i can't believe how quite my SF V6 engine is... pag idling you can't hear it running, at wala pang vibration...

switched to Caltex Silver and getting better FC...

All in all, It was only today that i've realized that i've made a right choice in getting the SF.
its kinda hard to explain... lets just say that when push comes to shove, i'm certained that my SF won't let me down.

coolman... i know how you feel... ever since i got my SF i have always been thinking if i made the right choice... for the last 7 years my car has been a honda and i have not had any problems with the service of the casa... i looked and test drove the new CRV because that was what i wanted to get, but i found the CRV small...

in the end i chose to get the SF because it fit my needs and i liked the interior it was very classy and did not look cheap like the others...

now after 2000km i know i made the right choice... ride is super smooth, engine is super quite and there is no vibration...

sir javoy get a shock sensor for your ride, my sensor is not that sentsitive coz when trucks pass by our house it does'nt go off. but when I park out side or in the mall it doz go-off. dont know if its a coincidence, but I think thieves are smart enough to check if your car has sensors like this on your car by simply banging on the b-pillar of your ride and if your a thief you wont waste your time on car with that much trouble.

Also dont be too confident about parking near guards, saw a week ago on TV. I think he was a columnist (Iza Red i think) the back of his car got smashed and theives took a lot, and from the camera angle of the TV, the guard house was a few (5-10) meters a way and according to the guards they did'nt hear or saw anything (Greenhills parking yata yun!) Lucky for him the management promised to replace the lost valuables. but hey hes a columnist! You'd be better off puting a Police sticker or ID on your car rather than park there! You know how it goes!



dont use too dark of a tint, you might be safe from thieves, but you maybe as blind as a bat at night. That would cost more.

Have learned my lesson... nowadays, I don't leave anything insider my car anymore. Except kung sedan ang dala ko kasi puwede naman sa trunk ilagay. Nag-ka-phobia na rin nga ang wife ko and it now takes her a long time to find a proper parking space when she goes out... Yung malapit dapat sa guard station, sa maraming dumadaan or yung sa maliwanag na lugar.

I'm also thinking of making my tints darker (except for the windshield). Medium dark tint siya ngayon. Do you guys suggest to remove the original and replace with a darker one or would it be ok to just put another layer on top of the existing tint?

Dahil 0.5% ang participation sa insurance, parang babayaran ko na rin ang repair myself as the total cost would be around 8K+ to replace the window, slash divider and tint.

guys what do you think about ziebart's diamond gloss treatment for our sta fes, also is it dvisable to also have our sta fe rust proofed by ziebart?

[Horsepower]

bubutasin nila yung body ng car sir (every panel), then they'll spray a chemical inside, something hyundai already did. Not really comfortable with that

i had my 2000 civic rust proofed at ziebart before and it was worth it... i only paid less than 200 pesos a year for them to check on it... tapos lifetime warranty pa on rust...

i noticed sa bottom ng SF natin naguumpisa na ung rust on some parts...

i would be more comfortable after the ziebart rust proofing kasi lifetime ang warranty, yung sa hyundai i got to see the inside of my SF when they installed the rear plate and i am not comfortable about the rust proofing of hyundai... also 3 years lang ata ang warranty ng hyundai sa rust...

[DragonHeart]

akala ko tatanggalin lng mga molding sa loob

i would rather that they do not remove the moldings inside... once you start removing it, it could be the start of the molding not fitting back properly, or noise inside the door...

they do drill holes but then they cover it with a special cap...

wow less than 2000

ngayon daw 13,000.00 na.
lifetime warranty with an annual fee of 600.00

[DragonHeart]

wow less than 2000

ngayon daw 13,000.00 na.
lifetime warranty with an annual fee of 600.00

initially i paid 7k tapos every year after that less than 200 pesos

its only 10,200 for our SF...

[potpot2]

so wala pala factory rustproofed sf or sobrang nipis rust proofing ng factory

papa rust proof and diamond gloss ako tomrrow sa ziebart.

[potpot2]

isa pa po mga fellow sf owners, meron napo ba sa inyo nakapagpakabit ng shock sensor, kasi atin po alarm lang pag open door.
pag binasag window hindi mag alarm

share naman po kayo ano brand maganda alarm, san po maganda bumili at magpakabit

mas maganda sana kung upgrade lang ng stock alarm natin, ung po bang sensor nalang idagdag, ung dating remote padin natin gAgamitin

Hi blue_gambit, that's one of the upgrades I'm looking into, di ko pa lang ma-asikaso at this time, still have to research on the best fit that's available in the local market. As far as the tint is concerned, I'm only planning on changing the sides and possibly the rear, will leave the front as is. Mahirap nga kung sobrang dark...

I did hear about the break-in sa car ni Isah Red, he lost his MacBook Pro among other things. Do you know if he had an apple sticker on his car, maybe that is also one of the things that attracts these thieves...

[potpot2]

im planning to get the autopage rf-420 alarm with lcd screen on the remote.

wala kayang problema sa warranty?

You can look for Mr. Nonoy of Hyundai Alabang. Madaling syang kausap at maasikaso. Mine is a Superior Red SF. Lahat naman ng colors ng SF ay OK para sa akin.
