2007 Outlander GLS or 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 Crdi?

[Tikoyman]

Hindi na kami nakabili ng Fortuner last month dahil sa mga bagong SUV na pagpipilian ngayon.

I'm torn between these two SUV...I prefer the Mitsu sana but it has bad refutation sa previous Lancer namin. While Hyundai naman ay di ko sure ang reliability. Can you pls help me decide My wife very much against sa Outlander but i'm doubtful naman sa Hyundai brand.

Thanks mga Tsikot peeps!

Hyundai/Kia have topped the JD Power surveys for new-car reliability in 2006. So they are really improving their quality. Yun nga lang talo ka pa rin sa resale value due to the bad perception of Hyundai/Kia.

Outlander get my vote. Nagkaroon na kami ng Mitsubishi before( Lancer Gti & Mitsubishi L300). Service ng mitsubishi before is not at par w/ honda or even hyundai pero ok naman experience namin mitsu compare to our STAREX.

Maganda STAREX interior & exterior e ok sya pero ang dami na agad nasira sa STAREX namin compare sa mitsu namin, ang lancer namin e nagsimula lumabas mga sira after 9 years w/ us, ang L300 naman e up to the point na benta namin e wala binigay sakit ng ulo sa amin except hindi talaga magandang aircon nya.

i think it's not fair to compare the '07 outlander to the santa fe crdi. maybe compare it with the v6 version of the santa fe perhaps?

Syempre biased ako

Test drive both. hindi rin naman 100% reliable ang japan made tsikot kasi ang Honda City namin e nagkaroon ng leak sa rear windshield pero yon lang naging problema nya. Ang HYUNDAI lang e mabilis sa warranty provided you bring your case to HARI, some casa kasi make unreasonable reasons why they are not going to warranty this & that. Ang STAREX namin kahit medyo madami na nasira e lahat naman e na-warranty nila. Another thing is cheap ang parts & service ng hyudai compare to Honda.

I'll go for Hyundai SF syempre...That's my baby!

For me, get the Santa Fe if you do alot of kms a year or need a 7-seater occasionally. While get the Outlander if you like a faster drive.

I think both are good cars. But one thing you have to accept is either way, you may lose alot in terms of resale value due to Korean car image and recently bad Mitsu image due to recall scandal.
