Almost end of life cycle na pala ang GS since it was introduced in 2007 pa. Abangan ko muna ang bagong ilalabas ng hyundai...

Your call whether to buy from HARI or gray market, we never really had problems with our units be it HARI or our gray market units

Hi bros, long time no post in this thread. Just an update on our GS Semi Limo bought from Chicane Auto Access West Avenue. After running for 2 years and 4 months and almost 50,000 kms mileage, I can say that performance is still a-ok and still the same power as that when we first took it out of the dealership. No problems whatsoever, no kalampags. Overall still a happy GS owner here. Happy also with the service of Chicane Auto Access though sometimes may konting sablay din sila like not informing me of non availability ng Fully Synthetic oil nila last December (thus using semi synthetic oil nila which required the oil change on the 35,000 km mileage and another oil change on the 40,000 km mileage before bumalik sa FS oil). If they informed me noon, pwede naman pala magdala driver namin ng sarili naming FS oil.

Guys, how long do your tires last? Stock tires lasted 40k kms and now at 80k kms, manipis na rin Kumho and Goodyear tires. All-around car din kse ang cvx namin

Mileage on our tires is around the same, 40TKm+. Brand is Nexen, size is 215/65r17. I think ok na yung mileage mo bro. Looks about average.

Maganda ba grip nung Hankook bro?

Bro- IMO,- grip is okay with our OEM Hankook tyres... I don't feel any slight slide when braking....The same is true at high speed curves....

I think our tyres are good until 50KKm+... At 35KKm,- there is slight wear on the front tyres and so, time to rotate...

Maganda rin pala. Supposedly Hankook daw kasi ang best sa Korean tires. Maybe we'll try that next time. Nexens are cheap though, from memory parang 5K+ lang yung 215/65r17.

i've had both, pareho naman umabot ng 45k km wala naman problems whatsoever. parehas lang silang loaded to the max and tested at high speeds. yung sa starex ko dati na ra08 umabot ng almost 50k km bago ko pinalitan yung 2 front tyres. dami napuntahan nun on cement, asphalt and rough roads. at kung alam mo kung paano ko i-drive yung gs ko dati, 150 kph sa magilas trail with 10 people and 1 week of luggage e di mo sasabihin na mahina yung ra08.

Landyo bro., Di ko kaya ang style ng driving mo... Lalamon ako ng alikabok sa iyo.... 😃

I'm sure he goes much faster at only half load. Nakikipagkarera mga GS sa speed runs namin sa Navara dati, around 170-180kph sa SCTEX. Although di ko pa nagawa sa GS namin, laging may kasamang backseat brakes

*yebo
Do you miss your GS? We are thinking of selling it maybe next year. Dami na rin kasi kalampag na di makita saan galing. Wala lang makitang pampalit na same price range na same din ang space at comfort.

Ok naman yung size ng Nexen na gamit sa GS bro. No issues kahit na madalas din malubak.

top speed ko na 180kph sa sctex at 3am, walang huli tulog pa yung nagpapatrol

miss ng mga bata kasi pag nag long drive kami nilalatagan ko ng matress yung space between 2nd and 3rd rows na naka face sa likod yung 2nd row. di na daw sila nakakatulog sa byahe. iba din kasi luwang ng gs. i asked the wifey kung bibili kami ulit if a new starex comes out maybe 2018 model sabi naman nya di na daw. by that time our eldest will be driving na kaya baka small cuv na ulit ang bilihin for her at yung sorento ang "practice car" ng new driver. sabi ko naman bilhan ko ng 3rd hand car at yun ang gawin na bump car.

Yup, yung amin 45TKm may 1.5mm pa to tread wear indicator pero pinalitan na namin. Kaya pa siguro nun makaabot ng 50Tkm kung dahan dahan lang. Prefer ko actually lower mileage na mas makapit na tires.

Sabi na 180 hehe. Sarap naman maging anak mo, too late na ba magpa ampon? Gusto ko rin ng bump car.

Kami naman problem pag nawala ito wala nang makakargahan pag namili ng bulky items. Yung pickup can only carry so much.

Sarap! 180kph at SCTEX.

Tagal ko nang hindi na-i-Italian tuneup yung GS. Mostly city drives. Kelangang ma-decarbonize para tanggal usok. May lumalabas na light gray pag biglang harurot.

Just changed my brakes the other day. 45t kms na si GS. Front brakes lasted 35t kms, rear 30t kms.
