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!
