Saw a lot of these during a recent trip to Singapore, which I thought was odd since I haven't seen one here on our shores. I thought it wasn't launched yet but apparently it was so I guess Civic is running away with the market again, which is a shame.

Love the look of exterior. Properly sporty without having to shout it out with silly vents and bulge (rather rice 'Turbo' badge notwithstanding).

But that interior though...what.the.hell...red seats!? :confused:

If I was in the market, I would still buy one over a Civic and source second hand Recaros immediately after..lol

Not sure if the airbags are in the seats.... if yes... no Recaros..

Now, swapping the seats out for Recaro does sweeten the deal
Interesting proposition indeed

Looks like it is, although this photo is from the Hyundai Canada.

I would prefer 2017 Hyundai Elantra.

Not Just New, but Better – hints the Hyundai Elantra ad, and it’s not too off the mark.
Prefer it over what? New?Its technically an older car than the Civic. Better than what? My poop? What mark? My skid mark on my stained underwear?

Did you cringe every time you get in the car in those hot red seats?

Hi, i am totally new in car maintaining as i am going to get my first own car soon.
Is Tufoil suitable to use for a brand new car? Will it void warranty?

I understand that every 5000 km we need to change car oil which we called black oil in cantonese. So is Tufoil a kind of black oil or it's a supplement oil which means we still need to use black oil + Tufoil?

Where do we fill Tufoil into? How? When?

Sry if the questions r too newbie :)
