Just test drive Elantra 1.6 and 1.8A on saturday. Feel that 1.6 is under power compare to 1.8 model.

My demand is more to fuel effeciency.

Compare to forte which use 7.5 litre for 100 km (2.0) and 7 litre for 100 km (1.6) model...elantra give more kilometer.

For elantra (1.8), it maybe use 5.8 liter for 100 km. (I calculate for using US 40mpg) That means a lots to me since the election is near by....

Since indonesia fuel price is hike 33% last month, do you think our fuel price will not going the same way?

Think again.
*
the price difference is 14K, how long do you think Elantra would take to save that amount worth of fuel?

If FC is your main concern, you should consider the Prius.

Finally managed to test drive the car in glenmarie today. Tested the 1.6 n 1.8 version.

To be honest, i was hoping for alot especially with all the hype this car has gotten. I got in the 1.6 version first. Interior qquality was ok. But i cant understand why the doors were still using hard plastic at this level.

Steering felt light at high speeds.not good at all. Power at lowrpm was ok, but the moment u floor the pedal,rpm goes up to 6k but hardly any power felt.

Verdict: very underpower

Then it was the 1.8 version. Got in, nice touchscreen greeted me b
Although a bit laggy. Was expecting more power. But unfortunately power was more or less the same as 1.6 version. Hardly any power at high rpms.noisy engine .

Verdict: underpowered and overpriced.

No doubt the designof exterior n interior is good. But the materials they use are of cheap quality . Cheapo leather seats. Rear seats super cramp as car has very low roofline.

Overall verdict: i cant understand who will buy this car . Its a good try by hyundai but doesnt even come close to toyota altis in terms of refinement. Even my previous honda city 1.5 had more power.

are they open on sundays? need to make appointment one?

talk about rear head room and legroom..i purposely sit at the back and let my wife test drive.

I am 180cm tall and yes, if u sit straight at the back, the roof is just inch away, but who's gonna sit straight at the back for the whole journey ?

talk about leg room, my knee didnt touch the front seat at all for the whole journey.

are those testers all big size american or what ? or they are expecting a legroom of a limousine coz the price are 10k more than forte ?
*
hard to say one... i think those with longer body and shorter legs, will feel very tight in the rear room.... where else leg long body short person will feel okay...

my friend is taller than me bout 2-3CM, but when we're both in the rear seats, i feel very clsoe to the roof, while my fren's one is still acceptable....

Door thump cannot compare with Civic at all.... doors hard plastic really big let down...

I feel 1.8 is not underpower at all... but car feel damn light.... almost wobbly compared to Civic 2.0.... rear passenger complain exhaust very loud when tekan at low speed (revving)...

and who said the NVH is good at the drivers seat needs to get their ears checked... i tested the Pug 308T and Civic 2.0 right after Elantra... and i feel NVH still a long way for the Elantra... do u agree?

NVH is not all about engine noise. Overall 308 is the best but tyre roar of Elantra is definitely much better than Civic. At higher rev Elantra is noisier than Civic but in normal driving I can't really tell any big difference between Elantra and Civic:P
*
erm... Civic new one comes with what tyre ah? Elantra one i saw is Continental... should be lauya one right?

Engine noise for the 1.8 is loud too... is like sikit sikit it tries to rev d.. so i feel when i try to give it a bit more power, it goes into 3500 - 4000, before upshifting from 3rd to 4th...

dunno why so slow to upshift?

does it not feel wobbly? and corners? like very light... don't dare to press, have to hard break.... Pug one most chun, tbh but interior too "french" for my taste...

where else the Civic and Pug upshifts very smoothly...

sighz... now gotta try Mazda... last hope

Exactly bro, NVH still a decade away to achieve, but i can accept that bcuz is from Hyundai. Speed, Throttle, Torque is not the main purpose for

Elantra buyers.

However, i m very doubt about the parts installment quality from Inokom.

Any1 knw 2nd badge of elantra will be better than current wan? i dun mind pay even more but promise to get more upgrades.

it really begs the question... 112K, is this price reasonable?

Inspira how many airbags?

u mean nothing money can't solve....

bro if money not a concern for u.... plenty of other choice...

i think Elantra is great, the price just make me think at least 100 times more... if it's wise to really pull the trigger for this one....

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.

Dunno why the dashboard  doesnt feel as solid as the civic. Well actually i just quote what my mom said, she's driving a civic currently
*
yup! exactly same thought i have. I guess hard plastic have a few grade as well. most importantly, the surface of the hard plastic for the Civic is so much more refined, somehow.

I agree.  My family has a forte, and while the quality is pretty good as well, I still found the elantra's better, and felt more premium.

since u haf a forte in the family, can i ask, do u think the price diff is worth it for the Elantra?

Guys, i have to say bye bye to Elantra because 1st batch no dark blue for 1.8. I don't have time and patient to wait for another 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 months for second batch. Really "hello impossible" for me  cry.gif

I really like this car very much from the bottom of my heart, i wish this car can change or even dominate malaysian c-segment market like that Forte does  rclxms.gif

I am not happy because SD should have told me earlier that which color are not available  mad.gif

Good bye Mr. impossible!!!

since when Forte dominates teh C-seg market? doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif
