[freespin]

santa fe po ako!

[pup2]

puro naman Santa Fe, nakaka-umay na

Eh pano, 2 lang ang choices? hehe. Kaya ouit na FXT at Outie. Siyempre SF na.

[Les007]

Santa Fe ako.

mas trusted ko paren ang ford kung tibay lang din compared to hyundai...

I beg to differ! I have both! My Pinatubo edition Ford Ranger Cylinder head cracked at 15,000km, Belts squeaked at 10k km, Clutch gave way at 58k km, only to find out that a 4x2 clutch lining was used instead for a 4x4, and all of these are not covered by warranty of course, I had long debates about this at FORD but in the end I ended up paying for everything. Takaw pa sa diesel. No more ford for me.

Sorry for the OT, I just want to share my experience.

Just want to share my experience, after having undergone numerous test driving and reseach, I finally choose everest. It has the balance of comfort and power. correct ko lng I am 5 8 in height and mas comfortable ang 3rd seat ng everest compared to sta fe and mas malaki ang cargo area ng eve. Power wise compared with 2.2 crdi ng sta fe walang sinabi and sta fe. At nakuha ko yung unit considering all the discounts na 200,000 cheaper with sta fe. Everest handles like my honda civic pero my malaki talaga ang turning radius ng eve of course.

how far did you test the SF's power and comfort? its 2.2l Engine may be the top in the 2.0-2.5l Diesel class here. i did not find the Everest's ride more comfortable and smoother on road.

I disagree with docruben

The Everests third row is very very dissapointing... Im 5 7 and I cant sit in the back for more the 30 mins... ang sikip!

I beg to disagree that everest w/ jeepney type rear suspension has the same smooth handling of Civic. Baka explorer naman yung na-road test mo sir

[niky]

The Explorer is actually kinda floaty.

The Everest is a bit stiff, but not as stiff as the Fortuner. Some dealerships put too much tire pressure in, though, which makes it feel stiff (45 psi pa nga, eh.. Pang E150 yun! ).

It handles decently well, though not nearly as good as a Civic. It's at least as good as the Fortuner, with better steering but more body roll.

[SIZE=3]Kung sa highway di naman po siguro nagkakalayo ang isat-isa. Pero ang topic po ay 4x4 comparison. So, alin po ba talaga ang mas angat sa offroad sa dalawang vehicle? Ang mahalaga po kasi sa offroading ay malampsan mo yung mga obstacle, di po ba? Nagtatanong lang po para mai-share naman po ang personal experiences ng mga owners ng subject 4x4 vehicles. At least magkaroon po ng idea yung mga readers na nagbabalak bumili ng 4x4 Everest or 4x4 Santa Fe. Salamat po.[/SIZE]

Sir Firefighter,

Of course, the Everest is the obvious choice... It has solid rear axles that makes the Everest more capable of going through obstacles that would maximize articulation. More Articulation means more traction to the ground. The Everest was made to meet the needs of the people who wanted a 7 seating capacity AUV and the DNA of a 4x4.

The Sta Fe on the other hand is the opposite. It has full independent suspension that makes it more pretty on the road and bumps. Its 4wd capability isnt up to compete with the Everest. It is mainly for mud, snow, or wet roads. This can be a safety feature to those who wanted more grip in the wet situations. The Sta Fe is better in the road, you just have to test drive it more often to find out.

My friend Drave has his choices. He can choose between the two since both of them has a 7 seating capacity. A very strong need for a growing family. The Fortuner, of course, is out of the list because it has a bad ride (I dont want to try it though - they said its almost has the same stiffness as the Frontier, not sure) But I would recommend the Sta. Fe because he already has his New Strada for the demanding duty off the road.

[Drave]

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Sana matuloy na in a couple of months. It's almost certain na santa fe 4x4 (white) ang kukunin namin.

Mahirap din talaga isantabi ang everest due to the excellent engine and drivetrain. Pero kung pag-uusapan eh styling, handling, comfort, space, interior style and color (di madaling madumihan ang black kesa beige), safety (walang safety rating ang everest), track width, driveability in the city (5.3m against 6.4m turning radius), eh nakakalamang ang santa fe. Ang engine ng santa fe ay di naman masyadong lugi. Ang 4WD system naman niya, borg-warner ang gumawa. Yung 3rd row niya, para sa akin, ay mas maluwag kesa sa everest.

Halata bang ginawa ang homework?

[oldblue]

ang ayoko lang talaga sa everest eh parang 90's exterior design pa din parang starex. diba yun ford ranger introduce noon 1999. saka yun ilaw na patayo, gosh so oldies hehehe

pero kung tibay ang pag-uusapan, mag-everest ka na nga. yun everest yun tipong puwede mo ibangga kahit saan, sa lubak, sa humps, sa jeepney, sa bus. kuwadraduhin na madali pang masilyahan

santa fe kasi sobrang sporty parang ang hirap harabasin sa rush-hour. konting gasgas lang masakit sa loob

[jonski]

Ok din ba Sante Fe sa mga flood area?

[Xt7]

for me, ford is the best automobile company when it comes to SUVs.. ford pick ups is the best....

i think hyundai don't have experiences on having good 4x4's unlike fords and toyotas.

ford or hyundai?

FORD!

[drey]

The Hyundai Galloper is a very good off-the-pavement performer. It has better articulation the the Gen 2 Pajero.

By the way, Ford isn't the best automobile company... Its Mercedes Benz - they started the car industry. I hope it will still be with their promise of bringing back the quality. J.D. Powers saw a dramatic change. Mercedes is #4, Toyota is #10.

Even if Hyundai, doesnt have off-road experience. They arent so much interested in that department yet. So they build the Sta Fe and added 4x4 for additional traction in the rain. Hence, when the Aussie's tested the Sta on the dirt track, the tires were hanging all the time, but it finishes the job! Thanks to the traction control system.

Ford or Hyundai? Well that depends.

Diyan ako hindi maniniwala..........

[boomtang]

guys sakin maganda talaga stafe when it comes to sporty looks, pero maspinili ko parin ford everest dahil madami din samin naka everest before hangang ngayon hindi pa sila nagkakaproblema kahit araw araw nila pinanghaharabas. wich is kung pagiisipan mo gastusin pera mo masgusto mo na yung tatagal.. galing nako starex at ingat na ingat ako dun kahit konting lubak lng talagang nag miminor ako.. pero wala parin na sira kagad after 2 years, binenta ko nalng kasi naglalabasan na sakit..

saka kanina nasa buendia ako syempre baha dahil sa ulan mga 3ft yung baha.
nasa likod ako with my everest, stafe ang nasa harap ko tinitingnan ko alam ko kaya ng stafe yung baha pero after few secs lang tumirik na may usok na sa hood pagkalagpas ko..

nabilib ako sa kia pride nakalagpas ng baha.. lufet!

[drey]

3 ft.? Exagerrated ka naman... 3 ft = 914.4 mm

A Stock Jeep Wrangler would have damaged itself by that depth... Even a Kia Pride patay na dyan! Not unless if were talking about a monster Kia Pride and your monster Everest.

Wow... 3ft talaga...

[boomtang]

not exactly 3ft. kaya nga MGA 3ft. well sakin gusto ko lng share yung nakita ko kagabe.. wala nmn ako makukuha kung lolokohin ko kayo eh. peace
