[Radical!]

Just saw the ad this morning in the papers...any news on the price range? Is the Elantra in the Corolla/Civic/Mazda 3 class? The Elantra 1.6 CRDi looks good on paper. 115 ps/ 26 kg-m torque, Electric Steering and 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS/EBD, Electronic Climate control... I hope it comes in with an A/T option...

[niky]

Yup. Compact class siya.

Nakita ko to sa show kahapon at mahal sya(998K yata tapos isa lang ang airbag....) but at least CRDI sya..

[Horsepower]

Sana babaan pa up to 700k! this would be a nice street racer! :D

5-speed tiptronic din kaya ito like the SantaFe?

Malabo yang sinasabi mo kung ganyang presyo eh Accent na kunin mo.

Hindi 5 speed A/T yang Elantra 1.6 CRDI dahil M/T lang sya...Punta ka sa Manila Auto Show para makita mo..

[oldblue]

mahal sobra ng elantra. it's just a sedan kahit CRDi pa.

Ayoko ng Accent, di ko trip yung hitsura e.

sa mga sedan nila, Sonata & Azera gusto ko pero walang CRDi yung 2 na yun e. Itong Elantra, tama lang ang size, di kagandahan pero ok na rin.

Yung SantaFe, ok na ok. pero malapad nahihirapan ako sumingit minsan.

hehhee, nagt-try na magpa-payat. LOL

Hmmm... from a cursory inspection, all I can say about the Elantra CRDi is... hwow... sobrang pa-Toyota... Corolla shape, Camry lights... really dull looking...

I'll withold judgement on whether its a good value till after a test-drive, though...

The Elantra is nice. Being the first diesel "compact" car, it does pack something (and just under the 1m mark too )

Just one problem though:

Yung lay-out ng manual transmission (euro-type) is scary.

I was playing around with the gear shifter (last Friday sa Motor Show). It seemed that this good be a good economy car until......I couldn't find the 1st and 3rd gear (all I could find was the Reverse and 5th gear and the bottom gear). But 1st and 3rd gears can't be found...scary ****. Unlike let's say a Toyota Vios manual or a CRV manual where you can "really feel" every gear everytime you move the shifter. With those cars, you know the exact gear that the shifter is positioned to. But in this Hyundai Elantra CRDI (the motor show unit), you can't even feel whether the shifter is at first or third gear. Scary is the word for it.

Driving a manual car (with "missing" 1st and 3rd gears) seems scary (lalo na during high-speed driving &/or cruising).

I don't know if this a mechanical fault from Hyundai or if these euro-type manual trannies are like that (where 1st & 3rd are "too" close to each other)but whatever it is......
