Hello... Good morning.. Guys... Kawan... Please have test drive both of the car tat u can comment..
Preve and Elantra.. Test 1.6 with and without turbo...
Thank you..

 

[WPQ800]

Yeah i have tested th preve but havent tried th elantra...... Anyone have tested both?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

design is really nice and good form flow....

preve torque higher..but since this sonata use normal autobox...so power delivery feel should be more solid than cvt...leather looks ok from picture....but door panel.... too much plastic? :hmmmm: dashboard design also ok from picture..like preve also ok....nothing to shout....but really the outer appearance looks better..

 

[WPQ800]

yeah, agree..... it looks more 'curvy' with lotsa bodylines....

 

[detomaso_runna]

I prefer the Preve for cornering, unfortunately Preve is one of the worst in noise especially sitting at the back! The premium test car had some rattles!
Quality wise, I choose the Elantra.

Good info. Anyone wanna share?

preve for handling and acceleration if you like adrenalin's drive.
elantra - luxury & executive cruising type
price - of course elantra more expensive.
anyway choice is still the buyer's until he sign order of either one.
