Hi Tsikot Experts!!

After much deliberation based on price, "looks", performance/fuel efficiency, the opinions of Tsikot (and other forums) members and of course, my budget, I've finally decided to get the HYUNDAI ELANTRA 1.8 GLS. To be honest, I would have loved the Ford Focus Diesel but it's out of my budget. Thanks again for the valuable feedback that everyone here gave me.

Now, it's time for me to look for a bank that can give me the best deal/lowest interest. My budget is 15k a month after the downpayment. Do you guys have any advise for me or should I just create another topic?

Good choice!

I've had a few japanese cars before going the korean route. Quite frankly, my 2 hyundai's (tucson, elantra) surprised me when it comes to reliability. 5 years na ang tucson ko at wala akong naging major issue except for the code alarm control unit which have to be replaced. No problem so far with my Elantra GLS although its too early to tell since one year pa lang.

In contrast, i had to replace my city's shocks and bearings on its 3rd year. The navara also had issues with the door locks on its first year.

However, tama yung comments ng iba regarding hyundai casa's. Be careful dahil maraming mapagsamantalang service centers ang hyundai (though ganoon din si honda).

I ended up bringing my hyundais to hyundai dasma. Medyo maliit pero di gahaman yung mga service advisor nila.
