Hello, I'm posting a new topic to ask questions as I can't find any information about this in this forum. Hope I'm posting it in the right place. I am planning a road trip to Malaysia with extended family. There will be 7 of us. My car, being a sedan, can only take 5 at most. 7 includes 4 adults and 3 kids - for the 3 kids present, need one infant child seat (less than a year old), one toddler's child seat (2+ years old), and one full sized child seat for a 5 year old. So quite obviously I need something substantially bigger than my Sonata. So I am looking for a cost effective way to take a road trip up north - hence looking to rent a large MPV. I have in the mind the MY Hyundai Starex which I rented from Hertz MY a long time ago. In that occasion, it was rented from KLIA cos my sister's family took a flight into MY. This time, I intend to start from home here in SG. I see many of these MY Hyundai Starex coming into SG to pick up passengers into JB for day trips. Just wanted to ask if anyone here has tried something like that. I intend to rent the car for two weeks in MY. I need the car to come out to SG to pick up my family plus fit all the child seats and return us to SG. Looking to do Melaka, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands, KL & Penang. I have done this before in my own car. Any price/charges indication would be quite helpful. Also any other considerations? Insurance, legal matters, accident claims, and word of advice? I have driven the car before (the 2011 model) in the previous trip where I picked up the car at KLIA. I have also looked at some advertisements for such car rentals in Carousell. Not sure if anyone has used them before and have any experience to share? One such advertisement rent the car for S$135 for weekday, and S$145 for weekends, plus S$110 for one way shuttle to pick up from SG. Thank you very much!

2011 Hyunda Elantra aka Avante Spy Shot: The first clear shots of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra's interior have appeared on Korean web forums. These pictures show a completely undisguised dashboard whose design inspiration comes from the new Tucson and 2011 Sonata sedan. Two tone inserts and a redesigned centre console are of a higher class and quality. Engines are still unknown but it's expected that the entry-level model will be a 1.6-litre four cylinder direct injection while a more powerful 2.0-litre Theta also beckons. Rivals are now sporting potent turbo diesels and the Elantra might just sneak in the new 2.0-litre R diesel worth over 400Nm mainly for European markets. A hybrid is also being whispered about. The 2011 Elantra might start appearing at US auto shows during the second half of the 2010. Looks like this is going to be Hyundai Interior signature liao..... Source: Worldcarfans
