2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[cocoy]

is it even fair to compare the innova and the any of the starex versions?

^^^ It is not bro.

However, when you review this thread for earlier posts, pup2 and myself have this personal theories/predictions that:

1. Pricing the Starex Gen4 in the same range as the Toyota Hi Ace is a marketing strategy by Hyundai so that people would instead look towards buying a Carnival,-This is pup2's

2. Mine was,- people looking for Gen4 and disenchanted by its pricing scheme, would instead go for the Toyota Innova... This is the reason why I am asking if I can have 2 marks since ImM29's Dad bought a couple of Innovas....

Tumatanda na yata talaga ako. I hadn't thought of that til now! I was just talking about parking under a shady tree, putting shades on and opening the moon roof while watching DVD on my portable player!
Di ko kasi ma imagine misis ko na nakaupo lang dun ng hindi naka AC eh. heeheehee. But what a great suggestion!

Daya. Dapat 1 lang per user. Besides, baka madalang mag-drive yung dad niya at di pa alam na lahat na yata ng tao may Innova. Tsaka 2 Base Innovas=1 Tricked out HARI Starex.

Hehehe! Actually, it's really up to you guys how to count your stats. Hehehe! But as for my Dad, he's out driving every day of the week. He got his Innovas not because of his ignorance that there are a lot on the road, but because for the price and function, it was a better decision.

It's actually 1 J Innova and 1 G Innova. And yes, both of them amount to 1 Tricked out HARI Starex. Wala ka nga lang pang-coding sa Starex. Hehehe!

Hehehe! Basta di mahuhuli...

Had a problem last night.

Going up Shangri-La Mall Parking (the curved ramp with small humps)

Had problem with traction and the wheel kept spinning. There was a little smoke (burning tires?) so i backed up and did running climb to get up there.

I'm thinking one of 2 things. either:

1. Slippery Ramp (reason for ribs, plus it was raining)
2. Lousy Korean Tires.

I'm thinking shouldn't be lack of power (CRDI) as on straights it feels like i'm driving a sports car.

No, it's not the lack of power. If anything, it might even be the abundance of power and torque. Hehehe!

But then, that parking ramp has been difficult for car, SUV and van especially when it's wet. I'm not a fan of the Korean OEM tires. Still a bit afraid of our previous experience a few years back. Perhaps Korean rubber has already improved, but right now, I'm not experimenting with it.

i also experienced that with our starex GRX 2007.. mahirap tlga umakyat kasi may mga humps tapos konti lang ung bwelo.. buti nalang hindi tumutok yung kasunod ko na car.. kaya ang ginawa nung guard is he told me to go back down and allowed me to pass to the left side where there is no humps..

kaya everytime i go there i make sure to turn-off the a/c and do a fast climb para hindi ako mabitin..

I agree that the difficulty in climbing was probably due to an over-abundance of torque. I experienced the same thing with our 2006 Starex while trying to go up a steep parking building ramp after a bit of rain.

I was already using Michelin Vanpix tires, but I noticed that I was losing traction so I had to ease up on the accelerator and take the incline very sloooowly. it's a good thing there were no vehicles behind me as well.
