QUOTE(dares @ Jan 25 2017, 08:27 PM) Let me preface this by saying I'm not a Kimchi hater (yes, it is necessary because this is LYN and this tered smells like something from /k). I actually like some of them, and considers the Ioniq to be a great bargain. I don't think they cheat on their figures as HP and torque can easily be checked by dyno. It could be that the cars you mentioned have gearing which are tuned for economy so they won't feel powerful. It's like the ioniq on econ mode or sports mode makes a lot of difference but those cars may be permanently in semi-econ mode. For the Elantra Sport which is intended for power the gearing should be arranged for spirited driving. Using DCT is a reflection of that intent. Anyway the real proof is in test driving the actual car.Anyway, Kimchi engines usually have higher, more impressive figures than their similiarly displaced peers, for example the Cerato's 1.6NA has 130hp while the Rio's 1.4l NA has 109hp. But the real world performance leaves alot to be desired. Let's just say I personally take their official figures with a pinch of salt, no matter how impressive they are. |

QUOTE(dman @ Feb 20 2017, 09:35 AM) Anyone got further info on this Elantra Turbo and the est pricing? I've also read good reviews about the Elantra Sport. No surprise that it trumps the Civic in power as the Civic turbo is only lightly boosted for economy and it is couple with a CVT transmission for a sedate drive.There's review all over the net stated it's more satisfying to drive than the new Civic turbo due to much powerful engine and DCT and steering feedback is better and much more communicative. Surprisingly it rides firmer and less body roll than the new civic! Based on all that, it trumps the civic in performance dept... and the 0-100 is quicker than civic too in real life test! Hope it reached here it will price less than 120k and ppl will jump ship from getting civic to Hyundai camp |

QUOTE(dstl1128 @ Feb 21 2017, 08:41 AM) I use CD/DVD. Not using digi. Not using spotify. tl;dr; My phone don't act as music player. You can rip your CDs to MP3 using bitrate of 256kbps and you'll be pretty hard pressed to tell the difference with your CDs. Even if your ears are good enough your system may not be good enough to play out the difference.The only part that is usable is FM. Why can't they use the HU like those in Sienta for example. Handling physical CDs or CDRs is so old school. How many discs can you bring along? Changing CDs on the go is a problem. There is nothing like having your whole collection on one thumb drive. |

One Australian company has timed the 0-100km/hr of the DCT Auto Elantra Sport at a blazing 6.87 sec. I guess that makes it king of the C-segment in power beating the Honda Civic Turbo, Mazda 3, Jetta, Ford Focus, Peugeot 408T, etc. It will even put a BMW 320i to shame.

QUOTE(sitescope @ Apr 14 2017, 08:33 AM) There is no market for a 2 door coupe in Malaysia unless it is a brand which targets the rich. Hyundai's mistake was to bring in them in and was forced to dispose of them cheap cheap. However the sedan Elantra is quite popular and won't meet the same fate so don't hold your breath for the RM30K discount. |

QUOTE(jacobngen87 @ Apr 14 2017, 02:12 PM) According Wikipedia, the Mazda 3 skyactive 2.0L already does 0-100km/hr in just 7.8 seconds, which is faster than Civic Turbo and almost 2 seconds faster than the normal Civic. Not possible to get below 8s for the Mazda 3 0-100 km/hr sprint. I think I've seen a test where the Mazda 3 and Civic turbo are neck to neck at 8.2s if I remember correctly.Civic CVT is pretty slow versus Nissan or Toyota. I think Sylphy and Altis pickup is faster than the Civic 1.8L |

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Apr 14 2017, 03:03 PM) That sub 8 second number is most likely derived from the manual transmission, and typically evaluated under the cooler climate than our hot and humid climate which handicaps the best performance potential of the engine. The best reference is from the mazda singapore brochure : Actually the skyactiv engine needs to rev above 2000 rpm before the torque comes in. This means nipping into another lane isn't as quick as I would like. But other than this the performance is sweet!8.9s to 100km/h Ok la, lose out to civic turbo, but then, so what? Either way who is fast or not, the revvy nature and linearity of the skyactiv engine is something quite fun. |

If the Elantra turbo is RM120K it will be competitive. At RM130K will be hard to sell. I don't think they can go as low as RM110K.

Where are your specs taken from? There are heated exterior mirrors which are irrelevant for our region.

QUOTE(sitescope @ Apr 28 2017, 08:40 AM) Quite suprise coz price for higher spec elantra is less a bit than ioniq high spec Ioniq probably has some tax exemption for a hybrid car.So we can use current ioniq price as a guess If price higher than ioniq than we know hyundai markup kaw2 n should boycott them |

Maybe Hyundai had to get rid of old stocks of Elantra before bringing in the new model.

One Chinese website (link forgotten) says the Elantra turbo will be priced at rm130k.
If true it will go head to head with Civic turbo on price but if the price is the same buyers usually prefer the Jap car. Anyway, lets wait and see. |

If the Korean car distributor is content to sell at low volume then they can price it the same as an equivalent Jap car like the Optima and Sonata which are priced the same as Camry/Accord. This strategy is fine for CBU cars but if the car is CKD they will need some volume to sustain. Is the Elantra CKD or CBU?

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ May 26 2017, 10:58 AM) Then you go talk to the principle to make an indent order for your manual, or you get the car and separately source and fit a suitable manual transmission. I say, why so aggressive wkc5657? He just made a simple exploratory statement. This sort of response can start a flame war.It will not come with a manual option. There is no market for manual cars in Malaysia unless it is for the rock bottom budget segment or for expensive powerful cars. Outside these two segments it just doesn't sell. Naza found out the hard way when they brought in a batch of manual Picanto. They finally had to get rid of them at fire sale prices. The sons of the founder were not as savvy as their father. |
