Question po about the Santa Fe CRDi:

1. Do we really need to do the 1-minute engine idle before turn off routine to protect the Turbocharger? Sales Exec said it's not needed but of course we know that their department is selling not really technical stuff so here I am asking those in the know. :D

2. Up to how many KMs is the break-in period of the engine? Right now it's not run at more than 80kph usually 65-70 lang.



Many thanks again to Sir Clavel3699 for the very nice Sales Exec.

We got Free 3yrs LTO etc, and the best deal in the market. For future buyers, PM me and I'll refer you to her :-).

Nice one!!!

Kelan po lalabas ang CRDi na Santa Fe na 4x4? yun ang pamatay e kahit cguro magkatapat pa presyo ng Fortuner 3.0 saka eto patok pa rin sa mga bibili.... = )

[Horsepower]

Yun lang di ko alam. hehe dapat yung ang bibilhin eh, kaso di na makahintay kasi tag-ulan na and kailangan ng sasakyan na medyo mataas.

btw, sarap matulog sa loob nito habang tumatakbo :-)

eto din ang inaasam asam ko... Santa Fe CRDi w/ VGT 4x4!

musta mileage ng crdi....am considering the sta fe also eh...parang ayaw ko ng fortuner kasi ang dami kong narinig na matalbog daw ang ride...musta kaya ang power ng 2.2 na crdi ng sta fe...di kaya underpowered? feedback naman oh...ty

[Horsepower]

hmmm, i don't think it's underpowered because you'll feel the G-force pag accelerate kahit fully loaded with 8 people though we still don't drive it beyond 80kph (nakalagay kasi sa manual) so not sure kung ano top speed naman. Yung Mileage, di ko alam i-measure.

[chuaa]

set your trip meter to 0...then put full tank of gas...then on your next fillup...ask attendant to fill it up full tank again...then get your total km reading at that time, then divide it by the # of liters you filled it up with...that should give u the km/liter.

any other comments you may have on the sta fe? any problems so far? am still contemplating on sta fe or the fortuner eh....

[ken_the_swimmer]

fun run anyone??

[jarhead]

mahal naman ng santa fe... tapos korean car pa... mababa naman resale value nyan.. lugi tayo pag ibenta ng 2nd hand.. for me its not worth my money... 1.5M for a korean car?.... not to put down hyundai but lets face it, its the fact... maganda nga porma nya n hands down ako nun but its just not getting to me the price tag they put on it.. lugi nga fortuner nyan n rav4 sa porma.. but i want value for my money.

[OTEP]

The Santa Fe may not currently have Japanese resale value but it is VALUE FOR MONEY (those are two different things).

It has a self levelling rear suspension, disappearing third row, dual a/c, ABS, SRS, leather, dual zone climate control, 4 wheel disc brakes, etc.

IMHO, Php1.8M for a cute ute (RAV4) is what's not worth the money. You don't even get much car for so much money. Sure, it's got a designer interior and fresh face but it is somewhat lacking in substance.

Btw, I'm not into buy and sell, resale value is next to meaningless. 10 years is just the beginning of life for our vehicles.

[oldblue]

very true sir *otep.

even right now, there's no such thing as resale value. sa dami ng 2nd hand cars sa market ngaun, hanggang ideal lang naman yan price ng mga top car manufacturers. for example, average resale value ng Honda esi eh 180k. pero sigurado nag-close din naman yan sa 150k or 160k or even below under the table. even the recent Toyota Altis mataas lang sa print pero negotiable yan.

2nd hand buyers are wiser nowadays. they compare kung mas gagastos ka pa ba sa pagpaparepair at pagpapaayos at pagmaintain ng 2nd hand car or bumili na lang ng bago and take advantage of 3 years warranty or even some addl perks like free km check up/change oil.

sakit ng ulo, abala sa pagpapagawa, counted na yan ngaun sa investment sa 2nd hand car. bakit ka kukuha ng toyota altis/rav4 nga ng sikat pero sakit naman sa ulo sa dami pagawain. malaki epekto nito sa opportunity mo to earn money in a more productive way. instead of nasa banawe ka tuwing hapon looking for hard to find spare parts, makipag-meeting ka na lang si kliente mo.


dun nga sa tpc ba yun na forum. mayroon mga Us-based tpcer's na hinayang na hinayang sa mga tinatapon ng kano na mga laptops. natanggal lang hinge ng lcd, tapon kagad. nasira hdd tapon kagad. yun mga pinoy naman namumulot ng basura ng may basura. in the end, yun apartment nila filled with computer spare parts naging junk shop. akala nila maging ahead sila in life by fixing those defective things. instead lalo lang sila naging unproductive, while the Americans who threw those junks still continue to live a fast-paced life. and still ahead of them pinoy scavengers.

any new feedback on the sta fe? hows the ride? consumption and power on the CRDI.thanks

[dinan]

Here is my new ride... This is the superior red.. I'd rather call it blood red hehe. sometimes looks more like brown at night parang black na. different from the website. The red they show in europe is really more red than the one that came out here.

chuaa - as for the ride.. super happy. took the car out already for a long drive and its rides like a car. noticed though when we got the car tire pressure was 40+ had to bring it down to 32. Crossover talaga parang comparable to my camry. well camry pa rin kasi auto yun. But very happy and comfortable. As for the power, very good. Hit 130 quite fast just had to slow down bec was with kids.. Braking is strong. As for the consumption have not calculated so far. filled it up from empty used it a few days in manila went to batangas and back so far half tank at 330 km.. well, will be doing the top off to be more accurate.

Oh i got pala the 4x2 2.2 crdi.

[LucasVN]

Wow Ok ah, red ba talaga yan? Parang black na rin.. That's 4x2 CRDI? Ano na ba price ng Sta Fe ngayon, all variants?

Thanks
Luke
