2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[Starex_Gold]

Any idea po kung kelan lalabas yung Elantra/Sonata diesel?

Anoprefer nyo GLS manual or matic? sulit ba ung 1.8 limited edition ng elantra?

Wala naman diesel.

I will be getting the 1.6 AT.

Wala ako discount nakuha. Free LTO lang, floor mat, seat cover and vkool tint sa Greenhills. Best na ito kasi yung iba wala free LTO. Bank PO kasi...

How bad yung stock na busina nitong elantra compared sa stock na busina ng civic FD?

Very bad, bossing

Yung stock horns ng Hyundai pareho nung single horn tricycle. So it's really necessary to change the horns. Unless you don't use the horns at all

[vefyjeph]

awts! very bad nga!!!!

Or pwede bukas bintana na lang tapos sigaw ng "Padaan!!!!". hehehe.

[Starex_Gold]

Kaya Platinum lang kasi Hyundai GH lang naman ata (or meron pa atang 2 iba) nag-ooffer ng free VKool tint.

Sana yung Platinum tint eh pinagawa mong 3M BC. Or the least, free full windshield.



Scout ka pa sa ibang dealers. They have different offers. Kahit through phone lang.

Ako kahit malayo yung dealer from where I am, basta malaki discount from others dadayuhin ko.

Pwede mo rin i-hirit na sana 3M BC yung free. Huwag 3M FX lang.



Kung 13.1k ay WITH OEM STALK. Then it's ok.
I paid 14k for my FDs foglight, tapos yung sa Honda City GM 15k naman. Kasama na rin dun yung pagpapa-ilaw ng foglight indicator sa dashboard.

Yung 9k or 4500, malamang switch type lang yan. Pero kung ok lang sayo, pwede na yung 4500

Hahaha. Dami na rin alam ah
----------------------------------
3M BC may binabagayan yan color ng car or may mismong binabagayan na car, BC is the reflective look ng 3M, mukhang pang damatans IMHO at hindi bagay sa Elantra, sorry for those who have that tint.

3M CS (Color Stable) is acceptable. Pero BS parin. 3M parin kasi eh. Hyundai GH at Hyundai BGC lang ang nag-carry ng V-Kool tints. Both owned by Autohub Group.

Re: Fog lamps. Pwede kay Maspro. Pwede rin sa Elantra Club PH shop, pero yung sa ECP shop alam ko hindi OEM stalk switch gamit nila.

Yung OEM side mirror turn lamp, 3K kay Maspro. Sa ECP shop, cheaper, as in cheaper. Sulit na modification iyon.

[Starex_Gold]

awts! very bad nga!!!!

Or pwede bukas bintana na lang tapos sigaw ng "Padaan!!!!". hehehe.

Yes pare, mas malakas pa kung bubuksan mo bintana at mumurahin mo yung nasa harap

Bosch Europa, matutuwa ka na dun, medyo mahal pero sulit talaga.

[MR.ONG]

Pwede naman i-bigay yung rain guards sayo on top of those given standard freebies, eh.

Actually, sa ibang dealers US Gila or Platinum Tint lang ibibigay sayo. Pahirapan pa kapag 3M ang hiningi mo. :hysterical: Kung ayaw nila mag-bigay ng 3M BC, wag mo na kunin! Libreng busina nalang i-hirit mo. Hella Twintone pwede. Sa pangit ng busina ng Elantra -- actually lahat ng Hyundai -- hindi ka tatagal.

If you want, punta ka sa Hyundai Greenhills. Dealer tint nila dun is V-Kool na. V-Kool OEM siguro. Pero at least, V-Kool pa rin compared sa US Gila.

Sir, Ano po bang pagkakaiba ng mga tints na namention mo?

Wala naman diesel.

May nabasa po akong thread na meron daw sa india yata yun? dunno kng illabas ba dito satin. BTW how much po yung cost if id like to replace the horns?


I'm scheduled for a elantra-MT testdrive today. Any tips po kung ano yung pangit or hndi ganoong maganda sa elantra na kelangan kong iobserve?

