Nakakahiya yung Gold kapag cinompare sa CVX

Peace Gold owners

CVX Premium has more features than our local Gold.

Bro.,- actually, ang mga stock na sockets sa likod ng GS ng HARI (brake and park lights),- double contact na.

yung sa akin na january 2011 hindi pa. sure ako at nasa akin yung original na sockets e, single contact lang talaga yung loob. baka yung mas later lumabas ang double contact, o yung gold model siguro. di gold kinuha ko at ayaw ko ng leather seats, mainit pag summer.

yun din sa nagtanong sa akin na taga subdivision hindi rin double contact kasi pag nag-brake siya isang pair lang umiilaw at saka nagtanong nga siya sa akin. gray market yun di ko lang sure saan. mukhang pitstop kasi ganun yung tinignan ko nuon sa pitstop. nauna lang ako sa kanya kumuha ng mga 1 month. as for kung yung socket e double contact na yun ang di ko alam at di ko naman syempre binaklas yung tail lights nya.

Tatlong variant ang CVX nila Hancars.

CVX Luxury - 12 seater, manual AC control, no steering wheel audio remote.

CVX Premium - Auto climate control, steering wheel audio remote, 11 seater, ECM rearview mirror, VDC.

CVX Premium with Sunroof - Same features with CVX Premium pero may dual sunroof.

Di na ako updated sa prices nila ngayon eh. Basta sulit yung CVX Premium. May ganyan yung friend ko. Nung na-drive ko, parang mas gusto ko pa kesa Tucson ko

Parang hindi van ang Grand Starex sa lakas ng arangkada. Sobrang tahimik pa sa loob tsaka comfortable talaga.

Comfy nga ang GS, kahit HARI edition lang. You do forget that you're driving a van as big as an Expedition. Having the engine located separately from the passenger area does play a big part in the quiet interior, although maganda nga din yung insulation ng GS.

Our GS is TCi A/T Oct 2009. Hhhmmm... baka nakatsamba lang ako sa aking unit.

What I meant was the 4 sockets have provision for a second contact. So, we just transferred the contacts+wires from the second pair and put them on the first pair and so, we have double contact sockets.

Road fit is also Primal Enterprises. I don't know what the eligibility criteria is, but if you can prove that you are a reseller or a store owner with the intention to sell, you can get the products at a reseller's price. My pal used to have store in Banawe. Road Fit/Primal ang supplier nila.

Yes sir, road fit is the supplier of many shops along banawe. Si goldcars banawe is one of their customers. Kaya dun ako kasi mas direkta and lower ang price kaysa na sa ibang stores na may patong na.

Sa tingin ko talaga namang naka double contact yan, since parehas naman pinanggalingan ng HARI and gray market units. Pagdating lang dito sa Pinas malamang pinag tatanggal ni HARI for cost cutting measures.
At yung HARI version walang signal repeater/body color side mirrors kahit pa gold version. Baka sa platinum variant meron na heheheh. Afaik gray market units lang may body color side mirror w/ signal repeaters.

[CVT]

Double and single contacts have their advantages.

In some areas of Europe, talagang hiwalay ang brake lamps sa tail lamps or hindi lahat ng taill lamps ay may brake lamp function (e.g. 2 out of 4 lang ang may double contact). Yun ang batas. That's why most European cars are like that (Benz, BMW, Volvo, etc.).

The reason behind it is the human eye perceives the change in pattern (the change in the number of illuminated lights) than the change in light intensity (on double contact bulbs). Studies have proven that already and it helps reduce accident rates. It's the same principle behind the third brake lamp but that has the added benefit of being positioned at a higher elevation than the standard lamps.

Double contact naman gives the benefit of redundancy. You have 4 brake lamps and 4 tail lamps now in case one or two fails. Whereas before you only have 2 brake lamps and 2 tail lamps only.

Take your pick na lang. hehe

And that is the reason why I make sure that the unit I buy has a third brake lamp.....
Or, add the third brake lamp, if it does not come with the unit.....

Hmmm... I think 1 pair is already double contact, but you have to rewire for the '2nd contact' to work. The other pair, in my case, had to be changed from single to double contact.

Aside from the side mirror repeaters and body colored side mirrors on the Gold, we also do not have fender signal lights. Did a T3D and had these purchased from Pasay. For a high end/high priced unit, it's a bit 'Toyota' in terms of accessories. Hehehe! And it does pale in comparison with the CVX.

Korek ka riyan, bro. That is why we have to remove the wires/contacts from the second pair and put them in the first pair to make them(first pair) functional double contact sockets.

Ohhh,- so you got yourself a pair of fender (signal) lights, ala T3D, ha?.... Nice!

I'd still say that Toyota is worse compared to Hyundai in that respect, bro... Mas value for money pa rin ang Hyundai para sa akin....Kaso, mukha ngang isang paligo lang ang lamang....

ano yung ECM rearview mirror?
eto yata yung pinakita sa akin nung may-ari, forgot his name.hehe
Yung may steering wheel audio remote, 1.780M daw price baka Premium ng ayun kasi alam ko 1.6 ang CVX eh, kaya ngulat dn ako sa price.hehe!

[Starex_Gold]

Electro-Chromatic rear view mirror.

Auto dimming for short.

[OTEP]

A lot of other kia and hyundai products also use the euro pattern brake lamps wherein the taillamps and brake lamps dont share the same housing. Just go with whatever you like better as long as you maintain them functioning well.

Yep. Had the side mirrors body colored, but didn't want to spring for the extra repeaters. A very subtle difference from the usual Gold/CVX/HVX look.

Unfortunately, they scrimped on their GOLD variant. At least they didn't do away with the tv tho.

How would it look kaya if chrome on the side mirrors....

yung GS ng taga subdivision namin meron chrome covers sa side mirror. it reminds me of an over decorated baroque jeepney. chrome trim on the head lights, chrome trim on the tail lights, chrome fenders, chrome door handles, chrome lined step board, chrome trim on the bumpers, and yes, chrome covers on the side mirrors. the side mirrors is always the first thing i notice when i see that GS cause it's the biggest piece of chrome on it. kulang na lang talaga e chrome na kabayo sa hood.

masakit sa mata pero i'll bet gandang-ganda siya dun. "a matter of taste"? a beautiful ***y lady dressed up in glitter can look cheap, imho.

[IMm29]

I'm personally not a fan of chrome. I don't hate it such that I won't sandpaper and paint over OEM chrome, coz more often than not, OEM chrome is just enough, at least on the cars I drive, but I won't add to it.

The Prado's side mirrors and front grille are chrome. And the side mirrors are very obvious what with their size and position. But I can live with those. What I can't is to slap on the same chrome on the GS's side mirrors.

It was only yesterday that I was trailing a new GS with the same color (hypermetallic). From just the rear, you could see it was a HARI unit (1 pair of stoplights), no CVX or HVX but no GOLD. It already had the chrome taillight kit. Lo and behold, he turns the corner, and there you see all the other chrome parts. Oh well. To each his own taste.
