Ya lo, another way of thinking, since we r buying a car for close to 100K thy assume we don't really mind paying an extra 200 maybe. Haha!!

Just test drove both 1.6 & 1.8 again with 5 passengers.
Definitely can feel less power but just sufficient.
On the glaring issue on the HU, I didn't felt any glaring at all although we're under the sun light n all.
But we had air cond issue when we sit in as the compressor turn on n off for some time before it settled down.

Test drove with my fren again just now. Asked bout the Hyper Metallic n Tomato Red. She shown me the real pic from her phone. To make it simple, hyper metallic is exactly the same as the current Sonata. Really nice. I think Merz has this color. Red is 95% similar to Tucson. The Santorio Blue she shown me from her phone. Seemed very attractive too.

the SA also said that the color from the brochure/catalogue do not do justification to the car in real. drool.gif

The hyper metallic color shown in puchong net not accurate. It looks like brown to me...

Yup, that one also not accurate. But u can look at the current Sonata Hyper Metallic bro. It's the same. And it's really nice. My fren said like Merz ler. Haha!

No not those champagne gold like City. It's slightly lighter than that. U really need to check it out yourself to really understand it. Haha!! Go to any show room with plenty of Sonatas. I was at HQ so luckily they have one to show me just now. And the SA saw it from the warehouse hence she can confirm the color.

Finally had the chance to test drive the elantra. but only the 1.8 premium  rclxms.gif did my test drive at the SS2 branch, too lazy to drive all the way to old klang road, so sorry to SA there  blush.gif

anyway, my comments

Interior:
For me, the interior is way better than what you get in the Forte. in fact, i'll go as far to say that its kinda on par if not better than the honda civic. for those who say its cheap, i think they must have been comparing to VW or Beemers.. smile.gif I love the curves and the soft plastics inside. the supervision cluster is also very pleasing on the eyes (to mine and my mrs at least) As for the leather seats, the red stitching aside, i really like how the nappa leather feels. Definitely felt more comfortable than the forte's. Legroom, although not as good as the slyphy's, is definitely on par if not better than most of the other cars in the same segment. Width wise is definitely better than sylphy, kinda the same as civic. i did had 2 complaint though. Under glaring sun light it was a little hard to see the LCD display even with max brightness settings. According to the SA, its because they haven't put in any tinting yet and visibility will improve tremendously once you have tinting. Not sure how accurate this is. Next complaint is at the center backseat. No idea why there is a slight bulge there making anyone sitting in that position a tad uncomfortable. As for height wise, its pretty acceptable for me although i have to agree that it might be slightly uncomfortable for those over 6 feet. However, in all fairness, it will be an issue only if the person is sitting fully straight. i think there is enough length in the backseats and legroom to accommodate some less upright sitting.

Exterior:
No further comment. love the design except for the inokom badge tongue.gif i did ask about the hyper silver and the SA said that its similar to the Tucson's hyper silver. not bad. came home and asked uncle google and managed to find this site http://www.dacar.su/ru/cars/hyundai/color....59&color_id=455. Should be able to give you guys a better picture of the colors. btw, the SA showed be a couple of bodykits from Korea and it did got me drooling especially the drls and led backlights.

The Drive:
For those who say that its underpowered, no idea what you guys are comparing it against. For my test drive, there is sufficient torque, albeit a slight hesitation when you first floor the peddle. For me, the power is comparable to other 1.8s. Ride comfort is there. Handling, didnt really get to test it out as the roads are pretty straight and narrow at SS2. NVH wise is much better than the forte, comparable with other c-segments BUT imho, no as good as the Slyphy.

Offers:
Not much. Didnt get any discounts. Just free front and back emblems, RM300 off tinting and full tank. According to the SA, he already has 30-40 booking himself alone.. popular car, not allowed to give further discounts by SD. Wondering if any other SAs can top that..  hmm.gif

well there you go. a non professional review from a non professional reviewer  brows.gif
*
Glad to hear that you have a nice test drive on the new Elantra bro rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
Just wondering where did he show u the body kit, LED and DRL from? Online pictures or they have it with them? any news when it's coming in and the cost? drool.gif drool.gif

anyone know if the sunroof is only sliding type or it able to tilt

OK, this is from what I experience two days ago.

The power window can slide to the front and back.

When to the back it opens completely but when going to the front it's tilted.

I think I remembered correctly since me n my fren was tilting the window up and down ... doh.gif

Just press the button instead of pulling.

Spoke to a family friend(who's a dealer). He's seen the red in person and when he found out my colour preferences, just said "Just go for the red, forget the rest. It's THAT beautiful"
I.am.ecstatic!

So does this mean that you be concluding your purchase earlier than your initial plan bro? drool.gif drool.gif

Yeah. But if similar reviews all over the world, does this mean we are ALL biase? Furthermore, I'm comparing with T as I am driving the same segment.
Btw, go YouTube search for 5 things US don't like about elantra. Of the 5 things, 2 doesn't apply to us wink.gif
*
which two doesn't applies here bro?
i tot all also the same.
1) hard plastic (subjective)
2) wind sound at high speed (r there?)
3) auto up (we have it here) thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
4) rear view (subjective)
5) boot lock (we don't have that too)

My procedure is kind of complicated, since i'm planning to get the elantra from the family friend (who's based in sarawak) and trade in current car to him.