I've test-driven a MT one a few weeks ago. I guess pangit is depende sa expectations mo. Sa kin, wala namang pangit as in PANGIT talaga. It's actually responsive for a 1.6L. I've had 1.6L's na mabagal hatak (BMW 316i), and those that are high-revving, giving you the feeling na mabilis (Civic VTI). So ok naman sya sa hatak. Road noise is an issue daw, pero nde ko naman nafeel gaano un. Mejo matigas ang accelerator pedal, pero baka kasi bago pa. Clutch is soft enough though. Very nice shifter.

Siguro tingnan mo kung ok sa yo yung ride, kung nde ka natatagtagan. Sa kin, ok lang naman. Overall, no complaints. I was actually supposed to get mine yesterday, pero I opted to move it to tomorrow kasi schedule conflict sa office. Hehe.

[dirk_diggler]

Oh and another thing, the steering wheel is VERY light. A little bit too soft. Electronic na kasi un e. It will be very good for maneuvering in parking slots, pero not sure sa mga twist and turns. European cars are much, much heavier, but you feel you have more control of the car. But maybe that's just me. Bale wala nang steering "play".

[MR.ONG]

JGH from my test drive. (Elantra MT)

Actually, I've only driven for 2months pero medyo same ang observation natn.

Steering wheel - sobrang lambot

Gas pedal - matigas

Breaks - sobrang responsive or baka nasanay lang ako sa old car namin na malalim ung tapak bago 2migil.

Engine noise - super tahmik naman sya unlike others' opinion na maingay daw. Katunayan nga e hndi ko alam kung kelan ako maguupshift at ddownshift. Kasi nasanay ako sa SUV naming diesel.

About sa interior, sa ilalim po ba ng stereo player meron tlgang butas? Ung size nya kasya pa isang stereo player.
Nung tinanong ko sa knila, ang sabi nla is ako pdaw ang magpapalagay nun. Ganun po ba tlga un or depende sa dealer? And sabi wala ng discount, ang freebies is seat cover, matting, tint. Ok na po ba yun or should i demand more? Btw through bank kami kkuha.

Overall nahirapan ako sobrang idrive, yung tipong minsan gumigitna nako sa linya ko hahaha. Hndi dahil sa elantra, kundi dahil sa driving experience ko

Dati ko pa Natapos ung 15hours driving lesson ko sa A1 using(vios, altis, and fiesta) ang napansin ng instructor ko is naiilang ako sobra sa right side. Normal lang ba yun? Nung sa amin nako nagppractice using SUV, hndi naman ako nhirapan. Ngaun kabisado ko na sobra ung SUV namin. Pero nung nagtest drive ako kanina, ganun padn ung feeling ko sa sedan. Hndi ko tanchado ung paligid ko worse pakiramdam ko e lagi akong tatama sa kanan Is there something wrong with me? lol

Ngaun nag ddlawang isip 2loy ako about getting a sedan. Should i get an SUV instead? IMO SUV is a lot better madaming pwedeng ilagay at kumasyang tao. Pero more on schooling ko sya ggamitin e dahil student palang ako. What do you guys think? Anong mas magastos sa fuel, "SUV na diesel" VS. "Unleaded na Sedan"?

Advance thank you sa mkkasagot sa'king mga katanungan.

Yes, 2-DIN ang tawag dun. 1-DIN ang nakalagay ngayon sa car, and you can use the vacant space for sunglasses, phones, cards, etc. I actually prefer this setup kasi i can replace the headunit with the model i really want, such as a 7-inch DVD player. Pagka kasi built-in un headunit like in the 1.6 AT or 1.8, ang hirap ireplace, tas mahirap din ibenta. Believe me, you'll be thankful na 2-DIN un space pag nahilig ka sa DVD player or an A/V setup.

And sabi wala ng discount, ang freebies is seat cover, matting, tint. Ok na po ba yun or should i demand more? Btw through bank kami kkuha.

Standard nga yun, pero nai-haggle ko pa un full front tint, rain visors, and car cover.

