QUOTE(tunasandwich @ May 9 2012, 09:15 PM) still find it difficult to get pass the fact it cost 14K more than the Forte for a lesser engine displacement, less gadgets and drives like a toy and feels floaty. and significant tire noise. someone commented it'll actually tighten the steering above 90KM/H, really wonder how much? and does it improve on stability? but i really like the design.... feels like really paying 112K for the design  During test drive.. I do try to nego a u turn ~50 to 60kmh I guess... Felt the vsm is in action n counter steer a bit. Everyday I went home n there is a straight road.. I'm driving 90 n the steering doesn't feel light at all.. My previous ride is gen2 with stiff suspension.. cornering is damn good. For elantra... I felt there's a slight understeer on the same corner I attack with my gen2.overall I still able to adapt on my elantra.. Just my 2 cent!

Elantra Auto 1.6 HighSpec. The car already arrived, waiting for car plate and some legal procedure >.<
But somehow seems like a lot people have dissatisfaction on the Elantra.

It was true that as the car speeds, the steering will gain weight as according to SA, so call safety feature wor.
I dont usually drive fast, even my mum complain me drive slow sometimes.
My highest record with my Honda City last time was just 150km/h and only happen twice

QUOTE(Blast_Cyrus @ May 9 2012, 10:30 PM) But somehow seems like a lot people have dissatisfaction on the Elantra. Floating lar, Tyre Noise lar.. Alot?  based on what number my friend? This topic? By all means we only few fellas posting. I believe there way more Elantra owner on the road that's not in this forum. How often you speed beyond the speed limit? Not a problem here. Floaty? Don't think so wor. Cause I'm a fat ass. How many same class car give you superb stock tyre? I don't think so too... So no problem right  Don't get us wrong, we are discussing and exchange feedback, most of the owner love their rides. A lease we get no serious malfunction even on test units
