bought a new elantra 1.6 AT

[htc8p]

its definitely more roomy in the driver seat.
the instrument panel is laid out better
the hood is sloping down which makes it easier to judge distance
the car looks good on the outside
the radio is a bit out of reach (minor issue though)
the slanted windshield makes blind spots (major issue)

score as of now 9/10. i highly recommend this car over my corolla altis.

i will be back to post 6 months review, 1 year review, and 3 year review.

Congrats!!! Just post if you want to share something.

Congrats! Updates every now and then Bro. Sana mag post ka nang pix.

[vefyjeph]

Congrats. Same car tayo.

Great car indeed!
Issues I have so far.
1. Bad horns.
2. Weak noise insulation (NVH?).
3. Yes, the blindspot.
4. Noisy wiper blades. Tag ulan pa naman.
5. No speed sensing auto-lock. So wag kakalimutan maglock pagsakay.
6. Bouncy suspension.

so, how's the engine? kumusta hatak? handling?

[ervinelim]

Doesn't the weird dash board take some getting used to?

Dapat ito bibilhin ko pero ang weird ng dash.

[htc8p]

oh i see i will post pix or it didnt happen!

dashboard is like honda civic. parang cockpit style but still the same distance as any other sedan so ok lang.

maganda hatak. solid ang engine. ang gusto ko lang i check is FC pag nag luma na. kasi yung altis biglang lumakas sa gas.

oh yeah meron pang mga negative. (if you forget to turn off the light sorry ka na lang. madischarge battery mo kasi no alarm or warning) (no key for trunk!) if something goes wrong you cant open your trunk manually.

ok naman wipers, suspension, noise reduction (pasado pa din but lower than altis)

Akala ko me battery rundown protection lahat ng elantra. Yung 1.8 GLS lang pala.

Matter of taste siguro talaga. I don't find anything weird with the dashboard. Although me difference nga pala ang 1.6 & 1.8 variants in terms of the HU.

[perrydel]

mga sir, kumusta po fuel consumption, nakukuha ba ung advertized fuel economy nila na 16k/ltr.

I think meron 1.6. Naiwan ko yung park lights. Pagbalik ko di na nakailaw. Then when I start the car, napansin ko na naka-on pala ang switch..

oo nga maingay pala yung wiper.
no speed sensing lock
bad horns.

but so far FC is still good. syempre kasi bago.

[htc8p]

but still i like this car more than the other japanese cars. i am a convert na.

[Retz]

paanong maingay ang wiper?

[dfopiso]

oo nga maingay pala yung wiper.

Ako, I changed the stock wiper ng auto ko within 2 week after delivery and replaced with Circuit Aero wiper. Tapos, I used Rain Clear kit. Or, you can heed the advice of umi, who tested the Microtex product. Pls refer to this thread: http://tsikot.com/forums/window-trea...9/index15.html

is that the kind that you just replace the whole wiper? its fatter than the ordinary wiper blades?

yep ... but i was hoping you would say, "more aerodynamic" normally, fatter does not mean aerodynamic

[htc8p]

here it is long delayed took advantage of the little sunlight

[yourman_2nd]

wait list daw ang 1.6 AT at 1.8. di masabi ng SA how long ang wait list.. means madami buyers or konti lang and stock?

[htc8p]

That's BS if you pay for it they will give it to you asap
