Nooooooooooo.  Have you decided on which car you'll be getting?

makes sense..

sigh.. still deciding between the Sylphy Premium, Forte 2.0 and the elantra 1.8.. decision.. decisions...

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.

if i am female, c you drive a sexy car, i will hav eye contact with you. Blink Blink  

Imagine i am the gal like my pic

<---------------------Caroline

Don let me see you drive one in penang, i will kiss yr car BF!!!

ehehe.. yeah.. maybe the 1.8SL too..  to be honest i had a 4k discount off for the sylphy. doubt T & H will be so accommodating.
408 also coming soon...
ahahaha.. bro.. i'm an uncle la.. female eye contact with me die lo.. my wife will pierce my eye..   but the mrs really like the elantra.. for me, i'm trying to get the best of my limited $$$$. but after test driving both the sylphy and elantra, i'm beginning to move away from the forte.

i'm considering these 2 now as well... is it just the rear seats that made u steer away from the Mazda 3?

with additional of 12K, you get (promotion now is 3 years free maintenance and Free GPS/DVD or 2K rebate):
- 6 airbags
- 6 speakers
- Paddle shifters
- Auto Dimm rear mirrors
- Power Foldable mirrors
- Full size spare tyres
- Better handling
- 2.0 engine (although paper specs seems not much difference with Elantra, not sure bout real life perf and also what's power to weight ratio)
What does Elantra have and Mazda 3 doesn't:
- Sunroof
- Nappa Leather
- Better FC
- 5 years and 300,000KM warranty
- Road side assist
- ESP / Traction control / VSM (this one really need to confirm, I'm not sure)

I've also done some comparison of some paper specs (correct me if I'm wrong please):

Forte 2.0
156Ps @ 6,200rpm
194Nm @ 4300rpm
Weight: 1,336 kg
Mazda 3 2.0
145Hp @ 6500rpm (147Ps)
182Nm @ 4500rpm
Weight: 1,296 kg

Civic 2.0
155PS @ 6500rpm
188Nm @ 4500rom
Weight: 1,315 kg

Elantra 1.8
148 HP @ 6500rpm
178 Nm @ 4700rpm
Weight: 1,304 kg

It does look like the Elantra is not under power, to be honest.

2.46% shouldn't be any issue. Some can get u lower like 2.45% or so. But it won't make any much different in your repayment actually.

To make it simple, Dual CVVT definitely has better fuel efficiency than CVVT.

This is my first time hearing this bro. Thanks for the valuable info.   
Will definitely ask a few SA on this.

I'd been driving Accent for 7 years. No major issue. 
Major issue after it reaches 200K recently maybe.
Started to drink engine oil and radiator bocor.
But then again, just took a less than 200 buck to settle all of these.

To date, gearbox (touchwood) no issue at all. No jam up which some people told me.

Spare parts I normally bought outside from authorized re-seller from Segambut.
Can bring to dealer SC to do since I m close with the head technician.   

So it's time to change. Not sure its the gasket or what. But it started to consume oil lately.

2K bro 2K ......
