Wow!! That's nice to know. Lumalaki ang tenga ko sa sinabi mo. Thanks for this info, Sir. Type talaga ng father ko ang Santa Fe. If that's the case, I guess we should go for Santa Fe then. Kaya lang 3 colors na lang daw available ngayon. Black, White, and Silver. Type ko pa naman yung parang Coffee Brown. Wala na atang ganung color sa latest model. Btw, what's the deal with the monster diesel engine.. Is that a good sign or not? I hope the Santa Fe diesel isn't going to turn into a huge chimney 3 years later. Dami kasi kong kwentong nadidinig or paninira lang?

nope, yung kapitbahay namin owns a 2009 model santa fe...as of today wala pa rin siyang usok...just follow the PMS and use CI-4 motor oils...

Yup this is very true....The first gen CRDI accents were brutally fast but very economical..(coz it's diesel).. I was trying to chase an accent with my vios 1.3 and sad to say my car was not able to at least tailgate the accent....iniwan ako ng mokong... but most mechanics and some accent owners in my neighborhood tells me that the accent has PLASTIC parts on the steering box (i think it was the steering rack made of plastic) plus the turbocharger on an accent CRDI often accumulates too much dust resulting to loss of power, increased FC and BLACK SMOKE...i would never dare go up to 200km/h in a car that has PLASTIC parts on my driver controls...

It's not the turbo that accumulates dust. Soot builds up in the EGR, which is what causes loss of power and black smoke. This is a common problem with most (if not all) of today's high-powered diesels.

As per safety requirements, cars have break-away steering columns so they don't impale you in a crash. Whatever car your driving, be it an Accent or an Accord, there's a breakaway portion in the middle of the column. You shouldn't feel safe driving anything at 200 km/h.

did you consider Suzuki Jimny on your list? 4x4, 1.3 engine, high ground clearance. san ka pa? all around to sir. Jimny FTW

[OTEP]

Malakas sa gas ang Jimny pero in the first ten years of operation malabong may underchassis parts ka na kailangan palitan because it's design is so simple and it's built to withstand abuse. Front wheel balancing lang ang usual service item.

Bihira sa mga regular economy cars ang umaabot ng sampung taon with the same underchassis bits like shocks, bushings, etc.
