Steve, FD2 remain strong for many more years considering to replace the vios ... no one has the latest price list?

Normally. All elantra has that. Engine recalibration for next startup.

Engine recalibration? mind to explain more?

TQTQ

i just updated the latest price list but seemed like not much of a diff.
The 1.6 HS seemed to be 98K still and some mentioned they are giving 3K discount.

What to do. After sohai umw toyota revealed the upcoming new altis(no vsc) pricing, kia and retains the cheapest most affordable and value for money c segment car in malaysia still. Not to forget most yeng...
So dont expect kia and Hyundai lower their car or use except salesman discount. Umw really spoil price market here.

Excerpt from other countries owner comments:

"Mine does the same and the Hyundai technician who checked it owns an Elantra GT as well. He told me it's completely normal and said it's the car's main relay cutting off power to transmission selenoids and such. Nothing to worry about."

"I have the same noise. I brought it back to the dealer last Monday and they compared it to other Elantras. I was told that the sound is the throttle body resetting, and something about the emissions system. You're not alone. I think it's normal."

So to your answer, the sound is the mechanism inside engine bay spinning down, shutting off, park. Mine does that too.

If you hear other noise then the 3 "tak", then you need to check.

The guru has spoken. Now u explained it, this reminds me of my older generation hard disk shut down and parking the disk . ..there is actually a command for it in DOS

My SA told me Elantra Hyper Silver now out of stock T_T
need wait~
Got tomato red, clean blue , white n black

Anyone know which branch got hyper silver??

if KL i think you can try your luck in a few branches..

Macam very canggih. Good good.

Hi all,

I'm now considering a elantra to be my wishlisht,
may I know what will be the issues/problems that current elantra have?

I also notice that is a new 2014 elantra facelift launch in korea last year, may I know when it will launch in Malaysia?

Thank you for your answers first.

U saw the new price list for K5 right?

They increased by 6K to become 149,888

Imo, the elantra might be increase price for facelift model... As all can see the stupid kosong altis car gonna launch... 114k for kosong spec 1.8... LOL! Our elantra are comparable to their 2.0v range which sell at 136k!!!

Seriously, UMW is the culprit here and i would never go to them anymore... Now am superb happy with my elantra...

By the way, my 1.6 elantra is 1 week old, fc is 11l/100km for 75% city, 25% highway.. Is it normal? I think its quite high er...

Welcome bro to the kimchi family
As for your high FC it will get better after your first 5K service most of the time.
And along the time you will get better FC after you get use of the pedal control.
Most of the owners improved their FC along the time.
Just give it some time bro

i tot some ppl said car nowadays no need break in?

If there really no stock on hyper silver, i might consider taking ceramic white.
But isit very hard to maintain bcoz easy get dirty n yellowish

All the Sifu, Thanks first for the opinion

What i read from the user manual is for first 1000km:

1) Dont drive at constant speed.
2)Dont race the engine
3) Dont let engine idle for more than 3 minute

I try follow all... But in kl traffic jam, we can idle for more than 5 minutes, LOL!

Thx for your info bro! You are emc mod? Saw fb msg rply d. But yet to have time register... Hehe

Anyway, can you share what the best petrol brand for elantra? Currently i use petronas... I remember saw it here. But forget which version thread d... Lol

Depend what car u compare with. If with 4 gears Altis, it's comparable. With 7 gear Altis, 7 gear better fc. I compared with non skyactive mazda 3,also same figure.
