santa fe vs forester 2.5XT

[Starex_Gold]

^^kala ko bias ka sir kase may Santa Fe ka

i agree with you.

Santa Fe gets my vote too.

Naka Santa Fe si Tidus..

Who better to know about these cars than the one who owns both...

Meron si imperialv Santa Fe 4x2 at Forester XT

Sa 4X2 malaki difference ng 2007 and 2010...

Sa 2007 leather seats at pati yung door trims leather. Yung wood nya maganda pagkagawa di makintab at di mukang fake wood.

Yung 2010 wala ng leather yun both seats and door trims. Yung wood makintab na din which does not look nice. Although mas maganda ang gauges ng 2010 kasi optitron and the design looks better...

Sa exterior naman I like the 2007's front grille better, I also like its mags better and I like the fact na the roof rails are BLACK and the new 2010 is SILVER...

Yeah. Mukhang cheap yung loob ng 2010. Coming from a 2010 owner

Nabwiset ako nawala yung leather. Mas ok sa akin yung walang GPS at DVD than walang leather seats. Namamaho kasi pag tumatagal. Ang leather punas-punas lang oks na..
--------
Performance = Forester XT
Space, looks, versatility, efficiency, practicality, etc. = Santa Fe

Feeling ko tinipid ng HARI yung 2010 model.. Yung leather seats ng 07 mas maganda tignan. Feeling mo mahal but for the 2010 parang pilit yun leather seats nya.. (4x4).. yung 4x2 hindi na leather seats. Yung bumper guard sa rear wala na... :-) ....

Eto SF and FXT side by side.. Repost ko lang pics para makita ng TS yung size ng dalawa.. BTW, yung FXT despite na mataas ang road clearance nya, feeling mo kapag naka upo ka sa loob parang kotse lang at hindi SUV ang height ng seats.

[Starex_Gold]

Kaya nga magpapakabit pa ako nung lintek na bumper guard na yun. 2.5K din pala yun Agree ako sa leather seats. Yung sa 2006-2009 models maganda yung color combination at yung material, perforated pa yung gitna.

Makisig yung front chin ng FXT mo, imperialv. Ganda.
-------
Ganda rin ng garage niyo. Hehe.

Alang adjustable roof racks ang 2010 SF right? Even the exhaust tips are different.

Buy the SF first if you have a family, then the FXT for your adrenaline rush.

Yep. Hindi na adjustable cross bars. Maganda parin naman tingnan. Kaso sablay yung color.

Forester 2.5XT - reliability, driving pleasure, pride in the ride, ganda ng porma, not too many on the road.

Santa Fe - bigger in size, mas mura ang parts, better FC

In the end it boils down to what fits you. Goodluck

Thanks sa mga pumuri sa garage ko..

Yes.. Its a hyundai 05 Getz 1.3 A/T... Konti lang ata mayroon kami nyan since wala pang six months na f/l na ang getz. Kasama ako dun sa 1st ten na nag register nung buhay ba yung malaysian website ng getzclub...

Forgot to mention, yung NVH - FXT..


I'll 2nd the motion for those who answered SF first then FXT...

[foresterx]

Nabwiset ako nawala yung leather. Mas ok sa akin yung walang GPS at DVD than walang leather seats. Namamaho kasi pag tumatagal. Ang leather punas-punas lang oks na..

baligtad naman ako, kahit anong car mas gusto ko hindi leather seats. pag leather kasi umiinit tapos tagal lumamig na babalisawsaw tuloy ako:bwahaha:, pag malamig naman sobrang lamig din kahit heated seats pa tagal uminit pag malamig na ang leather seats. never ko pa naman na experience bumaho ang seats ko, siguro nasa nag maintain na lang yan.

i agree with this, another factor why i love my forester so much.

Buy the SF first if you have a family, then the FXT for your adrenaline rush.

i agree with this also syempre priority ang family, pero if single okaya wife and 1 kid pa lang pwede na ang fxt.

[tidus1203]

Isa pa pala yung 2010 wala ng chrome bits yung door handles which makes it more elegant kung meron also nawala na din yung black plastic sa rear bumper to prevent it from scratching the bumper when loading cargo...

Yown! Please park in between the yellow lines

The FXT has a very aggressive front end. And that chin just further emphasizes it. It's got the performance to back it up as well. If attitude is a consideration, definitely go for the FXT.

+1 here. Actually, the FXT will fit a family of 4 and their cargo, granted whoever's fitting the cargo has had a good run with 'tetris', and as long as the kids are still small and at most 2 yayas. The SF will have more room.

Kaya nga when I saw the chin, bumili agad ako.. Nice add on accessories. Actually the legroom ng 2nd room of the fxt is bigger than the SF. Pero I won't miss it since hindi naman ganun kalaki. The cargo area is small compared with the SF. Feeling ko pa mas maliit pa sa sportage ng sis in law ko.. in terms of width.

[strutot]

to TS i'd choose the car which would put a smile to my face everytime i drive it... i was in the same predicament as you. either SF or FXT... went with the FXT - speed, ride and handling.. you won't go wrong with either of your choices, its like choosing between 1 and 1a

[IMm29]

Hehehe! strutot is right. These are two very good options, and you don't really lose out much by choosing one over the other. Test ride/drive both as well, to feel which one is best for you.

[gizzzo]

Thank you very much for the help guys. I really appreciate it

[drich_enriquez]

faster= Forester XT
better handling= Forester XT
BUT OTHER THAN THAT:
better dealer network= Santa Fe
more features= Santa Fe
more reasonable pricing= Santa Fe
better looking (subjective ha)= Santa Fe
more economical= Santa Fe
more spacious= Santa Fe
more luxurious= Santa Fe

Bro yun Forrester galing ba sa platform ng Impreza?

[imperialv]

Bro yun Forrester galing ba sa platform ng Impreza?

yes.. same platform

[kent1023]

fxt vs 4x4 santa fe, price-wise silang dalawa ang magka match. for me kahit alin sa dalawa piliin mo panalo ka. kung importante ang power at handling mag fxt ka. if you want to be more practical choose the santa fe. silang dalawa lang din pinag pilian ko, if i have the money i'll buy both of them

[foresterx]

yes.. same platform

wrx impreza, not just the ordinary impreza.
