opinions needed: hyundai gls or montero sport gls

[dy1jaw]

guys,

wifey and i have been in discussion on what to get. Tucson mainly on its looks although i read that it's fc is also ok plus it's warranty is 5 yrs. MS mainly because its bigger and family oriented (2 kids and 2 yayas when travelling mostly) plus it's diesel. we're sold on the tucson before and in fact reserved for it but now thinks that it might be a bit small. what you think guys?
thanks.

Get the MS mas malaki bale anim kayo and problema availability ng tucson

looks like most car buyers are taking the 5 yr warranty seriously. dapat naman talaga, kahirap masiraan ng parts na sobrang mahal

sir boldventure, what if may parating ng unit ng tucson?

We have the same concerns the preceeding days before we acquired our Monty. Since space requirements on your part is for a family with 2 kids, and 2 yayas I would suggest you get the Monty. It has more space that would sit comfortably your family of 6. The Tucson can do sit six people albeit uncomfortably (if the your 2 kids and 2 yayas are small/slim). For engine, steering, transmission (unless your getting the Monty 4x4), price and warranty the Tucson will beat the Monty hands down. Medyo mahaba lang waiting time for the Tucson.

Some Mitsubishi dealers will extend the warranty (dealer's warranty on top of Mitsubishi) of the Monty to 5 years for an additional cost. The extended warranty cost in our case with our dealer is equivalent to the offered prevailing dealer's discount on the Monty's sticker price. Just ask your Mitsubishi dealer about this option.

*TS Mas naging patas siguro ang laban kung Hyundai Sta. Fe vs. Mitsubishi Montero Sport because of the seating capacity. Hyundai Tucson and Mitsubishi Montero Sport came from different breeds of SUV.

may mga parating naman once or twice yata a month kaso ang dami nakapila, since July pa ako naghintay until now wala pa so ibang car na lang. Not enough pa rin ang supply sa dami ng nakapila

hindi na abot ng budget ang sta Fe eh.

Go for monty na lang since you need the space. But it won't be the same as having a tucson.

Is it worth it sir? actually more than 5 months na ko naghihintay ng unit. hhe

I haven't drive the monty.. but I'm pretty much happy with the performance of my tucson.. =)

Is yours CRDI or Theta II sir? I've read na mejo significant in term of performance ang Theta II and CRDI engines ng Tucson.

ba't ba hindi na lang straight 5 years para wala ng problema. Mitsu in the states offer 10 years warranty. so why not offer it here?
unless they really cant warrant their vehicles free of defect in 5 years

the Montero is a very expensive car. imho, dapat 5 years yan

[tidus1203]

Sa US uso na ang 10 year power train warranty even Hyundai offers that. Remember though Mitsubishi in the US is considered a LEMON BRAND, an unreliable brand. So they have to do it to convince buyers... Dito ibang usapan...

The Monty is worth having. But from the tone of your words I feel your heart belongs to the Tucson. I suggest you take time to test drive both SUVs for you to get a subjective feel.

[badsekktor]

you need the space right? i say go for the ms since you cannot compromise space. it doesnt matter if you have a car that performs very well if you feel cramped inside...

Eto personal experience, nakisakay ako sa Theta II Tucson ng officemate ko. 1 hour trip, tatlo kami sa likod, ako nasa gitna. Sakit ng butt ko dahil medyo may umbok sa gitna ang seat, matigas pa. Then matagtag. Wala akong motion sickness but i got dizzy riding a car for the first time. Hirap pa lumabas at sumakay pag sa likod ka galing. As far as the monty is concerned, i haven't rode in one yet so no comment.

As to 5 years warranty ng Hyundai, trap yan kasi ibig sabihin, for 5 years mandatory ka sumunod sa "time interval" sa PMS schedule, meaning, kahit di mo nagamit ang car mo, you still have to bring it for PMS dahil umabot na siya sa time required. Mahal yun. Pag di mo naman sundin, magkakabutas warranty claim mo if ever. Personal experience din 'to.

you're quite correct sir. actually, i've been waiting for the Tucson for the last 5 months already. it's just this month that we considered the Monty because of Tucson's availability. I already have test driven both. Indeed, the Monty is spacious! The only concern for me in chosing the Monty is because I have to shell out an additional 200K more which is quite a large amount.

Same with denki.

IMHO kulang sa lakas yung Monty. 4X4 M/T pa yung amin.

Pero para sa requirements mo, Montero Sport ang para sa'yo.
