    im not a technical person so not going to touch any technical terms, im a motion-graphic designer and avid apple fan so im more into user-experience and aesthetics..

    - design is timeless. everybody says its a damn nice looking car. very bold, brave design, different than the normal toyota or honda look (notice the Vios, City, Forte and Preve front looks very similar). I mean just look at the Veloster and u'll agree nobody have the balls to make that kind of design for a car in that price range..for now

    - im not going technical here but overall driving experience is good. handle road bumps and puddles well and confidence in cornering.. torque and pickups feel smooth with 6 speed transmission with manual stick, driving on highways is a joy.

    -overall noise is so-so.. i have not driven other car yet but i think the Elantra can be made to suppress noise better. Tire noise can be abit high due to the tire itself producing quite high surface noise (again, dont know the technical terms for this)..

    - the seat, damn u Inokom your QC people are retards, i got my seat squeaking in just 1 month using this car. Im not a big fat guy but the seat feels like im sitting on a lorry or something. when i brake or cornering, can hear the seat squeaking like its going to come off!...going to send for inspection see if the service center can do something about it.. i love the electric seat but probably the QC doesnt check if its installed properly

    - love the auto wipers, auto lights, the DRL, the electric side mirror (wish it will fold auto when turn off engine tho).. the car entertainment system automatically pickup my bluetooth signal when i got a call and goes back to radio when done talking, which is pretty nice..the mic pickups are quite good and i don't have to shout when using Siri on the iPhone.

    - the headlight hight can be adjusted.. even do its not HID but its ok i guess

    - overall space is awesome. it looks big from the outside so it ought to have a big roomy cabin. all my friends says its big inside.. the legroom is good for both front and passenger and because the driver seat can adjust the supports for thighs it can be really comfortable. the Nappa leather is not so much of a leather tho

    - there's few forum on FB where people modify their Elantra (especially the Philippines) and they didn't have to do much to make it even look nicer, more manly.... so upgrading is not much of a problem because of the already bold design.

    - fuel consumption is good. the fuel estimator/indicator is even better as it track how many kilometers i can go before running out of fuel. RM80 can fill full tank and give me roughly 500KM to go.. even when the tank's empty and the tank indicator on, there's still 70-80KM left I can use..
    - its a sports version, so why the hell u take out the sunroof for this sports version??? the high-spec premium has it! the high spec premium doesnt even have any bodykit but has sunroof!? WTF?? i was totally disappointed thinking getting the sunroof with this sports version (my fault not checking and confusing the premium got sunroof but the sports does not) but come on Hyundai! its a freaking sports version!!

    - the driver seat

    - some minor dashboard sound, not noticeable unless if u go really quiet. its a moving vehicle so i think its forgivable..

    - should have use better tire with less noise.. but then im planning to upgrade the 17inch to an 18 inch..might as well get a better tire

To improve
- give me the god-damn sunroof! - noise sound from tire and overall noise suppression could be improved - sunroof goddemmit! - HID headlights - sunroof! sunroof! -
Yes, I would recommend this car
