The 1.5M Peso SUV Comparo

[hominid]

which of the above mentioned SUVs has the lowest fuel consumption? i have a friend who's going to buy a new SUV dahil magastos daw masyado ung fieldmaster pajero nya... for him an SUV with high km/L would be helpful.. need your inputs guys..tnx

Hmmmm.... Sta. Fe.

Pero best value for money 1.5M SUV eh Sorento.

[FPJ]

Hyundai Santa Fe! Panalo ka dyan! OK din Outlander kung pormahan hanap mo.

From the Oct 2007 Issue of Top Gear, Isuzu Challenge Event, Alterra registered 27km/L travelling from Manila to Mindanao beating D-Max and Crosswind.

The Santa Fe is about 13km/L sa highway according sa Santa Fe thread.

yah ive heard of it nga that alterra has a good km/L ratio.. is this true based on owners' experience? kasi parang it's hard to believe na ganun ung figure..tnx

Check the Isuzu Alterrra Thread.

They say this is the most fuel efficient among the SUVs in the market - Fortuner, Everest, Santa Fe.

Though it is not the most powerful.

Fortuner is the most powerful on the 3.0L Displacement followed by Everest.
So I guess Isuzu tweaked the engine - Thought not the most powerful, but the most fuel efficient.

Parang mahal yung dodge for a 2 liter engine. Baka hindi pa AWD yun o AWD na?

[ressie]

mukhang the best talaga alterra pag ganyan ang fuel consumption nya! ayos kung ganun!

Don't make final judgments. You speak like you see the future. Right now, since you Korean fan boy is acting like kissin' n lustin' your SUV's. You might ditch them in the future. Just like what happened on the Isuzu Trooper.

This thread has been full of Santa Fe owners. Even other SUV's cannot breath anymore. So much for pride.

I'm not posting this to argue but I find this offensive, I have back read on this thread and most of the "korean fan boys" that you mentioned like myself have posted based on their experience on their vehicle that they like to share to those who inquire and it just so happens that we had a good one on this particular korean made model. If this irritates other people then we might as well keep it to ourself. Sure, this thread is full of santa fe owners, maybe because we like to tell the world and reiterate how good it is so that others may like to try it as well. Most of us(owners) have probably owned more than 1 car of different make and models but maybe none of which made such a great impression that we are proud to say that it is a great buy.

I have no quarrels with you drey and I respect and admire most your informative posts since I joined tsikot. Peace bro.... from now on I will not post anything about the santa fe in comparos to give more breathing room to other SUV owners. Ciao and good day.

Sometimes our choice will boil down to which variant will actually be easier to maintain and maintenance surely includes the fuel you feed. For me, I'd rather get an SUV with the best fuel efficiency rather than power because that is what's going to matter in the long run.

i dont believe that this poll will justify what suv is really the best.this is not even a fraction of partiality.it wont even convince the general public that hyundai is better at all these days.peoples opinion varies greatly from one another.its true that hyundai is catching up a lot because theres not much for them to do otherwise, if they want to survive in the automotive business.for the SF fans, well, you have the right to be a satisfied owner.for the japanese car fans, u dont have to worry, be confident, dont feel insecured by these polls.its a fact that japanese cars are still the better choice,its hyundai that suffered the most actually.

my taste for cars always counts for originality, thats why i really cant stomach the cayenne-esque, q7-esque, touareg-esque design of santa fe. or the crdi, vtg which they got from the germans.

japanese cars have gone a long way and that makes them well-established even when time comes that realibility becomes an issue of concern ( isuzu workmanship, mitsubishi underchassis, nissan steel, toyota d4d woes, etc etc) yet they still patronize the cars from the land of the rising sun.

if this tsikot forum was in existence during the dark ages of korean cars, i woudnt even imagine how you'll all be battered & slaughtered verbally in any tsikot forums.

the bottom line is, you express what your heart dictates about your car.its always a matter of personal taste & satisfaction which makes you a happy owner.its in our human nature, its what makes us unique.

its what makes tsikot forum great.

It's his loss? Grabe ka naman... Ano yan? Mamamatay ba sya kung hindi sya bumili ng Korean vehicle? Anong mawawala sa akin if I choose Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ford and other Japanese makes?

How can you say so? Do you have any proof about this? What an irresponsible post you've made here mate. Go search something in the net first before you throw some garbage.

This thread has been full of Santa Fe owners. Even other SUV's cannot breath anymore. So much for pride.

Bakit ganito 'to parang nag hahamon ng away dito? Peaceful thread naman ito from the start eh.

[yuichi]

I don't expect these comments coming from a Moderator. How do you know that Hyundai's CRDI engines will never cross 10 years? Maybe you are an engine designer?You work in Ferrari, Renault F1? You are making an irresponsible comment sir and You know so much about HARI, do you work with them and telling us here we are not in their top priority? Go to DTI and have your story heard there not in these peaceful forum.

brod, medyo impulsive at newbie moderator, peace lang tayo dyan.
