Can swap with 2.0 seat ?

i kenot brain this... u mean performance ?

Yes, auto car need to step brake also. However, for manual, got an extra step which is to clutch/declutch the tranny and repeat that every single time in a stop/go traffic congestion. That is at least 50% more effort and do that for 2 hours, not fun at all. 

You say people are lazier, well that is a major factor. People don't even want to walk a few extra steps/minutes from a proper car park lot but die die want to double/triple park just in front of the shop they want to go. So to choose which requires least effort, quite a non brainer choice to make.

And those old days where manual is favoured, another major concern was due to the fuel consumption and reliability. Newer generation auto pretty much negate that disadvantage now. Coupled with the fact that there is an exponential increase in car volume and also traffic congestion, constant clutching getting less favoured.

Who on earth dunno its the driver driving style affect the fc, for sure i asking DCT vs CVT is base on the same driving style , which will have better fc haha

Since this car is quite overprice based on many forumer's word, why not choose volkswagen jetta 1.4 HL. It's also turbocharged yet dual clutch. Resale value both car also bellow japanese rival. Features i think elantra might win. Anyone else got compare with this jetta with elantra before?

too little too late to introduce the new Elantra here in the local market

primarily due to the current Civic's offerings, and Elantra's pricing does not help it either

and would you look at that interior man. Hyundai has failed big time on their current line-up's interior

for the average customer, it is pretty hard to compete with the Civic when your advantage is only a slightly faster car and losing out massively on the other aspects

I did, during raya holiday. Waiting for loan approval. Been looking for a more powerful compact sedan, almost book the Civic early this year and accidentally came across the news about Elantra Sport and decided to wait. Test drive once and book immediately.

The key differentiators for me vs Civic are not what most people look at, and not related to performance at all. I think power wise both cars are more than adequate and well above the class standard. Handling wise I'm leaning toward Elantra Sport firm continental like setup. After so many years of highway car sick in Toyota.

Ok, first is the driving position. I like to hold the steering at 4 and 8 o'clock position and rest the elbows on the car seat. As you can imagine, this is impossible in Civic unless I move the car seat so close to the steering wheel that I have not leg room. In Elantra Sport, I found my preference position within seconds. The thick side of the semi bucket seat is perfect for my elbows rest. LOL. Also my wife also complains the Civic low hip point seat will give her difficulty when she pregnant, what can I say as a good husband?

Second is my master brake pump phobia in the old Toyota. I have numerous experience both as passenger and driver. Everytime, the good old school mechanical handbrake come to rescue. So I try to avoid electronic parking brake. Sadly, from market trend, handbrake will be gone in my next car change.

Third is I can not stand the sluggish HU in Civic. Elantra Sport is way smoother, close to Mazda3 smoothness. Although both Elantra Sport and Madza3 are no where near the Galaxy S8/iPhone 7 silky smooth. If any HU at that level, it would be a dream to use. HU with Snapdragon 835 maybe? Then Civic HU is deeply integrated to the car climate control, upgrade option is limited. Elantra Sport is HU is relatively simple, no build in GPS, just media player, bluetooth, USB. Maybe due to the light (or lack of?) features, it need less powerful processor. You will need Android Auto/Apple Carplay. But plenty of aftermarket options.

Fourth, the DCT is surprising smooth. No jerk at all, passenger won't notice it is a DCT in a blind test. I think it is due to extremely short first gear, max 45km/h at 6000rpm. So if you in stop go traffic ant 10'ish or maybe 20km/h, you are looking at 1500-2000 rpm. This is well above engine stall speed, and DCT clutch can be fully engaged even at slow speed. I think cleverly design gear ratio, with some scarification of the fuel economy.

Fifth, I hate the red seat, but my wife love it. All my 70's/early 80's friends hate it, all my late 80's/90's friend cool with it. Maybe really millennial generation gap. Decided to let the red seat be.

There is significant tax incentive for hybrid vehicles or they would be more expensive than ordinary vehicles. I think rm10k normal discount for Elantra Sport is possible and maybe rm15K discount just before the facelift model.

i monitor santa fe 2.2d price... from 181k can get 150k... believe no issue for SD to give disc
