Choosing a compact suv - need your help

[weisshorn]

saka mayaman ka naman *SG. nagkokolek ka ng CRDi cars na available dito sa'tin eh. yun Great Wall mayroon CRDI na SUV sila ngaun, murang 1.1M ata. di ko matandaan eh pero cRDI

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

You can test drive the Tucson first if possible. For me, the suspension killed it kasi sobra tagtag on uneven surfaces. It might not be a deal breaker for you so try it out first.

I actually have test drove a unit before making a reservation for a unit. Sa sobrang ingat ko sa pag test drive hindi ko siya dinaan sa mga lubak lubak haha. Thanks for pointing out that tho. Because of you and SG im now thinking of putting my unit on hold and streching my budget a bit.. Will put up a new thread for that na lng. Nakakahiya naman kay TS at parang inoovertake ko na thread niya hehe. Thanks sachiel for the advise!

*dwee...perfectly fine by me. Oks lang. Santa fe ka na....para dalawa na kayo ng wife ko.

Question lang sirs about the smart key ng hyundai. Pag may smart key ba kasama na din yung push start ignition? Thanks

[allenjo]

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

[sachiel]

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.

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.

I see. Then Sportage has a better ride overall than Tucson.

Wala pa ako nakita sa kalye ng new Sta Fe. Wala pa ba units?

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.

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.
