seems a lot problems with elantra, wondering shall i continue my wait or opt for another car

any idea how much over-trade for 1.6 HS? already booked my car in dec, am still waiting though

does ur sterling vibrate as well? if yes, then most probably is due to ur dented rim

booked in dec, still waiting

although i agree with what jeff said but hey, that is no way to treat ur customer like that, no patience at all. as a customer its our right to ask, consider, compare, b4 buying rite?

c'mon man, customer is always right, and u expect customer to call u back, are u doing sales or the customer selling things to u? and then u call them not cool, u first time working and doing sales? talk again like this and i'm sure u can leave hyundai showroom real soon, cuz no one will call u to buy car again. that uncle pushing u but hey, i think majority here think u're also a bit desperate lo, doesnt matter what u think of urself ok, u think u're a saint, ppl think u're desperate, then u're desperate

and who sets the 3 days cooling off period rule? u ar? or customer? dont call u 3 days, pissed off? change job la dont do sales, make urself stress only, btw which showroom u're from ar? dare to tell? will definitely avoid such rude salesperson.

anyone wanna comment further?

hi guys, just got my santo blue elantra 2 weeks ago, very happy with the car, only a few things need your opinion b4 i go for first service:
1. when put in reverse gear, if u do not step on the pedal the car wont move, and since i'm still getting used to it, very hard for me to control when reversing especially if the space at the back is limited. is this normal? i find HE1.6 a bit underpower, and i'm a person who doesnt drive fast.
2. rear windscreen blurr during the day. i think its the reflection from the dashboard at the back, any solution for this? already tinted the rear but still the same
3. for services, in the booklet mentioned first service in 2weeks or 1k mileage, if i dont reach 1k but over 2 weeks, are they ok with it? and the subsequent service as well. plan to send to puchong service centre, are they any good?
4. back middle leather seat finishing a bit cacat, can claim? (not that big part, just around 2inches at the edges can see memang like cacat, poor finishing)
5. do u guys tint the headlamp so that it wont turn yellowish over time? cost around RM200 for both though
6. i think this is quite common, sound system is poor. adding tweeter will void warranty? changing the whole set i think will, right?

other than that everything seems fine, even alignment & balancing also ok. will post pics of the santo blue with bodykit later thanks in advance guys, hope u all can solve my prob

we went back to the shop, they say its due to the thick demister, if redo again result will be the same... and this is from Huper Optik.. i scared the demister will be damaged if i redo again..any advice? in the case if they still refuse to redo, what shud i do?

puchong smart tint. will go again this weekend and talk to them

the boss was not around, and i dont think so we can complain to hq, they're just dealers not directly under huper optik

call this guy 012-2312373 siang i got my car from him..good service good discount, discount also on the bodykit

been driving my 1.6 HS for more than a month now, this is my observation so far:
generally its been good, i like the more luxurious feel when u're inside the car compared to kia forte, preve, rio, city, vios etc(same price range), and we decided to get HE basically bcuz of the design, and i agree the handling can be further improved, its a lil bumpy, but not much complaint from me though. line of sight at rear winscreen is a little to small to me, but still OK. also happy with the fuel consumption of around 500km full tank, mostly city driving. there're a few things i'm not so happy with though,
1. is the paint, i am no expert but coming out from waxing and car wash and i compare my car to others (also new car, like vw etc), HE paint lacks the blinking factor. also, paint job finishing is poor in some parts of the car, i can understand if it is under the hood or places u dont see, but mine is like half done at the bottom of door panel and around it (matt color) but again, u dont see it from the outside, only when u open up your door.
2, finishing of leather seats' leather, and some accessories are left wanting, and you cant claim warranty cuz its too small an issue my front windscreen rubber at the side (dunno wat u all call), is not properly done on the right side and the rubber is hanging out about 1.5 to 2 inches (left side is perfect).
3, i'm starting to believe u get what u pay for, remember we used to say proton car is made of milo tin metal? mine got a few dent already on the top and at the door, it might be due to our carelessness but for all i can guess, it might be due to fruits falling from the tree, of which we never park the car under a tree; and when parking, hit by neighbour car when open door, not sure really, but in 2 weeks, 2 dents, and i hardly drive it in that 2 weeks, either i'm too lucky, or that it lacks the quality, i really dont know, just...sad..
4. sent my car in for 1st service last week, puchong sc next to ioi mall, attitude of staff was good, time management poor, told me 1 hour, ended up 2.5 hours, but still OK, but the car got some scratches after collecting my car only realised upon reaching home.


*i understand there are a group of hardcore HE fans here, so before u start bashing me, please understand i love my car as much as you do and i'm only talking from my own exp. if you say dont expect too much for the price u're paying, i totally agree with u, and i'm so damn happy to get the exterior and interior design that i wanted so bad, but the quality is not up to expectations. overall i'll still say its a good, comfy family sedan car, as for the lack of quality, i'll have to keep reminding myself that i'm not paying a bomb for a HE. cheers

yup yup overall a happy owner. heart pain on the dent cuz still so new
talking bout FC, the eco mode on actually doesnt make a diff, just to show u whether u're using too much petrol or saving? cuz when u acc a bit more the eco light will go off, when light footed the eco light is on again
the 500km mileage is after 1st service, left 1 bar at 450km but with about 50++ km to go, so i assume its about 500km for full tank. even first 1k mileage i managed to register around 450km full tank, just lighten the foot a bit will do the trick ntg secret, and i do drive above 100 km/h once a while
on the FB group, thx for the invitation but i will leave that to my gf as she has been wanting to join and cant wait for TT session, cant wait to show off her santo blue after 6 long mths of waiting. hehe
cheers

not on the road, i guess, plus discounts etc etc, not sure though

nah she drives it over weekdays, for me its only weekend car..hehe
btw about FC, recently pumped ron97, i find ron97 is more fuel consuming, at an additional 40-50% extra cost

yes i have the same issue, everytime hard break, not emergency break, will have that sound, even only me n my gf in the car we had that problem. already mentioned to service centre, will do a check up on our next visit to SC. SC staff got mention if ABS kicks in u'll see ABS light on. any other members have having the same prob?
