it depends on how you drive but it can range between 5.5 to 6.5 km/l. our 2.0 innova gas get about 5.3 km/l

Para kasi gumana ung AC sa likod, kailangan i-ON din ung AC sa likod through the switch on the 3rd row seat. Parang 3-way switch yan eh.

Di din gagan ung AC sa likod kahit na i-ON nila don kung naka-off naman sya jan sa dashboard.

thanx, tama ka, i didnt turn on the switch at the back kya d umilaw. this forum is truly helpful. anyways, i heard that there's a converter which can allow us to use our ipods with the stock head unit, is this true?also, anybody already installed a turbo timer ? any recommendations or comments?

ill go for crdi na siguro...medyo mataas fuel consumption ng v6..we really had a tough time para makapagdecide. 3 weeks kami nagcanvass sa lahat ng autodealer..until we came up with SF vs mitsu outlander.masikip yung outlander (in my case...yun lang ang downside kasi marami kasi akong kinakarga sa oto)anyway thanks for this forum..it really helps me to decide.

Here's the spoiler pic again.

Thank you lady rcya. Looks good, i think this is the same kind posted before by another SF tsikoteer. I'm seriously considering putting a spoiler and upgrading the head unit this december.

FINALLY ! My SF will be delivered this week. After 1.5 months of waiting, my 4X4 CRDi unit is here. May not be the original color i wanted but my soon to be Ebony Black unit is still a mean looker ( kelangan lang alaga sa periodic cleaning and polishing).

Joined this forum last May to research on my purchase, it took a while coz of business travels i needed to make but ALAS...I'm an SF owner na.

Am so excited to give that baby a spin. I already saw my unit up close at the dealer, just need to iron out some details on our company P.O. and insurance. (gigil na nga akong iuwi eh ). Will post as soon as i take it for a ride. More power to all SF tsikoteers.

Congratulations on your purchase. I have an ebony black SF also and i think it looks mean and elegant at the same time. Just put the right tint all around and it will look mean. Mine is 3M magic tint all around. Also, a stepboard will make it look bigger.

What do you guys think of white?

[washburn]

maganda white anlinis tignan pero hirap lang maintain

[praetorian]

I've been dreaming of buying a white SF ever since this car was introduced locally. I hope somebody's listening to my prayers!

Ayus sir Minero. I plan to use 3M Black Chrome 35 para mabangis. Haven't had a dark colored car for a while so kelangan lang sipag palinis/wax/polish and maybe annual detailing. Other than that its definitely one elegant looking mean machine.

I'll probably be driving home my baby on wednesday. Still cant decide on the stepboard. Priority ko HU upgrade para maentertain kids on long drives and i also plan to checkout spoiler of Winterpine or A-toy.

Konting tulog na lang and that baby will be all mine. More power to SF owners and tsikoteers. Whatever our rides are...enjoy na lang natin ng husto.

What do you guys think of white?

I've always had a white vehicle at any given time. My thoughts

Pros:
- gives the illusion that its bigger
- di masyado halata alikabok
- elegant looking when clean and shiny

Cons :
- Hard to bring out the shine (unless its pearlized)
- Prone sa libag on nooks and crannies

Have seen white SFs on the raod and in the showrooms. Looks really good. To be honest preference ko then when i ordered the 4X4 CRDI in order from my top choice....Silver>Gun Metal>White>Black>Blue Titanium>Superior Red (Guys, no offense kung ano man kulay SF nyo ha)

[Lucius]

Pag daddy na ko bilin ko na SF Silver, Black or Superior Red. Kaso hindi pako dad.. Pass muna! Hahaha

[red_md]

to all tsikoteers who installed hid and turbotimers for their SF.... ask ko lng which brand and where did u bought them? saan nyo pinakabit ? thanks and more power to all!!!!

[monsrick]

Ang ganda and gara! Tumama sana ko sa lotto,ibuy ko yan 3

[joarcht]

medyo nakalog na naman utak ko kasi tong pinsan ko inintroduce ulit yung Ford Everest na 4x4 at 4x2 07..anyway nagdesisyon na ako na SF na..medyo bulky kasi yung FE...at malamang mas maganda at mas comfortable SF.
any suggestions to make up my mind to 101%?

Mine is a white CRDi. Agree with all the points mentioned above... Ang napansin ko lang is the shade of white for the bumper seems to be slightly different when up close. I think it's just because of the different material.

Chose between a superior red and the white... I finally selected the white color para ma-iba naman sa mga previous rides ko which were either red or orange...

Miss ko na ang SF ko, it has been in the garage the past 4 weeks while waiting for a window replacement... Hopefully, next week, it will be finally fixed.

Sir ganyan na ganyan sinabi sakin ng owner ng Starbright na nakausap ko. Na usually daw nowadays ang mga casa hindi pantay ang front and rear bumper paint sa body nito. Tama siya, mas white nga ang bumpers.

Good Day to all Tsikoters and Sf owners. I'm a newbie here on this site. I've been religiously reading this particular thread from quite sometime now. Honestly this site and thread convinced me to get myself and the family a SF. Before, I was really skeptical on the korean badge hyundai, been eyeing the fort at first then after reviewing the specs n features and weighing down the pros n cons, particularly the aspects I look for in an suv. I'm sold to the SF. I hope to purchase it next month, superior red or black color are my preferences. Excited to be one of the fast growing number of SF owners. I have 3 neighbors who have SF now. 2 reds and 1 black. So envious of them I cant sleep at night (literally). All I have to do is sell my 2 cars for the down payment. It'll be a great xmas gift for me. I plan to get the 2.2 crdi 2x4 variant at hyundai e.rod. My sister formerly works there as finance manager so I guess I would get a good deal. Too bad she's migrating to the US this dec. Hope I can get the car before she leaves para maisakay ko sya. VIVA SANTA FE!!!!
