but i think shouldn't be too obvious or else wifey would have pointed it out to me.  Added on April 19, 2012, 7:29 pmI got 2.45% for 7 yrs with 80% loan from PB  Added on April 19, 2012, 7:33 pmCame back from HQ, the SA also confirmed with SD memo on price increase but he didn't said when. But asked to confirm ASAP before the price increase. Normal SA SOP. Seemed like they got plenty of stock as they can commit end of the month delivery if u commit now for 1.6HS (white, black and silver). Tested iPhone on the USB dock, confirm cannot sync and can't even charge it. Xien jor  Where is the HQ?
