ehehe bro steven, i think you replied the wrong person..

i'm more into hyper silver

btw bro steve, since you've been driving hyundai cars longer than most of us here, i believe you will be the best person to advise on the cost of spare parts and service. would appreciate your advise on the availability and also the 'cost' of parts. With so many 3s centres being setup by SD, can we assume that there will be better availability (and cheaper) parts?
anyway.. bro bufung.. how is your decision like??

i have removed one option from my list liao.. the FD1.8 no more stock due to the impending arrival of the 2012 civic in June

Opss .. sorry .. wrong replied.
I don't actually have any major warranty claim issue to begin with.
Drove my Accent for 7 years and no major issues which I need to claim warranty.
I went to a small dealer shop and they are very fast in delivering the goods or spare parts too.
They didn't asked me to come back next week cause need to wait for the parts.
As for the quality of the services, cannot compare to T & H professionalism over at their 3S lo.
Hyundai SC is picking up since the first day I was there. Not as good as T & H but at least they are improving.
Never been to Hyundai 3S and try before so i can't comment on that.
Small dealers more flexible and I can talk with the main mechanic and boss (discounts!!) so I know what is happening to my car. If you are really close to the mechanic like i did, I brought my own air filters, air cond filters (believe me this is not cheap at all, center charges 300++ I bought less than 50) break pads and some other stuff for them to change when the boss is not in.

I have mentioned in FB that the blue in this photo looks drab and dull. Not striking enough. Maybe due to lighting and angle. That is why have to see up close. have not heard anyone gotten their santo blue. Heard from my SA there is one in HQ but not sure if he can arrange for me to view it.
