    We have the 2007 Santa Fe 2.2L VGT 2WD (150HP) and recently bought a 2013 Kia Sorento LX 2.2L R-eVGT 2WD (197HP).

    Both are really good. I like the Sorento's interior better than the 2007 SF. Sorento is also wider a bit. Since our Sorento has less weight, the ride is stiffer compared to our SF.

    Performance-wise, both are excellent in the city or in the highway. Handling is good and one good thing about both cars are the brakes. The Sorento which has the R-eVGT equipped 2.2L accelerates faster.

    Now on it's 6th year, our SF is still in excellent condition, although the diesel engine has a louder sound now (louder diesel knock). Nevertheless, it's still quite for me. No major problems. We just had the exhaust cleaned and replaced one door actuator and one power window switch.

    We love these two vehicles and we are actually planning to replace our Fortuner next year with the new Santa Fe. We just love how these power diesels perform.

    how about the TOTL Sorento ? it is P1.89M so its much cheaper than the TOTL of the Santa Fe *2.35 or 2.22M (gray or HARI). For 100K more than a 4x2 Santa Fe you get AWD, Gigantic Sunroof, Leather, nice OLED Graphics on the Dash, etc. Cant go wrong with that. It has the same engine, transmission, and structure.

    Yes, ok din TOTL ng Sorento... the reason why mas mura siya than the TOTL Santa Fe is some features are removed... e.g. power seats, HAC, HSA, DBC, less airbags, EPB, etc.

    ^^ the sorento is wider but the santa fe has more head room. so since mas mababa ang head room ng sorento then the 3rd row seats are better on the santa fe than on the sorento.

    Yung complain nyo ng handling sa Gen 2, 2.5 SF na solve na yan sa Gen 3. BTW, mas fuel efficient ang Gen 3 kaysa sa Gen 2.
