local assembly quality.
but import pricing.

Fixed. 1UP for you brother.

I am not so sure with the tyre brand. but Elantra 1.8 one quite quiet for me oh. But too bad my 1.6 is NCT
The gearbox of Elantra is very responsive so it will downshift once you deepen the gas. So you need to be gentle with the throttle
Actually not body very light, all because of the steering coz there is no feedback at all. So it is down to your habit. I have used to their steering so i am fine with that.

I agree but I went to kl auto few times have seen new civic, Camry , Mazda ,golf,polo, sonata all going for soundproofing so nvh quite subjective

Yes price is a concern but my main concern is warranty and fc, to be honest elantra worldwide has proven its value depends if we want to accept

If you read most of the reviews it's 90% positive and by the way the nvh is not just an issue in Malaysia , it's the same complain all over the world.

Inspira 2 airbags
If you think that 112k is too much to pay then you really should look elsewhere. maybe you are looking for better driving dynamics

Some1 plz tell me, elantra is 100% better than Potong and vios, city~~~~~~~

The Elantra is definitely better than Vios or City because how could a C-segment sedan be worst than a B segment sedan.

Do anyone knows whether the power fold mirror can be installed in the aftermarket accessories shop? Anyone hv any idea where it can be done?

I definately gonna change the continental tyre to low noice one once i get the car.

Yup. The car that satisfies the most needs is the best.

Added on April 8, 2012, 9:56 pmNot 100% better than them coz elantra is less conservative and not as powerful＾＾
Handling may not be as good as some potong also because Elantra is all about comfort, design, fuel economy

Actually.. Elantra is decent in the looks department... nothing more le.. price, power, functions nothing to shout about... there are better ones else where.

Should try to look at which is more balanced right? Every car has their pros and cons.
Altis is powerful and fuel efficient but handle badly and quite tight inside also expensive. Civic also powerful and handles well but the ride is too firm for some and the powertrain is not as advanced. Sylphy very spacious but handles badly and lack of features. Mazda3 is powerful ,sporty and loaded with features but very tight back seat and quite noisy. For me Elantra is adequately powered, spacious, packed with features that met my need, very responsive gearbox and the ride is comfort enough although the engine is loud at higher rev, steering is very light and don't handle as well as Civic and Mazda3. So overall the car is quite balanced because there is nothing to shout for but also nothing very bad or lousy. And one of the very important factor is depending on your perception with the brand. I believe many people never own a korean car before so more or less there will be some weird feeling.

Thank you guys, I could see ntg impossible to own this car!!!

Why hyundai dun give the LED door step or map light, this car is lack of interior LED light.

Any1 knw which sifu good in installing LED light?

Test drove the elantra 1.8 today, engine is quite loud, the brochure shows Garmin but real car uses papago. 2 airbags only?? Dashboard plastic feels, err, a little bit cheap.

Will void warranty or not?

yes... loud coz its revving at low speed (pick up)... got say its garmin meh?

dashboard top portion okay la... aircond downwards and the doors....
