Booked mine, 1.8 on 1st May @ Penang Island, till now still waiting getting my car. I think the 1.8 waiting period should be "minimum 2 months ETA". Not sure for 1.6 HS.

SA couldn't even estimate when is the next batch coming. Just asked me to wait for good news.

oh no bro... it's real bad this happened to you.

Is there no other way for you to come out on top from this mess? Seriously, this ain't your fault. Why must you get punished from the things that is not your doing?!

I too had an episode with agent and HQ.
- booked Ceramic White as 1st priority color and Hyper Silver as 2nd priority color
- after a month from the booking date, I called up HQ to check my queuing list
- after some bla..bla..bla.. he told me my booking color is Sleek Silver and no 2nd priority color stated
- I asked HQ guy to get things straight with my agent
- later that day, HQ guy feedback telling me he has spoken to my agent and already made correction on my car color(s)
- I asked him, do I need to start the queuing all over again? Because for hell I will not accept as this is mis-communication between agent and HQ and I as a customer has nothing to do with it. HQ guy said no need, just continue queuing..

Hopefully not..

It was the SD customer service guy that confirmed no need to start queuing.
But since it happened you too, I'll check on it tomorrow with SD customer service.



Maybe a SUV?

Yeah, I was considering Tucson and Sportage but not 308....

Test drove Tucson 2.0 HS last week, the suspension is more towards firm ride.
The 2.0 engine, for me is sufficient enough for daily usage.
But for HS model, the spec wasn't really high to begin with.

Haven't test drive Sportage yet..

My SA informed me ETA within July, and I was hoping around mid-July. But then again, within July is better than August .. I'll double confirm with HQ tomorrow ..

The same SA that I booked my Elantra only gave me rm 1000 discount.

I don't think that is a good offer. But I haven't check with other SA from different outlet yet..

But the Tucson 2.0 HS really lack of specs..
- no dual zone AC
- no cruise control
- no touch screen display HU with GPS
- no full leather seat
- no auto rain sensor
- no electric seat (even for a driver's side)
- SA told me no auto headlight (but if not mistaken, brochure stated have)
- rear middle seat safety belt is located on top of the head roof. Weird position if you ask me..

and the price to pay is extra rm 2x,xxx compared to Elantra 1.8

Optima K5 =

As for Peugeot car, do make more research on its Turbo Prince engine.. many owners facing problems with the engine.

I always favor to drive a sedan, but have the heart to own a SUV. So kinda dilemma.. lol ...

yea.. sometime I wish I could straggle the angel of music that is in my head.

OperaGhost, I really want you to try one more time with SD HQ, if same outcome.. then update us on what will be your new ride.

Ok bro.. time to rest.. tomorrow having a big day (calling SD HQ) lol ...

hi bro,

Maybe you could speak with SD customer service Faris @ 1300-132-000

I related your case to him. He also agreed that you shouldn't have to start your queuing.

The scenario given that customer have to start queuing is when:
Initially booked unpopular color, half way customer changed mind and opt for popular color, hence customer have to start over his/her queuing.

You may refer your case to him and see what helping he can provide to you. No harm in trying.

By the way, my queuing is on track, hopefully there won't be any unforeseen circumstances delaying my ETA.

Stunning looking car.. but off budget.

wah... that's fast in getting your 1.8 .... where is your location?

I booked mine on 1st May, 1.8 @ Creamy White @ Penang Island.
Will only be getting my car within this month / July.

I thought you were going for a SUV

Hopefully.. everything goes smoothly in getting your civic.

Bro, just asking, what if ... "in order to make it up to you due to their error", your Elantra SA called saying they will allocate a car for your collection in 2 weeks time if you're still interested.. what would you do? Choose Elantra or Civic?

Really happy for you.. so fast in getting your car.

guys,

I've booked 1.8 creamy white on 1st May. Till now haven't receive my car yet.
And I'm cancelling my booking.

And here I'm asking, anyone planning to get HE with the same spec + colour choice as mine in Penang Island?

I can intro you to my SA, and he will explain what needed do in order for new taker to continue using my queue
Won't be 100% succeed in getting my queue but worth trying.

But must use a woman name to purchase.

Those interested can PM me for my SA contact.

I'll put on hold my cancellation until 24th August. Once he submit my cancellation form, there won't be anyway the SA could try in getting new taker to continue using my queue.

Good to know your SA succeed in using this method to help you shortened your waiting period.

I got 100% booking fee refunded
