most of them are related to career n family matter smile.gif. planning to get married sooner than expected, planning to get professional cert maybe 1 or 2 within 3 years, decided not to showoff tongue.gif , decided to change car within 5/7 years instead of keeping it, n many more...

just to share a story, last week went to kl seeing my sweetheart, test drove elantra 1.8 at glenmarie n feel this is surely be my 1st car, my gf also picked an elantra from a random folded papers (we wrote a list of car which is on our list including elantra, forte, preve, honda, mazda3, inspira, etc)~just for fun laugh.gif

I am not saying that ppl cannot afford the 30k jump not comparing with other C segment car. If so, Elantra is way out compared with forte and preeve. What I am trying to say is the pricing strategy by SD. We are talking about both cars from hyundai and marketed by SD. For that price as compared with Sonata, you can see that Elantra pricing is grossly overpriced. I like this Elantra when launched in Korea around may 2010 and wanted to buy. But the pricing put me off. Moreover, this is Not the same as the car that won North American car of the year2012 with such lower spec
*
Just depends how you want to compare and what you are comparing with. to me the pricing is perfect. you should just get over it and buy sonata instead.. smile.gif

True. I have been waiting for this car. It took so long to launch here in malaysia. And when the waits over they put inokom badge on its body which seriously turns me off.

I went out shopping and saw hyundai put its elantra so i took opportunity to try and seat in it. It was a disappointment. It doesnt have wow factor as went i tried naza forte 6speed before. Upon entering forte and i just awe to see its generous and luxurious offering (compare to my vios). Elantra dont have that. It just feel empty. The only good thing is its exterior.

I wont buy it. and i agree SD kills elantra.
*
Forte cheap plastic with sharp edges, squarish center console, conventional external design are your kind of taste huh. sweat.gif
The only thing I like about Forte is the red backlighted cluster....

Anyway, when I got my car it already came with Hyundai emblem. How it looks like with that Inokom badge I have never got a clue.


edit: mav3rick, wsmw, jusjus88, ihatemyguts... all you guys beat me to it. Boy are you guys fast.

I remembered someone mentioned about water pouring sound.

I heard it too this few days, especially when entering a corner or curve. It sounds like water running thru longkang. Not sure where the sound come from, either near sunroof or rear left hand seat. Only happened when cold start in the morning though.

Anyone else experienced or knew what's the sound ?

was driving on Highway few days back and having down pour. heard some tick tick sound from the driver Window, near head level... it sounds like someone knocking the chassis with fingernail... plan to run some simulation with my garden hose this weekend....

just made a trip to SC..
found out that the spark plug our car uses cost RM200+..

this caused the 40k service time be more expensive than the previous gen despite no transmission fluid change... service rep told me is the kind plug with pointed tip... compared with other normal plug is RM50, but interval is 20k. this still means our plug is twice as expensive as others. I didn't managed to get him to tell me the plug model. any one knows? it should be the same as the current sonata yf..

I don't really care just want to share this out as it might put off some ppl.

wow so fast change spark plug? how many k service are u doing? change to ngk iridium spark plug then. i use it before and can last 60k

No la. I was just questioning about the service cost, next week only will be servicing 1k. Apparently my service center doesnt allow to bring own parts for service. So no choice but to stick with their parts now, including using 10w40 oil......
