ASX vs Tucson (2011, Gas & Premium class)

[Noel Salisipan]

Pros & Cons for both models, and which is your best choice. Please depend!!!
Some say Tucson has a serious muscle & beauty behind its engine & its face! But that would be enough to outsmart the ASX reliability, safety & flexiblity?!?!?!

Diba may ASX ka na, what can you say? ;)

Tucson is #2 in my choise before I bought my ASX last April, and remain #2 after I heard some problems regarding the brand (Hyundai) and the car itself. So far, I dont experience any mild and major problem regarding my first choise (ASX), however I'm planning to add a car on my garage after next year.
Tucson have a nice specs also and even surpases some of the ASX specs, but I like the push & remote entry, the dial knob for 4WD auto & lock mode, auto side mirror folding when lock, NavSat, safety (7 airbags), HID-lamp & paddle shifters. Furthermore, no issues (so far) from engine stalling, brake & brake dust, A/c, noise inside the compartment...
Subsequently, still not conviced to own a Tucson or any other Hyundai or Kia brand!
Finally, may I know the side of Tucson owner, why it is your choise and not the ASX or any SUV on its class???

I think it has got to do with the Hyundai brand in general. Mas nagugustuhan na ng pinoy ang Hyundai with its stylish design.

Tucson engine shares design with the ASX engine.

Benta mo na rin ASX mo? hahaha

[niky]

The ASX still drives better and the CVT has exceptional performance. The Tucson has more space, but not as much more versus the ASX as, say, a CR-V.

But if we're talking the diesel Tucson, that's another matter...

Sa mga Tucson owner po, sana mabigyan nyo ako ng idea "why you chose Tucson above other its class"!
Admirer din ako ng Tucson pero doesnt yet own one, and up until now Im researching.
Sana mga Sir, scientific ang comment, and based sa experience. ok na ako sa beauty, sa size at mga flowery words & or survey.
Finally, this might have a good outcome lalo na sa mga bibili pa lang ng SUV sa class ng Tucson, ASX...etc...

Thanks sa mga scientific thoughts na maico-contribute nyo.

Sa mga Tucson owner, meron ho bang nav-sat ang 2011 premium brand?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Wala bro.

In my case ok lang kasi I don't need sat-nav. Pero very affordable naman yung mga HU na may sat-nav

[Noel Salisipan]

Thanks Bro!
Pero type ko sa Tucson yung moonroof at hill decend.
Ano ba effect (advantage at dis advantage) nung hill descend?
(specially nung pumunta kayo ng Baguio)

[Starex_Gold]

Actually never kong ginamit yung hill descent control ng Tucson ko.

Tinesting ko lang para alam kong working yung feature pero wala pang situation na kailangan ko talaga siya gamitin kahit sa steep ramp ng garage namin sa QC

You'll only use it when decending from places like Baguio or even Antipolo...

Somebody who experience the hill descend?
How does it feel?

Mabagal. You don't have to step on the brakes. Tapos may sound na parang kkrrrrrrgggggg.

Parang yung crawl mode ng Toyota LC200.

[Noel Salisipan]

I see!
Kailangan pa siguro ng refinement.
Wala kasing hill descend itong ASX, pero yung ASC (active stability control) nya e parang ganung. Pag nag break ka na e tumutulong yung makina para ma-achieve yung desired deceleration. 2x kong na-experience, extreme yung break. Hindi nag-slide, at kahit partially narelease ko na yung break para mag mag gain na ng momentum e nandun pa tin yung ASC, until nung inapakan ko na uli yung accelerator saka pa lang nagka-momentum.

I was amazed by this feature!

I like the looks of ASX, inside-out!

+1 to this.

If ASX will release upgraded model with moonroof, a little bigger, power seat w/ manual bypass, petit mudguard, modified display that shows parameters at the same time. And additional HP & Torque.

This would be a great choice.

Which would go with a significant increase to the ASX' bloated price tag.

Mahihirapan ang Mitsu magbenta ng ASX kung lalagpas sa price ng Tucson Gas Premium kung ganon, considering ng size of the ASX vs Tucson. Kung walang price increase with those upgrades mentioned(which I doubt), edi ok! Though mas realistic pa nga na bumaba ang price kung Hyundai because of the K-AFTA, if ever HARI considers adjusting to the PH masses' buying power.

Absolutely the price will increase, but if I can afford then why not!

If no price increase or retain the price besides of additional accessories, indeed the quality will suffer. I would rather buy increased price rather than poor quality with lots of accessories!
