korek... must govt approved price maaa...

you are right bro

This is taken directly from the US version of the 2012 Elantra user manual (which I assume is the same as ours)

"Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency by controlling the engine and transaxle. But fuel efficiency can be changed by the driver's driving habits and road conditions. When the Active ECO button is pressed the ECO indicator (green) will illuminate to show that Active ECO is operating."

"Limitations of Active ECO operation: If the following conditions occur while Active ECO is operating, the system operation is limited even though there is no change in the ECO indicator.
When the coolant temperature is low: The system will be limited until engine performance becomes normal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain power when driving uphill because engine torque is restricted.
When using sports mode: The system will be limited according to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds: The system will be limited, judging that the driver wants to speed up."

Hi bro, I see you've test driven the elantra.
Did you test the 1.8 or the 1.6? And how does it compare with the forte 2.0 and 1.6 in your opinion?
I've these two cars in my consideration as well

Good finding bro
Thats explain why we feel sluggish when floor the pedal. I really upset when SD take out the feature. I cannot imaging how hard when driving to Genting...

if you take blue , red , black ...maybe fast ~

i prefer white.. sa asked me to put another colour option.. but seriously.. i really wan to get white colour only... so >.<'''

Any idea how fast it might be for the red?
Is the red a similar shade as the sonata's or slightly darker/lighter?
Thanks!

Actually I'd tested both several times now. (just wanna make sure and clear my doubts of all the questions)
Now I can say that I am 90% sure to get an Elantra now.
As you know, I am deciding between the 1.6STD and Forte SX and my first has always been the Elantra.

Since I had clear my doubt on the power for both (it's the same for me actually) so I had to go with Elantra.
Sorry, I know I don't really make sense here but just to cut short, I just love Hyundai more than Kia.

red is sonata red lolx , waiting list is depend on loan approval then only put in the queue .

my 1.8 white coming this end of the month ~

How's the power delivery for the 1.6 elantra?
Personally I'm really tempted by the offer for the forte but there's already one in the family (1.6 though), but like you I couldn't get my mind off the elantra.

Congrats! Placed your booking already?
Last time I asked, the SA told me that I'd have to wait 2-3 months for 1.6 and up to 4 months for the 1.8.

Added on April 7, 2012, 11:46 pmMost of the review of the car were 2011 model year, which did not come with Active Eco. You may refer to those reviews when the car was first launched

soon will have elantra owner club :>

Sonata red is not the same Tomato Red as the new Elantra or so I was told by the SA from HQ.

SD did not take out this feature. This feature only available in Korea and US. Exora and Persona also can go to Genting I don't really see any problem with Elantra.

Hopefully I'll get to see one in the metal. Will bug any SA I come across.

Tomato red quite nice

I want it I want it I want it!
Just worried I'll get bored of it a few years from now...

no, thats why i wonder why ppl so worry about road handling.
but malaysia has a lot of pot hole.

but ppl here are nitpicking. kancil 660 also ppl driving siok siok.

1.6 no power, buy 1.8 la. 1.8 expensive, buy the one you can afford la.

its malaysia, we dont biatch like americans. we simply cant. tak suka, keluar la, apa boleh buat? cry ar ?

As mentioned earlier, it's only available during the second batch.
The SA also cause the RED n Santorio Blue was place in the catalogue but it's not available in their first batch.
All the customers are requesting that color. haha!!
