wangxiaodi 1st Gear August 1, 2019 Share August 1, 2019 Just bought a used Hyundai Elantra 2011 model. Left about 2 years. So far quite a comfy drive. Pumped full tank about closed to 40litre. Not sure how much distant it can cover though. Any Elantra users here to share more info and your good and bad points? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much distant it can cover though. Any Elantra users here to share more info and your good and bad points? Fuel usage depends alot on your right Foot & Type of Road use...manly Highways,13-14Km/L should not be a problem,City Driving should get 10Km/L.

Still trying to drive around and getting familiar with this car. But generally i am quite impressed with this model, Elantra as compared to other model like new Avante, 2019 model. Went to test drive the Avante 2019, but seems like did not have very big Wow factor. Especially when driving. Seems like quite normal. Elantra seems more sleek and classy for the interior and exterior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged August 1, 2019 Share August 1, 2019 Those 2011 Elantra are selling at almost $10,000 annual dep, as compared to a brand new Avante, which depreciates only $6,600 a year if you drive till scrap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much distant it can cover though. Any Elantra users here to share more info and your good and bad points? same here. I collected on 2nd Aug. Model 2011. Pumped abt 36 litres on sunday. So far going at 13km/l average (city+highway). My previous ride Peugeot 5008 was more comfy though. But maintenance very high. Lets see this one, how it fares. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrytales 4th Gear August 6, 2019 Share August 6, 2019 why would you buy the older elantra at sky high depre when you can get the previous gen elantra/new avante a lower depre? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangxiaodi 1st Gear August 6, 2019 Author Share August 6, 2019 why would you buy the older elantra at sky high depre when you can get the previous gen elantra/new avante a lower depre? Previous generation? You mean the Avante 2006-2008? When we buy and change car, sometime we look at other aspect. I was driving old nissan COE car. If i want to change and throw some money down to another ride, at least must be something that give me a bigger difference in driving sense and comfort. 2011 elantra so far can give me and my family this. if i change to the old Avante........ it felt the same as the old kia cerato forte 2008-2009.. the change and feel is not too drastic. when you buy car in sg...it is all about losing money one la.. its a matter of losing less or more. But buy short tern second hand car at least will lose less. the new Avante, 2019, seriously i don't like the front and exterior. Went inside and test drive.. Also didn't felt very "shiok".. just my own 3cents worth of personal opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess its too late to regret now. Since it is already committed. Just drive this car for another 1 year to 1.5 year then decides what is the next plan. If car is good, no major issue, might consider extend 5 year COE. or just trade in with car dealer for another "newer" car .

Thanks for sharing cheers but in general, the elantra generation of cars are pretty good and reliable. proper oil changes on time will do its job, wear and tear are unavoidable as long as its not some major damage, the car runs like a tank. drove the avante 09 and now the new avante. https://www.hotcars.com/hyundai-elantra-1-million-miles-5-years/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhrajbir Clutched August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 700km possible, just whack east to west via pie everyday at 3am to and fro, confirm hit 700km. Various factors to consider - 1. tank capacity 2. fuel used - shell/esso/etc etc - i find esso better than shell. other no idea. 3. how you drive 4. traffic I stay punggol and work various locations in sg. Currently will be going tuas for this month. So far 14.2 kmpl. may get 600 km get out of full tank. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My early 2016 Elantra MD can go approx. 580-600km on a full tank. 30% normal road and 70% expressway. Fueling with 95 SPC caused near my home. Normal to light footed.
