Lucky guy!

This forum helped me a lot in picking this ride! Thanks to Tsikot and all its members!

Just got my Santa Fe 2.7 V6. I was worried about the beige leather seats dahil dumihin and I have 3 kids. To my surprise the unit I got has the black leather with red linings. Even the sales exec didn't know what happened there. Akala ko CRDi lang ang may black leather.

Ganda ng combination ng Black and red. Kapag 4x4 or optional?

I did not specify any interior color dahil akala ko beige talaga kapag 2.7 V6. I guess in other countries you can specify the interior color and color combination you like. I got my unit from Hyundai Quezon Av. Ask mo na lang kung meron pa silang units with black/red leather trim.

Hi guys! Actually, medyo di ko pinansin yung Santa Fe when it first came out but I got a chance to take a close look today and I'm considering it for my next car. For the price/features, I think its a much better buy than a Fortuner even if "Toyota" badge equals to better resale.

Since magkalapit lang price diff ng gas and diesel, I'm wondering which one is a better buy overall. Have some questions (sorry kung napagusapan na pala dati)
1) In terms of power, which one feels faster? Mas mataas yata HP ng gas but CRDI has better torque.
2) Which version has nicer looking interiors?
3) What's your average city fuel consumption for both gas and diesel versions?
4) What other features do you get with gas variant aside from 4x4 and auto climate aircon?

Thanks !!

For the Santa Fe CRDi, I opted to get Castrol CRB Turbo for CRDi Turbo engines 20W-40 ano po ba ibig sabihin nito? ang gamit po ng casa is yung Shell Rimula D (15W-40). Viscosity rating daw po ito. So based on these figures, alin po mas maganda?

I bought Castrol kasi laging puro Castrol talaga gamit namin.

Ok na Ok talaga sa Hyundai C5.

Full car wash after the service, gumagamit sila ng sariling Steering wheel cover and Car Seat Cover. The car stereo is not touched. Light and Cheerful yung mga tao and very friendly. Homey nga dating ng dealership na yun (as compared to other dealerships i've been to na parang dead yung atmosphere). In short, aside from the affordable prices, they go the extra mile. :-)

Horsepower- Nice to hear that the C5 dealership did go the extra mile. I'm just nearer to the e.rod branch. Will compare the services for sure when i hit my 1000kms. Sometimes for me kahit malayo ng konti but service is great, i dont mind the drive. But lets see how it goes..

ot....im also in a middle of crisis in choosing the right ride for us(for my wife). ive already placed my reservation for the forester 2.5 xt, refundable. but my wife suddenly changed her mind...babae nga siya. she tought that the FXT is quite small for 5 ppersons, just like a sedan raised up. so now she wanted a 7-seater like a fortuner, pero ayaw ko nman non. considered grandis, previa, pero gusto ko nman SUV type.so asa to list namin 2.7 v6 santa fe. asa research stage ako nagyon to decide weather to go to the gas or deisel one. di ko pa kasi natetest drive to know which is more responsive, although mas mura deisel. mas important kasi sa akin yung hatak lalo pag sa akyatan ang the v6 is 4x4.

do u have "more" advise?

i dont have any problem with the interiors, black, gray or beige....mas classy nga beige sa akin lalo pag alang tint....cleaner look like my civic.

has anyone tried changing the h.u. of the sta fe? will this void the warranty if you change the h.u.?
