QUOTE(stix @ Jul 13 2012, 02:37 PM) hi guys, don't mean to crash the thread but i just had a look on both civic and elantra during lunch since my girl is opting for a new car. in my honest opinion, for that amount of money, elantra wins in terms of value for money but quality and refinement, i have to hand it to honda. despite the 'ugly' interior pictures that we see everywhere, the moment you sit inside the civic, it feels 'right' and in fact, more comfortable. then again, the 1.8 has nothing so i guess the only thing to consider here is affordability  my girl is actually picking between the 1.8 elantra and civic hybrid. If I am you I will buy my girl a Polo TSI. Just a thought. Easier for her to park. Smaller car suitable for girl. Amazing fuel consumption. And best of all it's German This post has been edited by xrossf1re: Jul 13 2012, 02:42 PM

QUOTE(xrossf1re @ Jul 13 2012, 02:31 PM) Will it void the warranty if like that? You bring your own oil? If you use good quality engine oil rather than the shell they are giving it's in fact protect your engine better and thus you don't even need to worry about it voiding your warranty.

What I mean is, do they allow us to go every 10k instead of every 5k. Like some car manufacturer, you must follow strictly their service schedule. Everytime you go for a service they will stamp on the service booklet or something. Once you missed a service, they will void the warranty.  If they allow us to go every 10k with full synthetic oil without voiding our car warranty, that's really a good news!!

QUOTE(xrossf1re @ Jul 13 2012, 02:01 PM) LOL too paranoid la bro. 10k is the standard for servicing now. I think you cannot drive VW cars, will flip out. 15,000k service once, 45,000km only service 3 times.  Probably..  Gotta re-tune my thinking a bit too haha

Hehe i get what you mean. For me, Civic is definitely out. If I'm willing to spend around RM119k for Civic Hybrid, I will go for the latest Ford Focus 2.0. Either that or Elantra  My 2cents.

But I asked around 3 SC in JB, none of them allow to bring own oil even if it's way better quality. I don't mind using Shell, but one of the reason why we are getting lower gas mileage is because they are using 10W40 rather than 5W30 which our car (in fact all new cars) prefer. Can we do a petition to Hyundai? BTW, when is my request for the FB close group approve? I sent the request few weeks back, and again yesterday. No sound no air one ... Can help me check check?
