For performance though, the Elantra is ahead. Try to check also the safety ratings online for the cars that you are looking at.

For FC, my m/t 2012 E gets 9-10km/L++ in city driving. That's EDSA rush hour traffic on an almost daily basis. If traffic is light to moderate then i hit the 11s.
Performance is my priority sir, but i think Elantra is somehow have less km/l than the Altis.
And also i'm afraid if Elantra also have the knocking issue just like the accents.

I think the Altis is a safe buy.
