Montero or Santa Fe

[daunted]

i got monty. but when i was shoppin mode, i was checkin at santa fe, vitara and monty. the sales person ranked the 3 with 1 as best: 1. santa fe 2. monty 3. vitara

i still chose monty coz of d porma and the price. but santa fe is still a very good bet.

[babkalakal]

28kms/lt? kayang kaya! basta puro palusong ang kalsada hehe.

sa lahat ng napuntahan ko sales agent e mabibilang ko sa 1 kamay ang may genuine na interes at knowledge sa producto nya na kahhit wala sa seminar o brochure nila ay inaalam padin nya kaya in case may nagtanong e alam padin ang isasagot hinde yung humuhugot na lang sa ere.

kabibili lang pala ng nanay ko ng sta.fe less 100k hyundai ngayon pero as to the new model kung kailan ilalabas baka 2010 of ahfter pa DAW.

Wow nice discount. Parang dami nga akong nakikitang new SF's (no plates). Of course not as much as Montero Sport but seems to be more than Fortuner, Everest and Alterra (ito talaga bihira ako makakita ng bago)...

[kimat]

thanks! but my agent said its 28km/L, which im not sure tlaga sa sinasabi nya. that's why i need the opinions of Santa Fe owner.

baka naka idle lang yung auto then at the back of the car may taga tulak(SA) taz pag aatras pupunta sa harap ung taga tulak(SA):barmy:

yup. yung Fort na bago, agree talaga ako, wala ako gaanong nakikitang ganito compared sa Monty.

28km ang itutulak niya hehehe habang naka-idle. Eh bago niya marating yun, naubos na rin ang krudo niya sa idle hahaha.

I'll choose the Santa Fe because of its features, but not of its price, para kasing hindi sulit for a korean brand hehehe. So Montero na lang, mura pa and tested na matibay at maganda ang build quality.

Mausok, walang discount at masikip = Montero

Tahimik, malaki discount at maluwag = Sta. Fe

Sa yabang nila sinigawan ko sila at natauhan. After that pina test drive samin and i'm not impressed. Mausok ang makina, feels cramped inside. Napag isip isip nga ng ermat at erpat ko bakit bumibili blindly mga tao sa mga ganitong produkto di pa nila na-test drive.

pag palaos na monty, dadami na rin promos / freebies, discount and no pila. eh sa ngayon 'la tayo magagawa malakas ang dating eh

dream na bawat Pinoy na magkaroon ng Big SUV

Lates 90s - Pajero
Early 2000s - Patrol
Mid 2000s - Fortuner
Late 2000s - Montero Sport

SUVs pa rin ang pangarap ng mga Pinoy... Pero dun sa mga naka-graduate na dito... CUV na hanap - Sta. Fe, CX-7, Forrester, Captiva.

I ended up with Montero co'z it's Japanese!!I wanted the Pajero but can't afford it.it's close but not quite.cheers

Sta Fe - malapad pero maikli
Montero - makitid pero mahaba

i had long strada b4, i have SF now. personally, parehong ayaw ko ang mahaba saka malapad. the only thing that's making me like the SF is its body, so curvy. i dont even care if it's crdi. i even find it a disadavantage kasi mahal PMS ng crdi.

best way to decide: don't think kung ilan ang maisasakay mo o kung ilan kayo sa pamilya o safe ba kayo lahat sa baha sa banggaan etc. etc. bottom line, parati ikaw naman mag-isa magdadala nyan kasi iyo yan

eto na lang kung mataba ka or overweight ka, better get either of the two bec. you'll need a bigger cabin space to carry all those starbucks and fatty foods for life that you ate with you. kung payat ka pa ngaun na single but engaged, get either of the two kasi sigurado tataba ka pa din along with your wife. masarap kaya kumain sa bahay.

now if you're like me who has been thru hell of being overweight. i'm now 148lbs who can buy P80-P100 muscle shirts and 28-29" waist fashion jeans, ang mai-advise ko get the CRV.

ang sarap ng fit body at ang sarap na mataas pero maliit lang sa kalsada, yan ang winner!

personally, yan lang naman dahilan kumbakit gusto ko ng malaki suv dati eh, i'm so overweight, i'm paranoid and my body is weak bec. of all those fatty foods that i carry around with me.

in fact, kung di nga lang sa bwiset ng mga jeepneys, mag-city ako. ang laki-laki ng city sa'kin ngaun

Comparing the PMS of the Sta. Fe over the PMS of a Pajero Fieldmaster, dirt cheap ang maintenance ng Sta. Fe.

Lalo na ngayon you can buy Mobis parts sa Banawe at okay lang sa Hyundai to bring your own parts & consumables.

ang mai-advise ko get the CRV.... ang sarap na mataas pero maliit lang sa kalsada, yan ang winner!

Kung ganyan I would get a 3-dr Rav4. Still using ours 182,000 kms. and still going
