brand stigma
remember chevy has changed ownership already on our shores it reminds the consumers of peugeot and renault
also trinis have blind faith in toyota and honda
and they feel ze germans are superior

yip, is Hyundai we talking about here you know, they getting better, but no turbochargers yet

no turbo locally there is a turbo sonata

what u guys think of the 2011 Sonata, went to neal & massy yesterday to check it out and was very very impressed.

May opt for the well equipped model but wanted to get some reviews here first of any problems anyone who has owned one may know of.

[vickyexp]

the new Elantra coming to blow every mid-size out of the water, once N&M dont get too excited and price it too high........ppl might still buy it, everything is overpriced these days.

That Elantra eh reach yet? I was shopping around in March for a car and the sales rep in N&M say they getting the new Elantra by June.

I saw a couple 2012 elantras on the port this morning, I guess we'll see them in the showroom later this week

The one I checked out was ok, the 1.6L engine though was dissappointing.

[ek4ever]

^^ Sonata coming with 1.6L???? It's supposed to be a 2L

sonata doesnt come in a 1.6L, it comes in a 2.0 and 2.4L and it comes in 3 editions:

Luxury edition - 2.0L
Well Equipped - 2.0L
Fully loaded - 2.4L

i think u getting tied up with the 16valve DOHC GDI engine. I was in the showroom today and friday.

I'm extremely impressed with the Well Equipped version, its just the right mix...some of the features include:

Push to start
full panoramic sunroof
18" rims
heated driver & passenger seats
Fully automated with memory saving passenger and driver seats
Digital dashboard guages
Xenon headlights
Digital display for climate control
6 speaker sound system including bass speaker and amplifier
Sound system controls on steering wheel incl. on/off volume and bluetooth connectivity
6 speed tiptronic transmission
Rain sensors
Solar glass
Wing mirror indicator lights
Paddle shifters on steering

Sonata is amazing. In some ways I think the new Elantra is just as amazing looking.

First batch to arrive this week at neal and massey. 1.6L 130 hp with a 6 speed automatic.







sorry if it is a re post

Starting price is around 170,000 i think. I see the car is classed as a mid size car now?

[noshownogo]

midsized car the price very competitive tho.

[cinco]

midsized @170 will have lots of buyers
considering the corolla is now 198 as per their open house saturday

[Stephon.]

That vehicle real good looking boi.

[*$kїđž!™]

corolla - 198K

that car is so bland....198K let them keep that

[Stephon.]

Everyone should know that people will rush for this car, and the price wil most likely pass 200k by 2012.

[noshownogo]

but wait nah, Hyundai can boast that the new Elantra's 1.6 makes almost as much power as the Toyota Corolla 1.8 and Civic 1.8 both of which pushing close to mid $250's AND the Elantra has a 6speed auto, Toyota has an ancient 4speed and Honda as last century 5speed.

[*$kїđž!™]

honestly like say 5 years ago I would swear that I would never be caught purchasing a hyundai or kia........but now.....I really would consider purchasing one of these...

they have come real far in terms of looks, and power....

amazing.........................................................................

they leaving other manufacturers in the dust...............

[DSM_05]

Apparently the base model is 170, and the GLS model is 190. The new ceratos also come with the 6 speed trans.
http://kia-buzz.com/?p=6300

In some other markets the new Kia Cerato and Hyundai Elantra are coming with the 1.6 GDI engine, which puts out just under 140 hp.

Local ones are coming witih a "non-GDI" 1.6 (Gamma) engine, which puts out the 130 hp.

[Habit7]

The one I checked out was ok, the 1.6L engine though was dissappointing.

Oopps, my bad, I had just checked out the i30 with its 1.6L and I guess I thought the 16valve was 1.6 (dyslexia)

But the Sonata is a nice looking car, the price is competive in the States but in T&T the price isn't as competitive. If I had that money to spend on an entry luxury vehicle in T&T I would buy a VW Passat. But IMHO the Kia Optima looks better but it has less kit.

Have you yet driven the Chevy Cruze? Take it from me, you'll be pleasantly surprised!!

[Vee]

Can somebody please update! thks! excellent thread btw

[acesinghit]

People who paying close to and over 200k for a hyundai elantra real crazy. How can the value brand price their cars with the big boys from Japan? Are they nuts?

Also, some of you guys quick to say the Elantra has the most powerful 1.6 right now in the market with the same output as Honda's 1.8 but guess what, it must be!!! It has direction injection plus dual CVVT/ intake and exhaust valve timing.

The same crowd of people who saying "boy doh buy no galant or cedia gdi boy dem ting no good, and doh buy no lancer glx boy dem ting have cvt" but they buying cvt nissans and audis and now they wanna buy gdi engines from hyundai.

Neal & Massy you guys have to drop them prices to about $150k or you can price it like a Jetta and lose out.

[cinco]

big boys from japan have been losing out for years as have the value priced germans
doh beat up

[nes123]

doh beat up

would be curious to see where or how you arrived at that when as we are seeing here the Koreans now learning a thing or two from the germans....case in point...count how many focus' , octavia's and Jetta's on the road from 2005 go up....if you wanna argue about resale you will be surprised to see these cars actually have higher resale than the Korean/Japanese equivalents....

[Stephon.]

Really? I always thought that japanese cars had a higher resale value

[cinco]

leff dem nah
you getting a bora for less than a b14
