Depends. If ur priority is driving dynamics and quietness, then switch. If it's spaciousness, definitely a no no. I dare to say interior is even smaller than a Mazda 3. I just went test drive last weekend.
Further more feature really lose out to HE comparing the 116k mode

Yup test drove focus very good driving dynamics and sound insulation. I just can covet without auto cruise for 116k car and so small size interior. Airbags really good offering.

Good read and truthfully written. I just don't understand how the interior size for both cars are measured same?

Good writeup. Exactly my experience except the side door panel. Material used top notch, but assembly quality suffered. Already rattling heard on the test unit I was on. Already lost confidence with cbu Thai since my ex car

Black color. He he

Pls don't talk about resale value in this thread. I'm Malaysia, only talk about resale value in T & H thread, if u don't mind their car getting uglier and more boring.

Those who bought vw, Peugeot, ford, Hyundai etc. We prefer to buy them and enjoy wat we like, not wat others like to offer many yrs done the road.

Wah which sc?

Good things come to those who wait

Able to decide if time cancel booking after budget announcement. Able to get new year car.

For those still in doubt
Watch "Hyundai Elantra vs Volkswagen Jetta" on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPH7A1ml8iI...be_gdata_player

If u still wait for new new ap. Then u will never buy a car. We all know wat happened to the promises and the outcome of the previous new AP...

If u have already booked either thru lower price. Don't let go. With thru turtle output, I foresee u will just get car in 2013
Even if u get in 2012, the 2/3k difference I'd already equivalentto 1 yr depreciate value, considering Hyundai car lower 2nd hand value

I wonder y so many like to talk about focus here? No separate thread for focus?

Or just ur ass is too big

Sure get it cheap. If u sell irritating after 6 yrs. Each year depreciate 3k. End up the same. Remember by then the sell rate is based on the increased price value

Did u check with other dealers to see what discount u can get for a 2013 model? But on hindsight, no dealer will give u good discounts now for 2013 models. Too early in the cycle.

But i think ull get more discounts if ure prepared to wait for the Elantra's competitor to arrive which is the 2013 Kia Forte K3. That is if ure not in a hurry to get a car. There would be more product launches in 2013 hence more competition for the Elantra.

Car resale values usually drop about 5-6% every year. So if ure getting a 5K discount for a 2012 model, that 'advantage' is lost by Jan 2013. So by then, ure back to even.

Hence, if i were you and i didnt have any urgency to change, i would wait for 2013. The discounts will improve as the Civic sales are improving day by day.

[/quoted]
Wat competitor? Hyundai owns Kia. Tat is why u see both their models so sexy

Yes it's also smart enough to give warning and won't lock if u accidentally leave the key inside the car. I have tested if u leave it in the bag in the boot, the doors in front also won't lock.
They don't call it smart entry without reason...

continuos Beeps
Just tested. If u locked the doors, then forgot ur key is in the bag and put the bag in the boot to lock it, car will also beep. U can still open the boot even though ur key in the boot.
Smart !

Ohhh didn't know. Was driving T&H previously no luxury to own this feature even though priced higher. Thanks for the info!

The tank is definitely smaller than my previous altis. FC the same to me

I can also tell u cbu alts from Thai build quality is also above all. Rattle every where after 1 month driving. I know coz it's my ex car
