Thanks bro. Anyway lazy to purposely go to SC, plan to do my 1st service this weekend, will solve it all together.


To Elantra9336, confirm with shop, the pedal lock quoted to me is Aorto lock, RM380, work similar to Locktech.


By the way, I found that my 1.8, even before 1st service, the fuel consumption is quite reasonable. I think the bar is distributed quite evenly, Penang to Ipoh around 2.5bar, did some city driving, come back to Penang another 2.5bar dropped. Maybe the last 2-3 bars drop a little faster, but it is due to pure city driving back here.

Distance travelled: 473km
HW/ City: 55/ 45
Driving style: Moderate footed
No of ppl: Mostly 2
Filled up (full tank): 39.05 ltr (RM74.20)
Avg speed: 51kmh
Avg l / 100km (self calculated) : 8.26
*Highway l / 100km (110kmh): 6.2

It is ok if you really didn't notice it purposely.
A picture worths a thousand word. What we discussed here is tail light on during night. Civic 8gen has full tail light, Elantra by default has half.

Hmm, but I think bigger CC only shines if car is driven continuously and maintain at higher speed. Stuck in jam, FC easily shoot up to the roof.

Maybe 1.8 is better for mid speed acceleration, hope the 2k summon fine won't be implemented
However, for city driving, 1.8 little bit overkill.

Complaints from me:
1. Broken boot latch, detached spring.
2. Vibration sound from rear cargo side

Other minor comment:
1. 1.8 ride is a little bit harsh over uneven road, maybe due to over pressure from factory and low profile tyre.

So far I am still curious on how does our 1.8 elantra compare to Civic FD 1.8, in terms of engine power, gear shifting speed & intelligent and NVH? Always wanted to try the FD but no stock.

Always heard from those Honda lovers praising how good the FD is, but anyone can clarify? Just out of my curiousity.

To shitoryuu:

I think you guys misunderstood my meaning. What I wanna say is, lower cc no matter what, will consume less fuel in city driving. For highway driving, it all boils down to power to weight ratio and gear ratio. 1.8 will be about comparable to 1.6 due to less throttle to maintain speed if there is slight slope. Afterall, the most important is still your right leg.

But agree with you higher cc definitely is more joy to drive. Can't wait for the 1st service, wanna let my car rev past 4k rpm (have been controlling very well to let car not rev above 4k rpm).

Nothing to comment on the boot latch, but a bit disappointed with SD assembly.

For suspension, maybe I am used to softer suspension car, Elantra 1.8 is a bit on the hard side, but I am definitely getting to use with it now. I have to say, the handling is very good, much better than what I expected from a Korean car, corner at high speed can feel that body roll is much less than my previous car.

Neuton car acc, jalan pahang, georgetown area.

The guy said need to order for elantra lock.

Wah, ur 1.8 also have noisy boot sound ? However, dont think it is a serious problem though.. Have to admit that 1.8 dual zone auto climate aircone is a little bit noisier than 1.6 one.
