yea this 1 looks veli nice ... i saw the car in 1u .. there a black 1 .. with vvt-i .. that i dunno is which model .. but interior wise exactly same with the elantra ....

i thought this elantra is CKD by kah bintang?
and 47 secs..not good enough bro..

but it only take 7-8 second for 0-100kmh!!

thats good..this elentra really improve compare the previous gen...
for my personal opinion...civic still a better choice compare to this elantra

i guess 7-8 secs to 100km/h is manual version.

this car vs civic i would choose civic 2.0 la, the looks and legroom won by civic.

but for me 1.8 civic n elantra, i would choose elantra.

elantra is spacious, especially the width.
leather seats.
lol this car has better horsepower & 189nm torque if not wrong.
is better than civic 1.8 haha.

i gt went inside the car n my friend civic.
civic 1.8 no leather , and civic guess has better legroom(rear seats).

Yes, very nice but a bit pricey!

wow, judging from the response... it seems most of you do not drive to 200kph, even the civic new civic type-r needs 1min++ to get to that speed!!!

so this car is = fast!!! pitty very little speed freaks...

140ps only for 2.0? no thanks. power output same like civic 1.8 only. and confirm 1.8 civic better fc.
civic type-r to reach 200kph more than 1min? u sure or not.. u drive urself ka?
haha.. type-r got speed cut at 180 only.. in case u don't know that.
even my 1.8 can reach 200kph less than 1 min la

internal part not bad

speed cut can be remove...and it is remove...and its 220kph need more than 1 min...

and 1.8 0 - 208km



elantra pwn all...NOT...but seriously, if ur 1.8 modded can reach 200kph < 1 min then but I smell bullshiate... the FD1 engine compartment is so cramp putting BOT and sumore boleh land mechanics = no no for modification...

aih, there no manual version in Malaysia

143ps for elantra 2.0 vs 1.8 civic 140ps.
186nm torque for elantra 2.0 vs 170nm torque for civic 1.8

elantra still has better hp and more powerful torque.

civic 2.0 155 hp
Torque 188nm .

the torque of elantra 2.0 is very near to civic 2.0
highway drag still can match i guess.

power!!!

inside my friend civic 1.8 the car accelerate smoothly and silence, drive 14x still no loud and just like 100km/h ,
so steady. perhaps civic has better sound insulation.

New hyundai Elantra 2.0 G CVVT very nice design

korean car aint bad ...

only people keep saying high fc and high maintenance, and poor resale value ...

test drive this car from PJ 222 and the SA let me whack the car "kao kao"..turn out to federal highway and start to press the acceration and very fast to reach 130km/H and feel like 80KM/H (seated 4 person in the car) and the engine is very quiet and very stable..and can feel still have plenty of "ommph" if u dare to press deep enough but quite a lot of car on that time so i didnt go all the way.. steering very light but i think is ok cos most of the EPS steering also very light.. and then i request to seat at the back as passenger and let the SA drive and he also drive quite fast,high speed cornering and try on bumpy road and as a passenger i feel quite comfortable at the back...
overall i think this is a good car and the interior is and also the interior blue light..quite cool..i like it.. maybe will go there to place a booking on friday..SA told me after loan approve and can collect your car in 7 days (2008 made and any colour)..now confuse which color to get..BLACK or GRAY..?? prefer BLACK cos more spory but difficult to maintain..

nice interior.. but the seats looks cheap

Civic is CKD..this elantra CBU..for me 100% goes for elantra..hyundai may not be that glamour brand but they certainly produced better car than the problematic CKD civic


p/s: do you know the sound system in this elantra is made by the same company that supply to merz and lexus?..thats how far they have improved

parts are slightly more expensive, but not far from the japanese counterparts

and i noticed that alot of people dont calculate one
they dont factor in the initial purchase price in calculating the resale value

It just needs some bodykit with it
