2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[Starex_Gold]

ano po yung bagay na tint sa tomato red elantra? 3m BC or CS? ano ba pros and cons nila?

Solar Gard nalang sir, di na maganda performance ng 3M baka di magtagal patanggal mo din yan. Hehe

[callmenadz]

Agree ako diyan, although mabilis at matipid sa krudo si Navara, para ka pa ring nakasakay sa Jeepney na matagtag at parang may vibrator . . . tuwing bibiyahe from cavite to manila, para kaming pagod na pagod ... whereas sa Elantra, fresh na fresh pa hehehe

Pero naglalaway pa rin kami ng mga kaopisina ko sa VGT na Strada . . . naku nabangit mo pa ... drool . . .
:drive1:

4x4 ba chief yung navarra nyo? for me when it comes to power and speed navarra talaga. saka fresh ka pa din kung navarra dala mo kase saglit lang kukunin ni navarra yung cavite to manila compair sa elantra .

4x2 lang . . . powerful at fuel efficient siya . . . kaso, matagtag masyado . . . di rin komportable ang pasahero sa likod dahil nga straight na straight yung bench . . . kaya eto, naglalaway sa VGT na STRADA hehehe . . .

yung isang officemate ko nga, may magkatabing porsche 911 at STRADA sa tapat ng PSBank, di pinansin ang PORSCHE, mas pinansin ang STRADA . . .

kahit ngayong nasa Malaysia kami, kung saan iisang SONATA Premium pa lang ang nakikita ko at ang daming sportscar, pero STRADA pa rin ang napapansin

Oops . . . teka, Hyundai section nga pala ito hehehe

Mabalik lang ako sa Elantra, since Elantra thread ito hehehe

Fellow Elantra owners, Gaano po katagal bago lumabas ang Plate Number ng Elantra nyo?

[ReyMatt]

Saw a white Elantra with license plates this week. I got my Elantra June 1, my agent called just 2 days ago to say that my license plate is already available

Fellow Elantra owners, Gaano po katagal bago lumabas ang Plate Number ng Elantra nyo?

Got my unit on June 9, picked up my plate number on July 22.

My Tomato red has 3M BC35 sa windshield and BC20 sa windows.
AFAIK, metallic tints can provide interior privacy without sacrificing outside visibility. Di kasi kelangan na i-darken pa masyado ang windows mo. Matter of preference nga lang ang chrome effect.
On my part, I prioritize function over form. Subjective kasi kung aesthetics na ang pag-uusapan.
I read somewhere that metallic tints can interfere with radio reception, especially if glass-printed ang antenna tulad ng sa elantra, altho di ko naman napapansin ito sa elantra ko.
You can take a look at the pics I posted of my car on page 71 of this thread to get an idea. Altho di ko pa napakabit at that time ang windshield tints. HTH

[IMm29]

It depends kung anong mas trip mo. If you want the all black look, then go with black/CS. If you're ok with the metallic look, then BC. What rmolivar said is true about BCs, you get the same (or maybe a bit better) heat rejection but not the darkness. As for me and my sis, mas trip namin ang black, so we went with super black on all windows and medium black on the front windshield. Got to take a pic over the weekend.

[jhnkvn]

BC has a higher heat rejection versus 3M CS. But on a white car, the CS lineup really is nice to look at for the black-on-white look.

Even on a Sonata with a glass roof, I still opted for the BC series. Why? Function versus form. Plus, it's more expensive compared to the CS.

At wag ka makinig kay Ken solargard spokesman na yan! Bwahaha.. joke!

[IMm29]

Not really a fan of shiny tint. Not to say BC gives you a mirror finish like the old one way, pero for sure metallic look siya. This is what I had on our old Gen 3 Starex. Since the older BC's darkest shade was dark magic, which was BC20 lang ata, nagpapatong ako ng dark smoke. The combo of shiny tint + extra black backing sort of dulled out the sharp metallic color. Yes, makintab pa din siya, but not as shiny as without the extra black backing. This was, for me, function over form pa din, pero ok lang coz di na ako kita sa loob pero parang sing dilim lang ng super black.

[bratski]

Well its true nga na nakaka interfere ang metallic tints sa radio reception. Pero sa printed antenna's case naman, nasa glass naman nakadikit yun and yung tint nasa ibabaw ng antenna. So malabo rin maka interfere sa reception, unless pina tint muna bago kabitan ng glass printed antenna, which is highly unlikely. Ang alam kong magkaka problema sa reception pag metallic tints ay gps reception. First hand experience ko ito, akala ko nagloloko na gps ko, pero nung nilipat ko sa isang car ko ayos naman pala. Naka 3m metallic full windshield kasi ako kaya ganun. Yung isang car ko neutral non metallic shade lang

[jhnkvn]

I never had a problem with my GPS connection, radio signals, or cellphone signals due to my BC35 tint on the windshield ;)

[IMm29]

My BC 20 sometimes gives my GPS a hard time finding the satellites. Moving while it does its sat searching also does not help. Hehehe!

*sir boybit kaw ba ung clean blue na nakita ko kanina sa megamall?

yes, bumili lang ako ng printer, at nagpaduplicate ng key sa elantra, nag autolock kasi yun add on alarm

[macstar1]

Share ko lang po yung nakita kong comparison between Civic, Elantra and Cruze . . .

Mukha namang balanse ang evaluation . . . although the review mentioned na mababa ang headroom, less REV happy, at so-so ang suspension, the conclusion proves na sakto lang ang elantra sa usual Pinoy requirements . . . fuel efficient, very good transmission, low and mid range torque, good interior, and overall, a competent drive . . .

Since majority ng pinoy ay below 6 feet, I suppose di natin issue yung low ceiling/headroom hehehe . . .

Yun nga lang, andito ako ngayon sa Malaysia, Land of the Proton Cars, at mabibilang sa daliri ko ang mga Hyundais hehehe.
Only saw 2 Tucson (IX35), 2 Hyundai Matrix, One Sonata and a very old Excel . . .

2012 Honda Civic vs. 2011 Chevrolet Cruze vs. 2011 Hyundai Elantra Comparison Test

[meikey]

of the three, being compared, seeing those pictures, parang ang civic is a Generation Behind in terms of aesthetic design elements...

Just my 2 cents though...

[maztah]

ah sabe na hehe ako ung tumapat na silver. nice rims! ano pala ginawa nyo doon sa stock wheels? and san nyo binili ung rims n wheels nyo?

yes, bumili lang ako ng printer, at nagpaduplicate ng key sa elantra, nag autolock kasi yun add on alarm
