2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[d33jay_21]

How much po PMS nyo sir?

That would be a factor for me in choosing between cruze and elantra.. Ugh! Almost 2 weeks na ako nagbabasa ng mga threads dito hindi pa rin ako makadecide.. Tsk!

[atmarcella]

how much are you willing to spend sir? kasi in my case my budget was 800+ and the jazz was 857, the elantra was 888....easy choice.

with regards to pms, I'm sure hindi naman magkalayo yun. pare pareho lang yun kasi every 5k pms, kung sabihin ni chevy na 10k sila niloloko ka lang nun. ang lifespan ng additives sa oil 5k lang, kahit synthetic pa.

Thanks for your input Sir...

Its for 60 months so i guess i should stay away from it...

Would you be so kind to direct me to a person who can help me out..? A trusted SA or dealership maybe..i dont want to be tied up with a bad deal for five years..

Go to a bank. In-house financing is usually a bad idea.

When you get approval from the bank, that's when you start shopping around dealerships for options.

I agree with Verbl ... get approval from a bank first (ex. BPI, BDO, PS Bank, BOC, Metrobank, etc)

Sa dealership, kung Elantra ka na talaga, kuha ka ng offers from at least 4 dealers kasi mga freebies nila nag-iiba sometimes. Standard freebies are: [1] full tint except sa windshield (visor lang; suggest wag mong ipalagay kung balak mong ipa-full windshield; [2] 3 years LTO registration; [3] matting; [4] seat cover. Sa akin, meron pang dagdag na EWD, payong at cash discount. Doon sa isang dealer, ang dagdag eh full windshield tint at cash discount, pero least priority sila sa allocation ni HARI kaya sayang lang offer

Btw, P70k yata ang difference ng 1.6L A/T sa 1.8L A/T. For 60 months (5 yrs) loan, lampas P1k/month lang dagdag pero kapalit eh 16" rims, fog lamps, side repeater, passenger airbag, better HU

... more HP, split folding rear seats, leather covered steering wheel, adjustable rear headrests, all wheel disc brakes, steering wheel mounted audio controls...

[vefyjeph]

may passenger airbag din ang 1.6 AT... yung 1.6 MT ang wala passenger airbag.

thanks for the additions and correction

OT: a competition Elantra should look out for: P855k pala Lancer EX GLX 1.6L A/T, 16" alloy wheels na, ABS/EDB/BA pa, plus bluetooth and touchscreen HU; 4 speed nga lang tranny. There's more ... cash discount kaya P828k na lang daw

Ganda din specs ng lancer kung naging 5speed manlang sana

the competition will be better for the buyers ... sana HARI will respond appropriately (as in, bigger discount )

sir, IMHO, appropriate naman ang 4 speed considering 1.6 li engine lang naman sya. remember almost all cars in the 80's-90's 4 speed lang kasi engine displacement at those era 1.3-1.6 li lang. lumabas na lang ata 5-speed nang maglabasan na ang 1.6 16 valve at 1.8 - 2.0 li engines (correct me if i'm wrong here). siguro if 1.8 li and up, dapat at least 5 speed and for 2.0 li and up, 6 speed na dapat. siguro much better kung cvt nilagay nila. - sorry OT.

i am attracted to the elantra's body design. deal breaker lang sakin yung cost of PMS ng hyundai. ginagatasan nila mga hyundai owners using the famous line nila na: MA VOID WARRANT PAG DI SA CASA BIBILHIN ANG OIL AND PARTS!!!

[dfopiso]

^ korekek

kaya dapat mag shape up si HARI kasi the Japs and Americans have noticed the Koreans and treated them as serious competition. baka next year all Japs ulit ang dominant auto manufacturer :hooray:

[Retz]

naging comparison na ito between lancer and elantra.

[dfopiso]

^ oops sorry OT

Ano naman connect ng engine displacement sa transmission? Even 1.3L subcompacts like the City and Jazz have 5-speed automatics. The Fiesta has a 6-speed dual clutch. A cheap car doesn't have to use an old transmission.

More modern transmissions have more than 4 forward gears for the reason that more gears gives them more flexibility with the gear ratios. Gear ratios that are too far apart are less economical in the city (but good in the highway for low-rev cruising). Gear ratios that are too close are great for city use (which is why a lot of city cars have close ratio gearboxes) but run out of steam easily on the highway.

Fact is, Mitsubishi used an older transmission (the 4-AT) instead of the more modern CVT to save costs, hoping that buyers won't care. And I'm pretty sure they don't, if you look at how well the 1.6L Altis is selling.

Tulad nung nabasa ko noon sa Accent thread.

If they want a Hyundai, they will buy a Hyundai.
