hey guys, i am soon to be proud owner of elantra but with numerous opinion from family and colleagues making me feel bad that i chose this car. can any of u guys prove otherwise? i really love the look of this car plus i googled for any defect or problem with this car apart from FC not much that i find negative about it. i only get this car for the equipment bundled with price tag after discount is comparable to other car that i considered. even one of my colleague thought i bought this car to show off. that was furthest from my thought when i chose this car.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Do note that i am not rich and started working for 2 years. How about spare part and service? Price wise and quality of sc? Think the FC should be better than my old wira that i trade in for new elantra. Any annoyance with this car? Like forte rattling sound dashboard?

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 .

noted. hopefully by the end of this month i am going to be owner of new elantra. can achieve 7-9 l/100km? any advice when collecting new elantra? anything dos and don'ts? really appreciate all the advices.

4. Headlight switch, signal switch, high beam, fog lamp (if applicable), hazard signal switch
5. Wiper switch (make sure each speed is correct), wiper spray
6. Make sure dashboard lights come on when the headlights are switched on.

17. Glovebox
18. Handbrake & check handbrake lights
19. Carpet (check if it is dirty or not)
20. check for leather folding or for cracks on leather seats
21. Speakers
22. Make sure the distance on the odometer is reasonable (should be less than 20km at the very most if you’re collecting from the distributing centre. If the car is delivered to your doorstep, the distance may vary.)
23. Owner's manual
24. Seat belts (test them by pulling them hard in a fast movement. The seat belts should lock).
25 check interior lighting
26 check windows and doors mechanism (open and close)
27 check radiator level, battery fluid level, brake fluid, engine oil, clutch fluid

Exterior:
1. Headlights (high/low beam), front clearance lights, signal lights, brake lights, tail lights.
2 check all lights (reversing, brakes, high beam, low beam, fog)
3 check reverse sensor beeping and signal lights
4 check boot lights and license plate lights
5 Check suspensions (press down on the 4 corners and release, the car should bounce back in one smooth motion and stay there without vibrations)
6. Windows and windscreen (check for stains or scratches)
7. Door handles (whether they are able to open the doors)

15 Check for paint chips, cracks, scratches and dents

Under the bonnet:
1. Check the levels of fluids (eg. engine oil, brake fluid, battery water). If the levels are low, it could mean that there's a leak somewhere.
2. Make sure that the chassis and engine number are indicated near the firewall and that the numbers tally with those on your log card.
3. Check that the fuses for the horn, headlamps etc are there.

Others:
1. Road tax disc
2. Vehicle log card contains correct information
3. Insurance information is correct.
4. check the colour, make and model of the car to make sure it’s the car u ordered

So far never heard the absorber hard, normally its too soft. I think your tyre pressure problem. Too much air.

Noted, will try bring it to tyre shop to fill it with hydrogen and measure it pressure. Any advice on hydrogen filled tyre?

my 20k km service coming soon, anyone care to share their experience in term of prices, item that need inspection, changes or top up? the ride is getting ridiculously absurd. feel as if i ride on a car without absorber as i drive to work through "pothole-ish" road. wonder any other owner of HE having this kind of suspension as i do? i saw on facebook, one of the owner installed suspension spring buffer, anyone installed it? does it help with the ride quality?

I fully agree...the spring buffer will make your ride bouncy(not nice at all), and I tried it acting on advice from sc.  Then i change my absorber to aftermarket korean brand...it is a lot better and now i am happy with my elantra. My original was APM, btw.

what brand did u replace it with?

I cant remember - one of the Korean brand, but it works very well. Some guy here wanted to change the spring - I dont think it is necessary, because the spring are ok, nothing wrong about it, it is the absorber that is supersoft.

If you read in north american forum - their stock absorber over there is also too soft, thus many change to Kayaba aftermarket.  I called local Kayaba dealer the other day but they told me they dont have full set of aborber for new elantra md model.  If they have i prefer kayaba.
*
It seem that everyone been saying that the absorber is too soft? Can help me explain abit what it mean. My elantra when go over bump can feel that the absorber not doing it job properly. Feel there is no movement or absorber mover up and down instead the car moves.

my Service Center said is compulsory to service aircon every 30,000 and 60,000 km. Anyone of you have the same problem? I told them SD booklet didn't mention is compulsory but they insist.
