Elantra 1.6 MT or AT? Di ba underpowered pag A/T na 1.6 Elantra? Parang analaki ng body?

Test drive mo nalang para maramdaman mo talaga. The 1.6 Elantra has 130ps, which is already the domain of some 1.8L engines. The M/T will definitely give better FC, but it also loses out on safety features like 4 wheel disc brakes and I think also ABS. If you'll be doing lots of highway, having a 6 speed tranny should give you excellent FC as long as you keep a light foot on the gas.

On a side note, mahina na ang vibration sa Accent CRDi ah, nasa vicinity na ng gasoline engines! I've ridden in some well maintained Accent CRDi cabs and I was impressed.

Elantra Manual gets my vote.

Yup im willing to sacrifice efficiency for comfort..

Yup mahina naman bro vibration di mo ramdam pag ikaw sakay. pero ramdam mo once your holding the steering wheel.. Unlike gasoline engine na kala mo patay pa makina mo kahit bukas na

Sige bro.. but im sided with Elantra 1.6 M/T now for better FC.. i think i can leave with M/T naman.. ang gusto ko kasi sa diesel pag M/T mas madali sa traffic, clutch palang binibitawan mo malakas na agad abante.

Elantra if youre going for a 1.6 engine, Civic if youre going for 1.8. It has a really nice interior too. Both look great but i like the civic better.

Last question..

Im planning to add Ford Focus 2013 HB 1.6 on my list..

Natatakot lang ako baka prone din sa DCT/Powershift failure ito like its predecessor?

you're more expert than me TS in terms of car, pero kung ako either Elantra 1.8 vs. Civic 1.8 lang pagpipilian ko.

OT: don't say there's vibration sa Accent CRDI, meron magagalit dito

magalit na sila sir.. kilala ako na user ng Accent CRDi sa Team Accent Philippines. Iba parin feeling kahit sila mismo pag sumakay sila sa accent crdi then accent 1.4/1.6 gasoline.

Anyways i decided na i'll go with Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS

found a sweet deal
