Haters gonna hate bro, at the end of the day just biy the car tht you feel comfortable most you are the ine riding not them lol. Reviews are sometimes too biased(honestly so are ours) so yeah, buy the best fucuk the rest.

All SA's will claim to have good sales. Every showroom ive been to (other makes included) have always claimed good sales. So i will always take that with a pinch of salt. Bookings also may be high but how many actually translate into actual registrations? Many of those bookings are ppl who arent aware of the new BNM ruling.

Btw, there will never be any discounts or freebies for new launches. Discounts are usually offered to boost sales or to clear stock and this will only come later.

Civic 1.8SL, Altis 1.8G....    the list continue.... 

my fren kept asking me to wait for 308 sedan to come out     

Please lar bro, u ady made one in your mind.

Cuz i still see you posting comments in this thread.

i had hard time deciding mazda3 2.0 and elantra 1.8 too... at the end.. due to the rear seat in mazda is quite clampy and then i placed booking on elantra 1.8... hope i wont regret later on

Nissan SA in wangsa maju offered RM6k discount even without me bargaining.

FYI On Hyundia Elantra MD and other Hyundai Car Warranty
1 year or up to 20,000KM which ever earlier Hyundai shall warrant all acessories
are working in order or replace them free of charge.
(these are the remote control, stereo etc.)
3 years or up to 60,000KM which ever earlier Hyundai shall warrant all original
hyundai parts are working in order or replace them free of charge
( timeing chain etc )
5 years or up to 300,000KM (if you have service your car regularly and maintain
as per required by Hyundai), Hyundai shall claim insurance under MUI Continental
all cost to repair or replace the engine and/or transmission system.

So I have been told by the Hyndai Service executive that hyundai car need to be
maintain properly. after 60,001km it seems a lot of parts are still have to be
paid by the owner if it is damaged..

So much for the excitment of new Elantra MD fans, waiting time will be 4 months
for whoever who has not ordered yet and prices shall increase...

Oops, fixed.
Thanks

so the Mazda 3 really doesn't have ESP / Traction control / VSM?

It's the same with every car, no such thing as a full warranty.

The only reason it's less obvious because the gap between a usual 3 years warranty is so much smaller than a 5 years warranty.

3 years or 60k

Just came back from Puchong Show Room.. test drove Elantra 1.6GLS

Looks:
When I first reached there.. totally astounded and impressed by the design. oh god it looks so much better than in the brochure and youtube lol. It's really a nice futuristic and non-mainstream design. When i drove outside along KESAS Highway, totally felt so special 

Speed:
Pickup , there was 3 people in the car, all grown adults. Speed from 1-100 is just brilliant, and i must say the 6speed shifttronic is really flawless. Test drove up to 130kmph, was my max cause a lot of cars had to give way to me  so cant pickup much. Wind sound was totally oblivious to me, all way to 130kmph.

Comfort:
Since it's HS, the black leather felt okay, I cant comment much on it but it's definitely a good addition to its price. Suspension is OK, went through a couple of bumps, felt OK, but still a *bit* edgy because of the 205/55/16 tyres. Oh and did i mention, it came with soundproofing - so what i heard in the car was just us chatting lol. It's THAT QUIET.

Interior Finishing:
The plastic dashboard feels a bit hard and cheap. But then again, they masked with a greyish colour so it still felt premium. Okay, maybe some points taken off here, but what the heck, for the price I'm paying , I am already more than satisfied  Sound system comes with 2 tweeter, 4 speaker - bass is just nice    All the other gadgets are impressive, buttons respond well to my touch , just a bit disappointed there was no cruise control in the 1.6

Maintenance:
Took the maintenance sheet from SA, it's really quite affordable. RM130 for 1000km/5000km, and major 20,000km is about 600, and major 60000 is about 780. Bear in mind it's a C-segment car, and this price you're paying is very , very , very affordable.
Mojo factor:
Hah! Here's good one, believe it or not i saw a couple of chicks coming in with some uncles and first thing they went after - the Elantra. Also on the road, a C-segment car really makes a difference somewhat, people tend to "respect" you on the road more often, wont simply just turn and dash into your lane (which i find it rather dangerous).

Verdict:
Coming from an amateur driver, I must say Elantra really brought several notches up the charts. Frankly, try it yourself, and you'll be captivated by its beauty. I've booked the 1.6GLS Cheers!

  ah sorry i mean i took it, saw it and gave back

I must say the road noise of Elantra is much lower than Forte's. 

I mean road noise. Engine and wind noise are on par. Road noise is way too obvious for my like and Forte was using Kumho tyres and Kumho are quite noisy one.
I think the road noise of Elantra only behind Sylphy.

gt hyper metallic picture onot ?? if hyper metal not nice...then is White jor

just realized that the Hyper Silver color might be this.
It's from the US official website. lolx~ so obvious~

I do support my National Car, but if I told myself - my first car would be national, my second i want to try import

So there you go.

Wondering what features will be added for the +$2k second batch o.O
For those who booked now but get 2nd batch car will be charged for additional $2k?

I feel that Kah Bintang always very slow get updated one. I always heard something from SD first then only Kah Bintang
