Wala na. Dealer option nalang. Sabi ko nga dapat pinareho nila sa Toyota na may Leather Option ang Vios sa manufacturer.. Nakalimutan ko, CBU pala ang Accent

Yung 6 Speed A/T wag niyo muna pangarapin. Baka sa CRDi na yun, pati aero wipers

Ah, ganun? Kelan ba confirmed release date ng CRDi? Siguro naman hindi sila magre-retrofit ng 4 speed A/T sa CRDi para lang sa Philippine market?

Wala naman CRDi sa Korean market eh.. Kaya posible parin na 4-Speed A/T yung CRDi.

Wala pang release date, gusto nila isabay na rin sa Elantra.

Yung bagong Elantra na mukhang Tucson din? I would have preferred the Sonata look more. Wala palang CRDi variant ang Korea? Sayang naman ang engine power kung 4 speed A/T lang ang ilalabas. Naalala ko dati na may sinabi dati na kahit anong kotseng irerequest ng HARI maaapprove ng Hyundai Korea diba? Itodo mo na ang influence mo sa mga heads ng HARI!

Tapos yung ilalaunch na Elantra, sana naman hindi parehong engine sa Accent...

The 2.0 diesel and gas engines found in the Tucson would be nice.

OT na. Yung Elantra naman 1.8Li MPi engine ang ilalagay, mukhang no-chance parin tayo sa 1.6 GDi

Hindi ganyan. Depende parin.

Yes. If you don't like the looks, then don't look at the car.

I remember there was an interview of HARI's top brass and she mentioned that Hyundai Korea would give her any car model she wants sold here. So no 2.0 gas engine or diesel variant for the Elantra?

Between the three naman... Based on their current specifications (with some models of the Cruze and Accent still not sold here), I wouldn't pick any. The Fiesta's looks doesn't appeal to me, especially the sedan version. The Cruze suffers from bad dealer network and service. And the Accent's best variant is not yet locally available. If and when the new Accent CRDi is finally released, then that would be my pick.

I didnt include the diesel Accent because im not a fan of diesel. Ive owned two and currently drive one, mahal ang maintenance ng diesel and with our dirty fuel, crdi in the Philippines is still not reliable.

Hindi nga pala maganda ang experience mo sa Trooper, bro

Hehehe. Strada ko well maintained but napalitan na rin ng SCV. So gas engine muna ako.

Thats why waiting ako which of the three will be my next car.
