Tamaraw FX VS Hyundai Grace

**Injection_Pump** · September 3rd, 2009 05:21 PM

We are planning to buy a van for family and business (Byahe) use.. pinagpipilian namin for our budget is A1 condition tamaraw FX or a hyundai grace.. points of comparison are; fuel economy, availability and price of spareparts, reliability.. for you guys.. what are the pros and cons of these two..

may mga nagsasabi FX daw ay matipid pero mahina humatak at hirap sa akyatin.. katukin pa daw ang makina? is this true?

may nagsasabi din about the kalawang issues of the grace..

Thank's in advance..

for me, ang maganda sa fx, madali talaga ang piyesa hanapin. nagkalat lang yan sa tabi tabi. fx owner din kami, kaso privately used lang talaga siya at hindi namin pinang taxi. gasoline ang sa amin.

fc ng gasoline fx, mas matakaw or pantay lang sa pajero ko na 4m40 engine. kung katukin, hindi naman siguro pero ang issue dyan, lalo na pag diesel, eh mausok.

as for the grace naman, ok naman siya. malakas humatak kaso, madami ang galing korea nito. not quite familiar sa engine niya pero may kutob lang ako na parang pareho lang ang engine niya sa 4d56 o makina ng L300. so ok naman yun kung ganun. pero andyan din ang usok issue

walang 2C-T na fx na lumabas dito sa atin, only 2C. if you want, revo na diesel. makina is 2L, mas malakas pa sa 2C, IMHO

malakas ang fx (diesel) pag naka turbo... pero pag di turbo, medyo hirap sa pag arangkada.
(kung gusto mo ng mas malakas, palitan mo ng 3c na turbo, iiwan ang mga 1.6 na sedan sa akyatan. kahit slightly modded pa ang sedan)

If I were you, I'd get the fx as long as it is in good condition. mas mura and mas abundant parts ng fx.

i used to have a kia besta. in my opinion, the only reason i would buy an engine-under-driver van again, is because i need the passenger/cargo space. it's simply too un-ergonomic, and it gets too hot in long drives. not to mention crash safety...
but, it was a good van. reliable, tough, simple and thrifty.
your hyundai grace is probably the same...
