Hyundai Matrix

[tagalnasaabroad]

muntik ko na ma-acquire 'to;

it was just a matter of less than 100 meters down the road to change my mind..

napasok ako sa FORD EDSA dealer and everything was history.

[tagalnasaabroad]

here's the latest from HARI:

matrix:

*price P568000 mt; P618000 a/t
*quotation states w/ driver airbag but no mudguards & foglamps neither abs/ebd for m/t; w/ mudguards + foglamps for a/t, silent on abs/ebd
*sales rep too confusing: it dont have airbag daw, mudguards & foglamps pwede tawaran
*CGL insurance down to P20000 payable 60 days m/t; P2000 plus sa a/t
*fuel consumption 10 to 11km/li city driving daw; up to 13 pag hiway m/t; baka matakaw pag a/t
*freebies: tint, seat cover, tools, LTO reg.

i'm paying a reservation fee of P5000 (refundable) dahil every 2 weeks daw pataas ng P10,000; m/t na lang ako + black color; delivery time maximum 2 weeks; plate release 2weeks after unit delivery

before august baka me matrix na kami!!!! the compact fav car in UK..

[afrasay]

[tagalnasaabroad]

aba..natulog ako rito nasanay kasi akong magreply sa home page..hehehrherhehreher..

sir shockabsorber(hirap smallcap/bigcap mo hehehe), napicked-up na ho 05aug sa HARI makati pero di ko nakita talaga kasi bumalik nako sa trabaho..bale update ko lang:

1) same as my above post with free mudguards+foglamps+windows sunprotector ba 'yon?!pinalagyan ng 3M magic tint ang windshield at p5k ata..
2) me kinabit na anti theft wheel lock mechanisms when the LTO plates were fixed about a month after delivery
3) palagyan kona ng keyless w/ alarm at p6200 casa-installed kesa madale ang warranty..maybe this week pagmakagawi ulit don
4) very stable daw ang riding comfort at carlike ang feel sa mga lubaklubak..
5) nilagyan nila ng uratex foam, orocan cabinet, bags nong lumipat si bunsoy ng shared condo sa UST vicinity..luwag talaga..

my verdict for this car..? bang for d bucks..korean all the way..hehehe

[jeh_beh]

Im planning to have a look at it this weekend sa LP because im from LP. Mas ok ba kung sa edsa?

Is it really a good buy....? just asked 578 na daw price... di kaya hirap hanap parts na masisira in the future? may moon roof yung ibang pictures nakikita ko stock ba yun?

pssst. pre, OT.
Ma'am yang si shockabsorber... chix yan (at ***y pa....)

[tagalnasaabroad]

ngek..!chicks pala..sorry ma'm..

to sir/ma'm je_beh, ala hong moonroof iyong samin..one time dinala sa casa dahil me tumutunog daw pag nagpepreno; seemed the culprit was the wet weather at napadaan sa me bahang portion..could be anywhere in metromanila..

nawala naman and it's doing fine living up to what it's paid for: pang-pamilyang gamit..less than 1500km reading palang sya..

[qman]

shock and tagal,

kamusta na ang matrix nyo. planning to buy one for my wife this month. AT628K di malinaw sakin kung ano ang options na kasama doon.

TIA

[tagalnasaabroad]

hi bro qman..ours is doing fine..sofar logged 2727km after 4mos of family use & gamit din ni panganay going to her makati office..minsan pag me OT the co is doling out pangtaxi so sulit na rin pang gaso'..hehrhehrher..

[qman]

tenks tagal

mukhang dito na ko patungo nang nakita ni misis sa showroom ng Hyundai commonwealth at Q. Ave. dina mapakali eh... kaya di rin ako mapakali rito sa trabaho hehe

[tagalnasaabroad]

as i read somewhere HARI is introducing a CRDI(diesel engine) variant for matrix..tyakin nyo lang ho sa dealer mismo..imho, kahit kasi mura ang diesel pump price, ang low quality naman ng crudo being marketed satin is what turning me off..

just the same owning a brand new matrix is very exciting which as you mentioned "di na mapakali.." si mrs.; it's an investment as well for your total enjoyment & travel comfort..

price-wise, matrix is very competitive compared to other 1.6l brands.. looks and features are passable though you cannot expect airbags, ebs, moonroofs and leather seats among other top of the line offers..getting a 1.3l jap cars with automatic trannies can be too costly as well..

so by now you must have made up your mind and all i can say..enjoy life with you new matrix and happy defensive driving..!!..hehrehrhehrer..

