Then can deliver to customer. That is what my SE days. So between 7 to 10 days for... should be 11 Apr, says will call me if earlier. So obviously won't be earlier lar...

Another quick update here... I didn't quite like the black leather interior of the grey colour car and wanted something lighter. So I asked my SE to get their local outfitters to put in the dark grey that was on the Elantra Elite display model in the showroom. He said ok, he will check.

 

Turns out that the sunroof Sonata comes with factory fitted leather seats and so he says he can't change the leather. In addition, because of the side airbags built into the seats, Komoco doesn't want to touch the seats. For the non-sunroof model, he told me that the side bolsters are original factory fitted leather. Only the centre seat portion is fitted locally with the perforated leather. The original is a kind of fabric.

 

So it's going to be all black for me inside... sigh...

Looked up the Ebay link that someone provided somewhere...

 

This is exactly what I wanted... going to get it once I get my car... :)

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Bumper-Trunk-Protection-Cargo-Mat-waterproof-For-HYUNDAI-2015-16-Sonata-i45-/152009050773?fits=Year%3A2015%7CMake%3AHyundai%7CModel%3ASonata&hash=item2364720a95:g:~IEAAMXQHU1RtT0D

 

I'll also be looking into fitting the front for lamps...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Genuine-Parts-Fog-Light-Lamp-Assembly-Kit-for-HYUNDAI-2015-2016-LF-Sonata-/171740803554?fits=Year%3A2015%7CMake%3AHyundai%7CModel%3ASonata&hash=item27fc8cb1e2:g:OvEAAOSwPhdVHJqS

 

However, there's no sign of the column switch for this. I checked out the Tucson and the column switch shows a spring loaded lever for both front and rear fog lamps. The Tucson has both front and rear fog lamps. And the column switch looks exactly the same. Maybe can purchase from Komoco Motors and then fix outside since Komoco Motors doesn't want to do fittings of extra parts even if they are OEM parts due to lemon law. My old Elantra I also fitted front fog lamps that I bought from Komoco Motors with the column switch and they fitted everything for me. Nowadays services not so good anymore... sigh...

Will post when I get it lor...

 

But do note that the car doesn't come with fog lamps, front or back contrary to what you see on the specs sheet or the brochures. Also no electronic parking brake - it's a foot parking brake. And rear windows for both trims not auto up/down function. No head lamp washers for top trim. No low beam for the front lights cos of the day-time running lights. But there are static bending lights for both trims. Just in case you miss these when comparing with other models.

Thanks for the comparison. Fogs lamp are not critical and since there is DRL at the same spot, it still looks good from cosmetic angle. On the low beam part, you mean no marker lamp lights right? Cannot imagine a car with no low beam and only DRL at night.

Rest of specs I can accept except wish they had the sunshades for rear windows and a bigger display screen for the headunit.

Yes no marker lamps. Just the day time running lights. Yes the sunshades would have been good. But I guess can't have everything lar...

 

Going to collect the car in an hour's time.

Got the car... it's like driving a computer...  [dizzy] post-167839-0-90416100-1459956815_thumb.jpg

 

The car manual is one inch thick. And no, it's entirely in English. And comes with a companion guide for added features...

 

Got a bonus or so my SE claims.... I have a 7" multimedia system as opposed to the 4.3" seen in the showroom and test drive models... he says he ordered it in for me specially cos of my dad... and it costs $1200... when the car starts, it shows the Hyundai logo splash screen. No idea what brand except that it is factory fitted from Korea. Comes with navigation and the rest of the stuff you expect. No time to explore yet... looks complicated... no manual... the car manual so thick but doesn't have anything on this screen... sianzzzz.... I have to really click through everything... sad... not much time...

 

Will post here when I have some time to go through the car...

Congrats! Enjoy your new car. Heard the 7" screen is a standard from now in sunroof models?
