It sounds apples to oranges but it was a fun read.

Santa Fe syempre! Parang di maka-alis sa lubak ung Vitara ah hahaha naka-angat pa ung likod nya

Surprising the Suzuki's "locking" differentials didn't actually completely lock... what's up with that?

Not a bad write-up. I expected the Hyundai to win overall, but I was quite surprised that it could match the Suzuki off-road... especially with the part-time AWD system.

Nice reading. Its surprising how the so called soft roaders can manage to traverse some sticky situations. I just wonder how the local SF variant without the ESC would have faired since the raodtest uses the Aussie version of the V6 SF with this feature???

* sir otep...after reading some threads its apparent to me that you are much more of a car expert than me. So what i meant to ask in previous post was..How different would the off-roading result of the SF be if it didn't have traction and stability control like the ones offered by HARI locally.

Will be buying an SUV next month and the SF is on my shorlist. Though i don't plan to do major off-raoding, will the SF fair well in the extreme conditions shown above if push comes to shove???

I think the 2.7 V6 sold locally has stability control (only 2WD diesel version has the feature removed).

Or so I've heard three months ago....I think.
