Bro fluidic trying to say indirectly that a windscreen come oem empty.. Why need bracket?? Just pry out the existing stuff and sensors that's it.. It's a empty glass with black dots nearby the place u stick ur rear view mirror n sensor

Pry is a hard term I dunno how they take it out but they take out my existing stuff n stick it back even the rear view mirror bracket oso they use gum to stick back

Ok, regarding the windscreens on the 1.8 Elantra, I found out a few things.

- Light sensors is not stuck to the windscreen, it's located center of the dashboard.

- All the gizmo you see above the rear view mirror are the rain sensor systems + GPS receiver.

- All are stuck on the windscreen using adhesive tapes, no screw no bolts into the windscreen.

- The front windscreen is different from the 1.6, BUT, so does every other pane of glass on the 1.8. Other than the fact that 1.8's glasses are slightly tinted, there's no indication that it's in any way 'special'.

My wife and I were waiting for this car since last year. She decided to change her old Honda city to the all new elantra. Went and test drive today the elantra 1.6 high spec. To our surprise, the 1.6 feel very under power. The dashboard quality is bad especially the air con control norb. Feels and looks like a cheap plastic painted silver or something like that. The ride comfortness is no different than the honda city. Even I feel the 1.5 city has better pick up. Overall, the exterial look good. But quality wise for interior, inOkom has made the elantra look very cheap. I was expecting more from this car but it let us down and dissapointment. For the price is deffinately not worth buying.

i am not bashing on elantra,just my 2 sen
PS:i ask the SA why so underpowered,he say this test drive car pumped ron95 so will abit underpowered,try put ron97 then will more power
like that FC die la..wan pump ron97...zzzz

To those that tested drive the 1.6 and commented that it is sluggish, I believe it will get better over time when more mileage is done. Plus I believe most modern cars come with an ecu that will adapt to your driving style. But of cuz for better weight to power ratio, the 1.8 would be better. There's one more thing that I don't understand, for a c segment car, how can they include anything less than a 2.0 engine, in this case the 1.8... Sigh...

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

Do Malaysian travel a lot on windy mountain roads?

Most 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
