Just came back from the test drive this morning, tested both 1.6 HS and 1.8.

Some thoughts

1.6

Build quality is quite decent
Engine performance really lacking especially when you take 4 ppl in the car, 2 person is still alright.
Interior space is generous and good looking exterior
Handling is a bit on the soft side, good while going over bumps and normal driving. But there is no chance to hit a corner during the test drive, too many cars on the road.

1,8

Same build
Way better engine performance compare to the 1.6, but i still feel the altis/civic has better torque
Same interior, better leather
Same handling

Conclusion.
Overall is an ok car but I would go for the 1.6 low spec the only difference is the panaromic steering adjustment that most ppl do not need. But do note the VSC, its a good safety feature but not compulsory, been driving without 1 for years.

*Leather is shit, the 1.6 leather feels like plastic and cheap. The 1.8 supposedly nappa leather doesn't feel like it but its better than 1.6. I think the inspira 2.0 leather is way better than them.

Bad decision by SD, they should omit the leather or make it optional and slash 2k of the price.

actually im still confuse about the super vision cluster whts that?

I think in US, the car has the eco button, where you can turn off the eco mode and changes the settings.

Seems like our version, eco mode is always on, and off it when you accelerates. I think the engine settings is different

so we are getting a 2011 car by SD.... what a rip-off

i suspect the current model is 2011 , since it was delay since last year

im surprise no one talk about the 1.6 (A) standard spec.

Anyone saw the car? i see all the review is always about the high spec and the 1.8.

guys, anyone know what is the interest rate for the elantra?

whats the lowest interest rates you guys get?
