After MIAS na din ako nagpa-reserve sir. Takot ako maubusan ng kulay kaya binayaran ko agad.. he he...

I'm planning on having 3M Black Chrome tint installed dahil maganda ang experience ko dito in terms of heat rejection. Dealer agreed to put this on (with additional fees of course). My concern is baka magkaroon ng interference sa glass-printed na FM antenna dahil me metallic content ang tint. I do not have this issue in my other ride, but then again, hindi naman kasi glass printed ang antenna noon..
Would appreciate any comments or suggestions...
TIA

I immediately tried to estimate if mababa ba talaga headroom from my vantage point...baka nga mejo mababa if I sit at the rear considering I'm 6"0'. BUT, panalo talaga sa itsura! HAnds down ako, way way better than the new Civic, Mazda 3, and the others! Was initially deciding to get the TOTL Accent or the the 1.8AT Elantra...when I saw it kanina I immediately made up my mind na 1.8AT Elantra na lang talaga kunin ko! BEsides, the Accent's size might be small for my height, I think the Elantra would be just fine...anyway, I wouldn't be sitting on the rear seats naman since I'lll be driving it, so sana ok na talaga...so for the 1.8AT, 3 colors lang ba talaga lalabas?

For those who got their units na, share your pics naman!

AFAIK, 3 colors lang talaga ang available sa 1.8 AT: Phantom Black, Tomato Red, & Clean Blue
2 colors naman sa 1.6 MT: Ceramic White & Sleek Silver.
That was my only beef.. napaka-limited ng color choices.. astig ang black IMO kaya lang I dread the effort I have to put into maintaining it, kaya nag-settle na lang ako sa red...

Anyone going to immediately upgrade/accessorize their brand new Elantra?

Nag reserve ako right after I saw the Elantra sa 1st day ng MIAS. Akala ko dealers prioritize buyers thru bank loans compared to cash buyers because banks sometimes give commissions to agents/dealers. Kung alam ko lang na mabagal iyong dealer na pinuntahan ko, sana inentertain ko pa rin mga texts ng agents from other dealers...

Which E Rod branch ito sir, sa Quezon City or sa C5-Pasig?

In case anybody's interested, agent told me there's available blue & black units sa C5 Pasig branch

**tidus1203** · May 28th, 2011 11:49 AM

Its the one in QC... Hyundai E. Rod is the one in QC owned by Wheels Inc, the Hyundai in C5 is known as Hyundai Pasig even though its also in E. Rod Jr. (C-5)...

I asked Hyundai regarding this and according to them, there's no available accessories for now, maybe a couple of months accessories will be made available.

There are updates on Hyundai Elantra, the one year car insurance from Hyundai is now mandatory. Also, the next delivery batch of Hyundai Elantra will be on August 2011. I got this information today from Hyundai after my visit at their showroom.

I already saw the actual unit of Elantra

I already pre-selected VKool tint today and advised my SA that I prefer a combination of VKool Medium and Dark.
