My SA just called me again saying SD doesn't want to register my car although my car already at showroom so I can't collect the car. He told me to help him to call and complain to SD. He said the delay is because I change my colour from white to silver but then SD can't do this right since changing colour only what.

Hyper or sleek silver, u can't go wrong
Although sleek seem to shine/reflect more...

Sleek silver got stock meh? U getting 1.6?

Didn't know 1.6 got hyper dy. congrats!!! I remember u waited very long. How many months now? Haha.

wah dato u booked jor ar? how long the SA told u need to wait? 

It's time i did a writeup comparing Apple to Apple. This case is the current 1.8G Altis(4 yrs old) vs 1.8 Elantra(2 weeks old). Both in the C segment.

1) Size
You will be suprised with this. I did.
I took a ruler to measure the back seat width. Elantra is wider than Altis by 1cm!! (Altis is already wider than Civic). It's the black interior of Elantra that gives illusion it's narrower than Civic/Altis.
As for leg room. Elantra is on par with Civic.
Headroom loses out to both Civic and Altis, but if u lay down and relax, you can have all the legroom you want. I guess you cant have it all if you want sportiness together with headroom?

2) Design
Up till today i can still stare at the car park outside my house and wonder how amazing the designer team has done with this car    Design wise, this car will still be way ahead of it's competitors 5 yrs down the road in Malaysia. Remember that this model has been launched in US 2 yrs ago, and I still do not see any new cars that can beat it's design in foreign magazines. Mazda should be able to catch up soon I believe, provided they dont take the new Honda Civic way...

3) Features
Elantra wins hands down. I loved the nappa leather, GPS/USB/Ipod, auto light on/off, auto wipers(on/off/speed), NO WOOD Trim!! SMART entry!! Sunroof!! Dual aircond however is overrated. ISOFIX no chance to use it yet.
Altis wins in term of power fold mirror, tweeter, much better audio quality(antenna,speaker), boot will open up 30degress once unlocked, and a full spare tyre.
btw, Elantra 1.8 china mari audio unit SUCKS! radio reception bad, CD song play halfway will jump to radio channel, GPS keep prompting cannot read SD card etc. and the black push button cover fell off when i collect my car 
1.6 is better as using back original unit.

4) Drive handling
Elantra has stiffer,bumpier ride to accomodate better turning around the corner. Less body roll (Continental Maxcontact)
Altis is more on comfort but very huge body roll (Michellin XM2)
Both are on Torsion beam. I have no problem with it as Elantra is meant for comfort drive. If you want to race, go Mazda/Civic(Not the new Civic pls!)

5) NVH
Elantra wins hands and legs down. i have never expected a car can be so quiet.
It's so quiet now that i can hear any minor rattle coming out from the interior including the leather rubbing against leather 
Road noise and wind noise is much much lower than Altis even when hit 100km/h
Engine noise, Trust me , its on par between 1.8 Altis. Both are noisy.    Only thing is Altis is more responsive. This cannot be said with Elantra 1.6 however. During the test drive, it kept shifting like out of breath. and with the constant shifting, its noisier.
And they say Altis is more quiet than Civic. So go figure...

6) FC
The Altis i owned and trade in was 4 gears, but the exterior is the same as current design.
FC Elantra only slighthly better. I manage to achieve 400km per tank (90% highway driving and works within KL). For Elantra I can get approx 430km. I am not sure about the run in period as will be only doing the 1st service next week.

7) Value for money
Definitely Koreans brands(Forte/Hyundai). Japanese brands nowadays only selling by brand name and minimal feature. Even if Mazda, in order to get specs like this in C segment, you need to go MPS (approx rm130k)
Furthermore, new model japanese cars are increasing in price and reducing in features(Camry)/space(Civic). I have been a loyal fan of japanese cars for the past 10 yrs, and sadly its time to say goodbye.
Summary:
Problem is only some rattle noise from the dashboard i need to fix during first service.
I never dare to imagine that i now felt like upgraded to a BMW from Altis. Never regretted it once and never looked back since

hi have u got your car?

u say soon since early of the year, why your loan not approve?

1.8 or 1.6?

1.6

I think don't have leh. For sure altis don't have. Can anyone using pc go Honda.com.my check? My iOS cannot support flash

Ryan wat happened??
I thought u said ur 1.6 hyper arrive dy?

Just call SD and the CS said that the by mid of June, their manufacturing operation team will issue out an official memo to answer all out complaints.  Looks like they delay one week. I try to push hard to squeeze out some answer from him and he try to turn around to avoid answering my question. But he mistaken said out that SD quoted the spec given is based on EU regulation. The way i feel after hearing his explanation that SD will use EU as an excuse to avoid fixing the half tail lamp and tweeter. I told him the tweeter is nothing doing with EU regulation since it is to enhance the audio quality and the full tail light is to made the HE more nicer and it won't break any EU regulation what He is very steady and said it is not finalised yet and advice me to be patient for another week. All the sales branch will received the official memo and the SA will inform us. We also can check with him middle of next week.

queue number does not necessarily reflect your wait time..

i called last month (May 25th to be exact) to enquire about my queue number and was told i am 1687th on the queue, 65th for hyper silver at that point of time.. my loan was approved on april 30th btw..
kinda shocked actually.. i was told i will probably need another 2-3 months time before i can get my allocation which will roughly be around Aug. but i learned yesterday that i already have a chassis number allocated 
makes me question the integrity of the queue number actually.. but i dun really care much about it

so dun trust the queue number.. the CS saying u will get ur car within 4 months is just based on their SOP. u will probably get an allocation sooner than you expect as in my case
