so we are getting a 2011 car by SD.... what a rip-off

It they are listening to us, they won't wanna increase the price as written in memo..

Does that mean our current version also doesn't come with this?

Applied in US only. Spec vary across regions.

Added on April 2, 2012, 2:57 pmEven if 10 people in lowyat bashing here and cancelling booking, outside maybe 1000 people queueing for cars now. If they only have 3000 units for this year do you think they will reduce the price when the booking is already more than 1000?

Think i will start a group in fb to get polls of number of people who disagree with elantra pricing or any idea what sort of polling would be the best.

good idea.. do it now!

not sure if that is gonna achieve anything.. its just wishful thinking... FB/LYN does not represent the majority of Malaysians looking at this car.

anyway.. pretty please.. for those who tested, can anyone confirm if the rear view window is ECM? the specs on the first page says that it is..

Unfortunately I don't have any access to fb now. Can only do it after I have reach home

i tested but.. i starring at the rear view mirror for 5mins. up down left right, i cant c any different with a normal rear view.. so sry. Howver will test drive again n again to finalize my final answer

Remember SD will need to sell upcoming i30 and i40 - so this so-called pricing will be the "Best Fit" by our beluv GOV.

No ECM. The rear view mirror got no sensor and power light on it.

Added on April 2, 2012, 3:14 pmECM functions when the sensor detect light of certain brightness and dim the mirror. Can check out the one on Forte.

I too went to test drove one. Well, only the 1.6HS. And the test drive route is so short I can't tell much. No comment on the driving experience, anything better than my aging car I'm happy. The manual mode did help to push the car if you are not satisfy with the auto. I'm not a street racer, neither I have deep pocket to swallow performance (higher segment) car. Only complain is the rear headroom a bit tight. Considering I will fetch mostly my family, they are not that tall. So I think it's alright. I have my personal reason not to get the forte. So will not argue on that.

I didn't book on the spot, as the SA can't confirm many things. Also SA promise to let me test drive again once their show room get the cars, I wanted to see the real gray/ red color before deciding. Today, when I pass by Hyundai show room in Prima Damansara, they are loading 2 unit of Elantra, one silver and one white. Both have the trim line (feature guide) stickers over the body as per the event show car. Was driving so didn't take pictures. Will see next two days have time to walk-in and see.

so can we argue with SD what is going that the spec posted totally not equal with the real feature

The one in front is tentative spec not official one. This is the official brochure which didn't mention anything about ECM.

oopss.. i think bro fluidic will need to update the spec sheet to the latest one then..

sigh... to be honest, i would have happily paid 112k for the current spec sheet stated in the 1st page.. sad to see a couple of simple features being removed.. aiyah.. dont want to think so much first.. need to test drive then only decide..

the problem is with the amount of people talking and bashing here, only 2-4 are the ones who will end up or actually can afford buying it.

Most of the spec listed are correct. So far i only spotted 3 item incorrect. Power fold mirror and ECM. another one is bonus for 1.6HS which have sliding center console.

@WieBoy let me slide on that la. Forte doesn't appeal to me. And more gadget = more things to take care and repair later on. (If they can sell you a car that almost not making money, they will find other way to get it back. It's basic business.) But don't bash me on that lar. My reason is really personal leh. Hahaha...

-----------

Say did most of you get the full brochure (the one with red elantra on cover). If many want to see, I can scan and put it up by tmrw.

When u test drive, dont think of the price....every1 affected by price, that's they cant convince themselves this is a good car.

Just go like test drive a new car. just that simple.

K5 owners will hunt you down for that statement
