Car of the Month - Asianauto.com

Hyundai Elantra 2.0 CVVT test drive AT a selling price of RM93,888.00, this Elantra needs to be taken seriously as a maincontender in the junior executive car segment where Toyota and Honda have been in logger heads over the crown for years.

The new Elantra is a celebration of the senses. And market researchers at its headquarters in Korea will tell you that feel and emotion are what sell brands and cars and so that is why they have given this new Elantra a new sense of style in line with its other best selling models.

This is the all-new Hyundai Elantra sedan, the latest edition of the best selling Hyundai car in the country. This new model has grown. It's swollen in every dimension compared to the old Elantra. Which is just as well, since it is now something that the previous car needed to compete with the flurry of competitors: space and power.

The good news continues with a Hyundai design team putting together sheet metal that shows a car that will easily accepted by all markets with little effort in convincing buyers. It is a handsome and somewhat easily forgiven design that challenges the mind to find a quirk or missing potential.

Birthday celebration - Era, Nisha and Effa












Happy birthday!!


Keretaku Kemek!





Not even 2 months!! Kereta aku kena langgar dek sorang apek nie kat Bukit Sentosa. Actually, this thing happened yesterday evening when aku tengah ambik satay yang aku order untuk my little girl's birthday. As usual, I will not park my car dekat2 orang, yela mana tau orang tu main bukak jer pintu. So aku park kereta aku on the other side...bila aku keluar kedai jer, wife aku tengah tercungap-cungap panggil aku...rupa2 nyer kereka aku dah kena beb!! Macam nak luruh rasa jantung aku...nasib baik hanya kena bumper, tp kemek jugak la...ArgHH!! @%(&*%..apek tu main undur kereta tanpa putar stereng dia sampai habis....
So, hari nie, aku dgn ayah pergi jumpa anak apek tu mintak ganti rugi, sbb semalam apek tu cakap dia akan bayar. Dapat la sikit....RM400 from him. Then, aku dgn ayah straight pergi ke Hyundai di PJ. Kat sana, kalau ketuk dan simen termasuk cat paling koman pon dalam RM450. Then kami tanya kalau tukar semua bumper? Tokei tu cakap dalam RM900. "Itu macam manyak senang ooo...tara letak itu kereta sini." Kalau tak aku kena letak kereta kat bengkel dalam 2 malam, itu pon 80% perfect. So aku ambik keputusan ganti semua bumper...terbang RM500 aku tak pasal2..:(
Hari selasa nanti aku kena datang balik Hyundai untuk pasang bumper baru. The workshop kalau tak silap tutup pukul 5.30pm. Pasang bumper mungkin akan ambil masa dalam 2-3 jam kalau ikut cakap tokei tu.

Hari nie rasa tak larat sangat sampai kat office aku asyik menggigil jer...Then, I straight went to the clinic to see a doctor. After makan ubat, badan rasa sihat sikit, aku pon beli serba sedikit barang-barang untuk hari jadi anak aku esok. Malam selepas ambil isteri aku, kami pergi beli kek dan tambah lagi apa yang patut. Sampai tengah malam aku, wife and effa buat kerja-kerja membungkus....hehehe.
