You need to sign letter of waiver of responsibility first



I seen the car catalog, by far the best quality catalog so far from Hyundai. Sadly dealers are not allowed to take them yet

This will make u wanna buy elantra

seriously can do it???

just dont buy 1.6 like forte....until they give free upgrade etc after 2nd batch lol

My colleague bought the 6 speed 1.6SX Forte. The acceleration was miles better than the 1.6 Elantra even with 5 adults on the car. Even the owner of a 2.0GT Lancer agreed to this. You drove the old 4-speed forte?

There are a few kind of Hyundai doubters out there

The first kind is the previous bad experience doubter

The second kind is the doubter with a curious mind why is Hyundai doing so well compared to last time

The third kind and sadly the biggest majority kind, is the kind that are defensive about their POV against Hyundai, and will never agree to any clear strong point in a Hyundai car.

Selling 4 Elantra per month won't be hard, after all, I can sell 'overpriced LM and YF' just to about anyone monthly. 4-5 cars' commission is more than what some people's basic salary is working in some company for years.

Why not try working in car sales a month and rethink what you assumed?

My showroom has been understaffed since opening 4 years ago, because many comes and go thinking selling 2-3 cars per month can become overnight millionaire.

I live a simple life, unlike many Malaysians. My expenses planning of about RM1,000 per month still I have extra to spend on my gf.

How big is your 'group'?

aiyoh if you can accept the forte looks, long time also should have bought la no need to wait elantra.. for the price/spec comparison naza is way stronger.

is this after you read he sell 4-5 cars also can untung alot liao.. 

yes the spare tyre is those emergency size.  The well look like it can fit a 17".

SD and Hyundai is trying hard to move up the food chain.  There's quite an investment in the preview event and it certainly don't look like a budget car launch.  If SD can knock a few thousand off, this look sure hit.

The AVN unit is certainly a local spec-ed thing.  The GPS is Papago and i think its version M3.  I took a look at the reverse camera attached at the back, look like its a double side tape work, i may be wrong but it sure look like another local addition.  The AVN though i suspect is local, fit nicely in and i was told all the steering control work with the AVN.  One give away is the AVN come with bluetooth but i cant see any call answer button on the steering.  Doesn't make sense if the handfree button is located right in the middle of the center console unless its an after thought.

2 thing I notice misisng is the retracable side mirror and the light on the door when you open the door (kinda like warning to others there is a object).  no big deal but i expect these on a "premium" spec.

If i compare the spec with the other Japs, this is certainly 1 up compared to Civic and Altis 1.8 model.  This come with Nappa leather, "integrated" AVN, sunroof etc. but RM112k OTR may be a little too much to ask for a Hyundai for now.  The Korean will shed their budget tag one day, just like the Japs did but probably this gen Elantra come too soon for some of us.

if i have to make the choice, a few thousand discount will help but right now, i'll hold my on and see if there is any promotion in the future.

Nice one but not sure abt the gf part.

Headroom is sacrificed by the beauty of the roofline
Rusty disc brake is very common one. You may check your brake after raining or washing car no matter it is a new or old car

It is better to test drive the car at different showrooms to confirm. Sometimes you test a car but the car tuning is out then you will have a feeling of the car being lousy. Elantra cannot be the hottest car in USA for nothing. :-)

Think i will start a group in fb to get polls of number of people who disagree with elantra pricing or any idea what sort of polling would be the best.

not sure if that is gonna achieve anything.. its just wishful thinking... FB/LYN does not represent the majority of Malaysians looking at this car.

anyway.. pretty please.. for those who tested, can anyone confirm if the rear view window is ECM? the specs on the first page says that it is..

No ECM. The rear view mirror got no sensor and power light on it.

ECM functions when the sensor detect light of certain brightness and dim the mirror. Can check out the one on Forte.
