    someone mentioned about the PMS schedule of HARI, i hope you are aware of that. P8k every 3 months ang gastos mo sa oil change pa lang.
    mejo out of topic yung tanong ko sir. Pero bakit ano bang problema pag hindi ka nakapag PMS sa mismong casa? Anong warranty ba mawawala pag ganun sir?

    pag may malfunction sa car mo. na hindi naman dapat ganun. excluded ang wear and tear like brake pads. example, may problem sa alarm, sa radio, sa pinto at marami pang iba. icclaim mo ng warranty yan

    Hindi naman lahat ng casa is strict with the 3 months pms..

    Btw, halos lahat naman ng brand, kapag hindi ka sumunod sa PMS, baka ma void ang warranty ng kotse mo..

    Correct me if I'm wrong.. Dba yung Sorento is based on the 2nd Gen SF... If Yes, then the new Santa Fe has an all new design which will be better than the Sorento.

    the gen 2 SF (2007?) has a 2.2 crdi 150hp engine while the older (2010 below) sorento has a 2.5 145hp engine (the same one in the starex grx). the 2011 sorento is the same as the gen 2.5 SF with the 2.2 crdi 197hp engine.

    parehas lang ang new SF and 2013 sorento, they have the same features. iba lang ang kaliskis.

    Sabi ng SA 5000kms/6months daw PMS for both Santa Fe and Sorento. So parehong thumbs down when it comes to service. Yung CRV and Innova namin we follow the mileage regardless of duration, no issues with warranty. Better pa din talaga service of Toyota and Honda.

    Sirain ba electric steering? Electric din start/stop engine ng SF, sirain din ba to?

    Not all casa follow the 3 month rule, mas important pa rin ang mileage. What if after your 1000 pms, after 3 months ay 500 kms lang nadagdag? No one in their right mind including the service advisors would insist na change oil na dapat yung unit. Electric steering sirain? I don't think so.

    BTW, I looked at the 3 cars mentioned.... CRDi sportage, 2013 Sorento and 2013 Santa Fe....I bought the Santa Fe by virtue of looks, features ad I NEED a 7-seater

    I bought the sorento because i only need a 5 seater, comfortable ride, powerful engine, roomy cabin. The bells and whistles of the sta fe are nice to have but i hv survived driving in baguio and sagada with an older car without even needing hill assist or descent. Nice to have the start button but what if that conks out at the most unfortunate time.

    Thus the sorento fits my practical needs. What do i need to upgrade ? Possibly a HU which would probably cost 30-40k.

    I also need a 7 seater vehicle. Either way, kahit sorento or santa fe, almost identical naman yan. Magkakatalo na lang yan sa service. Ako walang problema sa service ng hyundai at kia.

    hill assist? descent? kung aakyat ka ng pinatubo would you use your SF or sorento? di naman di ba, so wat da fak for yung mga features na yun on a softroader? kung mago-offroad ka you get a vehicle with a manual 4x4, like a lc70. not one with an a/t. also, if you are going to take your vehicle in such a situation, won't it be better you first learn how to do it without any electronics to assist you? like learning to do it with just your instincts controlling your feet? and in the process know what is possible and not?

    naalala ko tuloy some years back may nag-post dito (o sa kotse.com?) na lalaban daw siya ng pustahan with his ride, karera to pinatubo. his car, a honda crv hehehe! fanboi!

    anyway, it all boils down to what you want and what you can afford. if you think you need a 7 seater, then both the SF and sorento have 7-seater models. if you only need a 5-seater then the sorento fits the bill. if you want all those gizmos and do not consider the possibility of them going wrong a worry, then go for the high-end models. (di ba may mga sf and sorento na nagloloko yung start button? just imagine an emergency and the button fails.) and of course nasa budget mo yan, kung kaya mo ba e. 4 years ago i could afford a totl 4x4 SF and i did, 3 months ago hangang sorento lx lang kaya ko e di yun lang. so if you really want the more expensive totl model and you can afford it, why not. you deserve every bit of luxury your hard work can provide.

    Just follow the 5k PMS interval, that will keep your car in great running condition. If by this time your engine has not encounter any problems then it shouldn't break down within 5years. Kasi yang PMS na yan engine related, so even if you dont follow their ridiculous 3month interval, warranties mo sa suspension or any other electrical parts that has nothing to do with the engine shouldn't be voided. That's how the SA explained to me.

    Its a gamble, really. But if KIA/HYUNDAI is confident enough to give 7 year warranties in Europe/USA and 5year warranty here then I'm confident also that the engine will not break within that time span, otherwise nalugi din sila and nasira pa brand nila if palit ng palit ng mga defective parts.

    The dealers are just using this to cash in from our PMS. Every 3 months for 5years?? Who follows that??

    AFAIK it's the brake switch that fails. Kaya hindi nag-start kasi you have to step on the brake pedal to start the engine.

    Eh pag tinopak ang brake switch, hindi ma-recognize ng push start system na naka-apak ka na sa brake pedal.

    Kung sirain siguro ang engine start button, swerte ko nalang siguro pati sa ibang kotse namin na naka-smart key.

    Ewan ko nalang talaga kung may sira ulong gagawa niyan. Ang PMS interval ko sa Tucson every 5 months kasi 1000km/month lang gamit ko dun.

    Yun SF2.5 namin sumasakto sa 3months/5000km kasi sobrang laspag. 55K na odo ngayon 2 years palang.