[qman]

check ko na rin iyang diesel nila di daw nila alam kung kelan lalabas next year so di na namin hintayin iyon.

pansin ko lang medyo iba ang amoy ang loob ng matrix kahit brand new hehehe

[tagalnasaabroad]

ganon ba..?anong amoy kaya..?sakin nong umuuzi ako sa hari edsa umupo pako sa driver's seat me naamoy din ko amoy..bago..hehrehrhehr..

bro qman, better if you visit www.motioncars para me idea ka sa mga samotsaring sasakyan sa philippine market..so far kasi 1.6l line-ups matrix talaga sa low end ng price range..me mga 1.5l gaya ng aveo pero clone 'to ng daewoo disguised and slapped with a chevy logo..also it dont get much good rating review..price nito AT less than p600k perhaps..

..but..sayang lang kung pera ko ipambili jan..matrix nalang..magpakatotoo ka sabi nga nila..isa pa..dont get discouraged sa paint quality ng hyundai vehicles..beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..just do it..!

[qman]

oonga bro amoy bago hehe

sabi sakin noong agent ang designer daw ng Hyundai matrix somebody famous designer. Di ko matandaan eh at iyong signature nya nasa gilid ng matrix mismo sa hulihan bandang kanan.

bro any upgrades youve done sa matrix mo so far?

Bakit iyong ke shockabsorber ang sabi nya me net ang hulihan nya to secure the cargo. Di ko ata nakita iyon sa dalawang dealer na pinuntahan ko.

[tagalnasaabroad]

hmmm..upgrades..yong keyless entry lang..p6.2k di sya kasama sa p568k price..one week delivery after payment & other formalities..me balak ko palagyan rear spoiler pero mukhang mahal p12k daw..pinin farina signature..italyano sya..you will be surprised to learn more of its unique features..

..ke ma'm shockabsorber she got it from grey market 'ata..AKA "imported car"..yong net sa rear di ko alam..demand for it as freebie..dealer ko is hari makati.. from edsa coming from ayala right turn ka sa pasong tamo ext... 50~100meters after sa left side ang hari..forgot the sales guy name..ask for better looking accessories & stickers to enhance its looks..yong me contrast ang dating sa mata..

..worldwide, hyundai is getting the respect and attention..the skyrocketing sales performance speaks for itself..i've seen the latest "accent" sedan model from where i am in west africa..very refreshing ang dating..!

[dontworibhapi]

Qman, Pininfarinia styling house yung tinutukoy mo, designer sila ng Ferrari, lancias, fiat etc.....
meron nga akong g-shock design din nila.
may logo na pininfarinia sa likod

[qman]

ayon pininfarinia yon designer ng Ferrari thanks dontwori ano ba logo noon kasi pininfarinia na word ang nakasulat sa gilid ng matrix. ma google nga

basa ng ako ng basa ng review ng matrix gusto ko rin malaman ang mga fault nya para baga mapaghandaan.

Keyless entry is a must for me, one week ang delivery hmmm... kung kukunin na ng misis ko aabot pa bago magpasko. Patanong ko na rin kung ano ano ang mga freebies.

let me ask my agent

[qman]

tagal anong brand ang kinabit sayong alarm/keyless entry?

na quote ako ng 7.5K di natanong ng esmi ko kung anong brand iyon siyempre sila na ang kakabit. saka 24k insurance

libre tint/matting/seat cover at lto

[tagalnasaabroad]

hhmmm..alam ko casa installed ang keyless bro qman..brand no idea..p7.5k..? that's quite high, imo..me kumita najan palagay ko..but then 'yong sales guy we got is a buddy of my eldest girl & it could spell prebilihyo..hehe..

insurance premium can vary depends kung suki or again me tagadukot ka sa loob..same din sa freebies..did you check if the cargo net is standard..?

make sure you have one common choice of color para iwas misunderstanding with your kumander, imo..;)
