Choosing a compact suv - need your help

**Starex_Gold** · July 19th, 2012 10:48 AM

It boils down on "how you really like the car" and "are you willing to spend that much for that car" for you to pay 1.7M for a compact SUV. IMO the price of my Tucson CRDi Premium is ridiculous but I enjoy every moment using the car hehe.. Iniisip ko nalang binayaran lahat ng features nung Tucson, kaya nga "Premium Package" daw.

For the current price of the Tucson CRDi Premium (1.728M), get the new Santa Fe. Pero depende rin sa features yan. If I'm getting the new Santa Fe, I'm willing to shell out 2.3M for all the bells and whistles

ngayon lang ako nakapagbackread nanalo pala SF wala yun dati sa unang choices...pero ok din sakin yun santa fe smooth yun ride ang bilis pa ng VGT...remember ko dati driving vios sa sctex 150kph taz my nagovertake santa fe parang dinaanan lang ako ang tulin... nice choice mas tipid pa Crdi

*timrev....hindi po....hehehe

Sulit na yun Sta Fe kahit 1.7M variant. This is probably the best model of Hyundai for me. Wag lang paloko sa 5 year warranty.

No problem! I actually wasn't expecting that for the Tucson since it sells like pancakes even in other countries and the reviews rarely mention the suspension performance. If it has the same ride as Sta. Fe, CX5 and CRV will still have a hard time. Oh, check out also the headrest sa front seats. It's directed too forward so your neck might get uncomfortable. Ginawa ko dati, inangat ko sa maximum yun headrest haha. Tawa ng tawa kapatid ko.

Musta suspension ng Sportage compared sa Tucson? Curious ako since same platform yun dalawa. Baka mas maganda suspension ng Sportage.

He he.. Yes pop CRDi nga yun, yan ang engine ng Great Wall Haval SUV na 7th & 20th placer last 2012 DAKAR Rally. Marami sa mga known brand ang nag quit, di nakatapos sa rally na ito but GW survived. Toyota finished 3rd & 6th while Mitsubishi 9th in this Rally... That engine is also using Bosch fuel system like your Sta Fe.. Not a laughing stock at all eh!! he he

Ok lang din naman sir. The bottomline was my wife is going to have a new car. Sinuko ko na yung XV. Baka nga may gustong mag takeover ng reservation ko kasi 2 months waiting na ako and due na dumating august. Hindi ko pa na file yung cancellation ng unit.

Can't compare eh. Magkaiba suspension ng Sportage at Tucson ko. Yung ARB at rear stab link magkaiba ng pwesto at itsura. Yung Tucson naka ASD shocks pa. Haha. Pero kung sa parehong 2WD mas maganda daw sa Sportage.

Allenjo, congrats to your wife for seeing the light (with regard to Korean brands) and for choosing Santa Fe. When my wife and I were car hunting 6 months ago, I saw the SF and told her this was "the one". Our main considerations were seating capacity and space. Cant say much about the other technical stuff but I knew it was the perfect fit for our family (we only have one kid but I have 3 siblings who usually ride along with us). Okay na sana kaya lang di kaya ng budget. So Grand Livina nalang. Hehe

Magaganda mga Suzuki Grand Vitara kung compact SUV lang naman ang pakay.

Mahuhusay mga 1.9 DdiS o di kaya yung 2.7 or 3.2 V6 versions. Sana offer ng Suzuki sa Pinas mga ito, o kahit yung diesel man lang sana.
