Some reading material on Forte & Elantra comparison. No bias here. Just wanna share the info.
But the Elantra we're having here are stripped down so much and not so similar to what they used to compare with Forte in the article.
But still something for us to think about  biggrin.gif

Features aside, the ride & handling, refinement, performance and interior quality should be very similar to ours.

US version got active ECO mode, which you can switch on/off the ECO. It does affect performance and acceleration of the car.

you are right bro  nod.gif

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

"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."

Good finding bro thumbup.gif
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...

For me, the sound of door closing is acceptable... but i only try on the driver door, not sure about the passenger door.
Personally, i feel the soft/hard plastic of elantra is better than altis and civic, but not sure about sylphy, never try it.
The only thing i dont like about the elantra is the eco is on by default, thats is the reason when you floor the pedal, you will feel slow response of the power....
