Thanks for info. Time go sc hunting for power power fold mirror parts!

+1
Traded in my 1.8G Altis since elantra launched in 2012/. Never looked back. I actually Pity those still blindly following T batch to buy cars and got ripped off for what they pay vs what they get. No major issue at all with the car. I can guarantee built quality is even better than 'cbu' from Thai cars.
As mentioned, only weakness is soft absorber. Petrol consumption lose out a bit to Altis, but in exchange, u get much more interior space and features.
Will be driving it for another 5 years until I start looking for 6 airbag cars.

Same they r both korean cars, u must compare after sales service. Let's just say Naza kia is giving alot of excused for warranty claims. I have no issue claiming warranty from SD so far.
Also i prefer elantra interior design.
Lastly, when I bought it during launch, cerato not out yet. So saved me some headache there.

Yes just an indicator on how heavy ur foot is.

For 1.8 around 2k. U have to change the rain sensor also as it comes attached to the screen. Price included the sensor.

Most who changed absorber in sc say no difference after a few months. So didn't bother.

I don't see much difference with FL. Since sports series out and now come free with auto fold mirror, is a good buy. Wait for 1-2 months am sure u can get huge discount. Rather than wait for FL and need to pay full price.

U don't say...
Last year's 1.8 model was snapped off Bcoz discount 10k

Tell them this. I owned 3 toyotas before this and I'm a Merit member where u got to join by only after owning certain amount of T cars and service points. I was a loyal fan of my toyota for more than a decade.
I traded in my 1.8g 9tb gen Altis. Boy. Never what missed. I never looked back. Every toyota car that I owned somehow never wanna drive it for 5 years. Boring, no features, handle like sampan. It just gets u A to B.
With this elantra? I intend to keep it for another 5 yrs! Now finding stuffs to upgrade.
Tell u a secret: For those who laugh at ppl to be different, they themselves are the ppl who have no money to own a proper car. They can only buy car with perceived 2nd hand value and never realised they already paid for it upfront- WITH Interest. Kosong cars with high price. Japanese realised this and started offering better specs like new city and slyphy. But UMW will never learn.
Bottom line, u made a smart choice. But there are pros and cons
Pros: u don't have to go through the headache and boredom of owning a japenese car.
Cons: reason above, hence u will never appreciate the better stuff that got since u got it already in first try.

Als Also a owned 3 toyota cars before this, I can guarantee u much lesser rattle for elantra. I am very sensitive to noise. Build quality definitely better.
Parts claimed foc coz still under warranty. If no parts, wait 2 weeks to get it.
Fc lose out a bit to toyota. It's a c segment car. If u want really low fc, consider city instead .

If highway, 6-7l. If Kl city 10-11. This is a big car with big interior. References is 1.8L car.
Bought since launch. Forgot about the collect car check list. Check first page.

U will be more successful posting in Elantra malaysia club fb page. Huge fan base there. Check first page for link.

Hehe. He copy pasted a template from some where. Elantra is printed antenna.

Cost about right if u don't op for all the optional addictive the sc will try to sell to u.
Service interval is 10k after the first 1k,5k and 10k

That is just wrong perception that folks want u to believe. My 3 years old now yet less issue than my toyotas. Also notice old Hyundai cars still running strong on the road.
1 more thing many fail to notice. This car design is so futuristic tat u will easily own it for 7 years. Save u money. Also after 7 yrs the 2nd hand price calculation is the same even for car. Save money again.

Bro, u done ur power fold mirror yet? Damage how much?

Y u need to buy? Ask the sc replace for u. If not complaint to hq

It is well known that toyota salesman very last like u owe them money b4 buying. U referring to them?
U praising Bcoz of leng lui izzit?

U sure T cheapest car still sell like hot cake or not? I cannot find a reason to buy T cheap car anymore since city came out.

Question is, I am looking for insurance agent who can give 10% discount off the premium from their commission. Who can help?

Just read my previous posts. Bored to repeat already. Keep for 7 yrs, 2nd hand rate will be flat.

Sorry but I have to say ur friends are so old school(are they aunt/Uncles?) not yet buy think of selling. Not yet own it think of others happiness, not ur own. They only buy cars OTHERS like to drive, not themselves. They only live to please others...
I made my mistake too as stick with 2 cars I don't like for 12 yrs. Now change to drive a car I like and never looked back.
Many also realising the same thing, that is why u see so many peugeot, Ford, kia, mazda otr. Now. No longer only T & H
