*edferrer, sa limerick ako sir, nice meeting you here.. Yeah mukhang sa requirements ko, monty is the best choice pero try ko pa din itest drive both cars. By the way, do you also own MS or have you driven one?

Thanks po pala sa lahat ng nagreply especiall sir GM, para tuloy lamang na MS sa choices ko . Pero as I've said. I'm still going to test drive both cars and will definitely post here which I'm going to buy.

Take it from GM and OB. Siya isa sa mga unang nagka Santa Fe dito sa tsikot nung '06.

Ganda ba ng review ni GM? Dumaan pa Explorer, Starex at Old Blue CRV dyan..........

OT:pre saan ka sa IRELAND?d2 ko sa DUblin


MONTERO is the best choice pre

May Montero Sport po ba sa Ireland?
SF 2010 is my choice, World Class design and has good crash test. Dunno kung may crash test ang Montero, mukhang wala yata

It would depend on how you will use your car. If you will use your car to drive around in the city with the kids in tow & from time to time, to those out of town trips, the Sta. Fe gets my vote because of the comfort. Remember, its the kids who will be riding at the back, you dont want them getting grumpy during long trips!
If you have to traverse uneven and unpaved roads often, then get the Monty (these is the only advantage i see on this car).
By the way, the Sta. Fe is no tin can, so dont worry about durability if you use it mostly on paved roads & konting lubak lang, just drive it cautiously on these kinds of roads (drive it for what its built for & that's definitely not off roading), i remember a picture shown on the Sta Fe thread where the Sta Fe was rammed from behind while on full stop in a toll line by a Crosswind AUV & the Sta Fe came out with a slight scratch while the other vehicle was a total wreck.
The monty has a noisy engine, the cabin is cramped, but i like the look of the 3.2 4x4 cabin.

Depende na rin ito sa paggagamitan at kung saan.

If this is my call, I'll pick the MS because
-mas gusto ko manual.
-nasa probinsya ako nakabase na meron bulubundokin terrain.
-mas kampante ako sa Mitsu dealer dito kaysa sa Hyundai.
-mas mura.
-bagay sa rugged lifestyle.

Otherwise, get the other vehicle.

pero sa Sta Fe, i wouldn't even dare do that even if i have a 4x4 model. (i only have 4x2). since the new montero is just the suv version of the strada. malamang sobrang durable talaga nyan.

bakit naman sir GM? can you cite an incident what made you say this?
*jeep, bakit naging -1 ang SF based on what sir GM said? He didn't even cite a concrete detail why the car is not durable.
Sta Fe is world class & it is sold not only in ASia but also in stricter & higher standards areas like Europe & USA.

Pagdating naman sa speed, di naman bitin ang Sta Fe as i personally experience this kahit puno pa hangang 3rd row, hataw pa rin. Contradicting yung sabi ni Gen Miting na pagkinasahan ang mga corollas e iiwan nya ang mga ito, hmmm... Di ba mas magaan ang mga sedans na ito & supposedly mas maliit yung body, so it is easier to go faster as compared sa bigger na sta fe. But it is true though, that i often race with sedans but i smoke them, so i dont think the engine power is short. Much more with the 2010 SF engine spec sheet, iiwan nya na monty, just my two cents.

durable in a sense na pede pang-harabas. Sta Fe hinde. bangga mo sa bato, akyat mo sa gutter, ihulog mo sa canal, kaya ng montero yan. SF ewan ko

[blue_gambit]

Montero gets my vote, if you want something fast get a car...

[Biggs]

Mga paps, ano ground clearance ng Montero vs Sta Fe?

[navigator2377]

Both of them packs the power.. but MS gets my vote!

OT: sir FPJ, ang ganda ng avatar mo!! ang sarap titigan!!

[loloyyee]

santa fe 2010 wait...

Sir GM, definitely di mo gagawin yan sa SF because di nga sya pang harabas, peo i would say durable p rin sya if you use it within the confines of what it was built for, & that's city driving. Pero kahit Montero di mo gagawin to Bro! At least the idea of the Monty capable of going offroading is peace of mind for the driver.

Oppps makasabat nga dito

4x4 Santa Fe ride ko, kung rough road lang kahit ihataw mo hindi yan iindahin ng Santa Fe. Lately daming fiesta akong napupuntahan at mostly remote area pa

No question about MS, kung mas madalas na umaakyat ka ng bundok na may malalalim na lubak eto dapat ang ride mo.

Pero kung hanap mo ay comfort sa City, no offense to MS owner pero hindi kayang tapatan ng MS ang SF sa department na ito

Check the facelift SF2010 kung engine power ang hanap mo.

good luck!
