I am very happy with my ride and I have no regrets in choosing this car. Again, just drive safe and everything will be okay.

Same here. Medyo na disappoint lang ako sa una bago bumili, pero after driving okay naman sa akin ang importante, drive safely.

For me, deal breaker yan. Nothing is more important than safety, especially one that guarantees best braking performance in the worse of road conditions.

I think only a small percentage wouldn't buy it due to it lacking the 4 discs. I am seeing more of them nowadays compared to a month ago. The car speaks for itself.

mas tipid m/t, lalo na 6-speed yun vs the a/t's 4-speed. however, if mostly within city ang gamit, hindi mo masyado mararamdaman yung fuel economy since sa highway lang talaga magagamit yung higher gears. also, with metro manila traffic, a/t definitely! haha

may additional maintenance yung a/t since aalagaan din yung transmission fluid, but overall maintenance should be generally the same.

+1. 90s cars are mostly drum rears, haven't really heard of drum-related accidents and failures. discs may be "better", but doesn't mean drums compromise safety.

Drum actually has a number of benefits too.

c/o wiki:
1- more economical to maintain. The only replacement part was usually the shoes at around $15/wheel instead of pads, rotors and calipers at $150/wheel
2- lower frequency of maintenance. Drums didn't corrode unlike disks
3- more environmentally friendly due to 1 and 2 and used shoes earned a return credit unlike pads and rotors so nothing was scrapped.
4- safer since no surprises from wet brakes. Disk brakes are exposed to water
5- self energizing resulting from a subtle design feature at no extra cost.
6- Wheel cylinders were simple to recondition by the owner unlike calipers.
7- Drums were lighter than disks, wheel cylinders much lighter than calipers
8- less expensive to produce

There is more to it than the discs. That is why I can't figure what the big deal is with some about the discs + abs. I think it is because Hyundai changed the specs & increased the price. If they had sold it with drums before, people would not have whined about the so called safety features. Consider this, the Vios is an disc + drum set-up yet, it is the top seller of Toyota.

Mag ingat kasi mag drive. Kahit anong ABS pa yan kung kups mag drive recipe for accident talaga yan. Maski anong sasakyan pa gamit mo.

my 2 cents, i still prefer my car to have abs. i believe i am a pretty safe driver but abs has enabled me to take evasive action against idiot motorists who don't have any road decorum.

I agree. An ABS equipped car is superior to that without. But question is, would you still buy this compact, efficient diesel car even without the ABS?
