Aside from the bigger engine and increase in gas consumption, how about the interior? and other ammenities? mas lamang ba high end Elantra or lower end Sonata? mdyo hindi pa ako familiar sa specs.

Image wise, of course panalong panalo Sonata.

Space wise, too.

Kulitin mo lang and haggle with different dealers and show them what other dealers offered you and from there take the best deal you have...

sir ,what is the usual fee for LTO (3 years) my dealership asking for 14K, is that fair?

Thanks

I am not sure about the exact amount, pero why bother?
wag ka pumayag na di free ang LTO, malaking amount din yan...

Pero in case no choice kana at your willing to pay the LTO, then try haggle for more freebies to compensate the amount you paid for the LTO...

Try balintawak or Pasig. I inquired only by phone and I decided from there...hth

Interior plastics palang ng Sonata lamang na lamang na sa Elantra.

Tapos leather/fabric combination yung seats ng Sonata. BTW, power seats at power retractable side mirrors na rin yung Sonata GLS.

Basta sa lahat ng aspects lamang ang Sonata GLS than Elantra GLS. Down side lang ang FC. Pero kung ako pipili, Sonata parin. Bonus nalang diyan yung "image"

Meron nga ako nakitang Sonata GLS (hyper metallic) tapos painted ng polished black yung roof. O' diba mukhang Premium agad. Hahaha

Walanghiya.

I have nothing against non-Premium Sonata variants

Isipin mo nalang mga Sonata sa US and you'll be comforted by the lack of sunroof... and also rage against the lack of the GDi engine and dual exhaust pipes.. Bwahaha!

But frankly, given the price difference and I have no other means of spending the cash, I'll go for the Sonata. As for me, since I decided that I'll be keeping the car for at least 8 years, that's a pretty long time so might as well spend the additional money for that additional smile.

Black Sonata GLS non-premium then change the rims

now you dont need to worry about people saying your car isnt premium because they cant pinpoint if u have a panoramic sunroof or not because the roof is already black

Simple.. you want sedan then Elantra but if you are leaning more on SUV then Tucson GL of course.
Honestly mahirap mag decide kung may excess budget na 1M++, pag less naman no choice Elantra na lang talaga.
Peace..
