2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

After backreading a few pages, it seems i am more discouraged. Hahaha

Its like our kia carnival all over again.

Mahirap ba talaga kausap si hancars sa warranty?

Hindi naman sirain ang GS as long as you take care of it. Kung talagang pangit ang performance ng GS hindi naman kami magkakaroon ng more than 1 GS in the family. Bale 6 ang Starex na alaga ko ngayon, my own personal 2009 CVX A/T, my parents' 2 GS, a 2010 and 2013 CVX, tapos sa office naman we still have an old 2002 SVX A/T which is still in very good condition and also a 2011 GS TCI M/T and lastly, a 2008 GS CRDI 12 seater A/T which was bought just last week and has only a verified 25,000km mileage, we bought it to replace the office service Innova which will be shipped to the province soon for use in the local office there.

Siguro it helps that our mechanics in the office are so used to servicing all the Starexes under my care kaya we rarely have it serviced outside, only the aircon and ATF dialysis is done outside. We source our parts from Seiring, Fronte and Goodgear.

Thanks for answering sir. Are your units from HARI or Hancars? or any grey market importer...

My 2009 CVX was bought from Pitstop, my parents' 2010 was bought from a gray market importer based in Ortigas, the 2013 was bought from Car Options in D Tuazon QC, we looked at the units of Hancars before we bought from Caroptions but they were more expensive by 200k loaded with stuff that my parents find useless for them. We also looked at Chicane Auto Access but they only had a white unit available and we really wanted the Hypermetallic color.

The 2011 TCI and 2008 CRDI 12 seater are both HARI units, they were bought second hand.

Thanks for the info sir. For peace of mind i think we should get our unit from HARI. Those additional toys are just more things to go wrong anyways.

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

Kumho portran kc53 ang suitable for the GS coz of the load rating.

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.

Ra08 medyo iba design heheh

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

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.