Nasa iyo yan. Since you're a new driver, I'd say stick with a sedan muna. Darating un point na you'll need to fit in tight parking spaces, or mag maniobra ka sa traffic ng mabilisan. Hard to do that with an SUV. Ano mas magastos? depends on the model, but I think SUV still, kahit CRDi pa yan. Basta mas magastos sa pagbili ang SUV na diesel :D

For me, mas maganda tingnan mo yun left side mo kung gumigitna ka na. As long as you are driving along the traffic lines, NOT driving ON the traffic lines ha, but just a few inches away from it, ok ka lang dapat sa right side mo. Kung me babanga sa yo, sila me kasalanan, kasi along the lines ka. Pero syempre, dapat lagi ka alert. pero good rule of thumb un nasa traffic line ka.

Another point on the sedan vs SUV dilemma - unless you get a mid-sized SUV, 5 pa ring tao lang ang maisasakay mo. If you get a MonteroSport or Fortuner, oo mas madami ka maisasakay. But if you're getting a RAV4 or Tuscon, ganun din. Mas mataas ka lang sa kalye, so mejo safe ka sa baha.

[IMm29]

Yes pare, mas malakas pa kung bubuksan mo bintana at mumurahin mo yung nasa harap

Bosch Europa, matutuwa ka na dun, medyo mahal pero sulit talaga.

Was in that position with the GS. Konti na lang sisigawan ko na.

Kasya ba Europa sa Elantra?

[IMm29]

Got to drive the sister's 1.8AT for a bit after 4 months. Nakaka-miss ang matulin na gas car. Hehe! Kahit matulin ang GS di pa din sya kotse. Para ngang laruan sa daling ilaro ng Elantra. It's a pity a friend went for a Sporty just recently coz he couldn't wait for an Elantra. Enjoy din yun pero iba namang feel. Hehe!

[renzo_d10]

*IMm29

Nabenta mo na sir yung Camry sa avatar mo? Matulin din yan...

[IMm29]

Di po nabenta bro renzo. Got reassigned back to the grandfolks. Mas kumportable at mas madaling sakyan kesa sa GS.

Matulin naman sa rekta, at stable. 215 kph on 18s max. Baka ilampaso ako ng rumaratrat na GS ni fastlane tho.

[renzo_d10]

Iba talaga comfort ng midsize sedan.

Compared sa Camry vs. Grand Starex, parang mas feel ko i-rekta yung Camry. Nakakatakot din yung GS kasi malaki, although it suprisingly feels smaller inside kesa pag tinignan mo sa labas. Parang Montero, when you sit in the driver's seat.. as if the car gets smaller. Hehehe. It might be a different story once you start driving it, though.

Sa GS MT palang kasi ako naging pasahero, tumakbo ng 120kph sa Katipunan ng alanganing oras and it's pretty stable too.

Si Maspro may gawa bro?

Mas stable yung midsize bro. Mas linear acceleration coz NA. Pero with the GS's width and heft it's quite stable at speed.

I think the relatively lower headroom vs SG makes the GS feel smaller inside.

[krescenhaze]

^san yan? Ako nga walang discount e. 818k talaga kasi cguro dahil cash. Pero nanego ko naman to:

3m tint all the way including full front windshield.
3 yr lto
Rain guard
Matting
Seat cover

Far cry from walang discount pero pwede na cguro. Andun na rin un unit. Just waiting now for the release of the cheque

Cash din sa amin sir, Hyundai Manila Bay. Nung una hanggang 808,000 lang daw talaga puwede. buti napiga namin hanggang 800,000

medyo out of topic

how much ba ang Projector HIDs nowadays? My nakita akong ad, nasa 6.5k, free installation and angel eyes pa.

And, need pa bang mag HID kapag hi beam or puwede ng low beam lang?

[vefyjeph]

I received a call from my dealer, offering extended warranty. Either I pay 20k or pay the LTO price. Bale + 1 year sa warranty.

Needed pa ba ito or gimmick na lang?
