Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[hbk]

finally decided to go with this baby, we'll get the unit this weekend, sakto paguwi dyan sa pinas.we've chosen the CRDI gun metal color, black interior.

di na ako makatulog sa excitement.

wala pa bang santafe club?

Hi yuichi, congrats sa new Santa Fe mo
right now i have the same dilemma as you had before, Forester XT or Santa Fe, still can't make up my mind, although im more inclined to get the Forester XT. Problem ko lang with Subaru is they don't give freebies, no tint, or free registration.

Manipis ata ang kita ng Subaru locally kaya walang freebies. :D

[Horsepower]

Congrats Yuichi! hehehehe

Not sure kung may SF Club na, let's hear from Hyundai C5 (sila rin nag-start ng Tucson club, I asked and they will daw). May occassional fun-runs sila na funded nung chairman who also drives a gun metal SF (bait no?). hehe.

went to hyundai pampanga and testdrove the CRDI yesterday at NLEX. the interior looks good to me(black) and the power is just amazing, for a diesel. di ko namamalayan 140kph na ko. i think nasagad ko s 185kph. wow talaga!

but it has'nt really been active.....its either there isnt that much sta fe owners...or we havent found any major problems or complains that we need to talk about......

Kapag 4x4 CRDi pala malamang pumalo ng 1.7M+... Medyo mabigat na. :D

hahaha! personal preference ko talaga forster XT, pero pag pamilyado ka na dapat yung need muna nila kaya sante fe ako. sabi ko nga kay misis, siya pinagbigyan ko ngayon, sana pagbigyan niya ako iipon ako para sa wrx or evo, hehehe!

congrats yuichi...

yung utol ko din... leaning towards to Santa Fe (after I sales pitched it to them). baka yun ang bilhin nila next year.

either that or the Sorento (wala na akong bilib sa Japan diesels kasi).

oT....tingin ko darami pa nga mga matatauhan na sante fe is better than the fortuner....IMO. to be fair, i almost owned a fortuner, inatras ko lang dahil sa haba ng pila at napunta sa friend ko...anyway buti na lang di ako napunta sa bungi.

Ako rin almost an owner of a 2.7G Fortuner. Buti na lang naunang bumili friend ko and immediately he told me about the matagtag ride and fuel consumption. He said his 95 Trooper even rides better. Besides, masyado nang maraming Fortuner sa kalsada kaya nakakasawa na rin.

feeling ko din dadami pa ang sta. fe owners kung tatagal ang modelo na'to katulad ng starex. grabe yun starex, late 90's pa ata yun.

I really like the sta fe also. If i'm going to get a car, this will be it esp the 2.7 v6. everytime i pass by hyundai e. rod napapatingin ako sa black sta fe they have displayed. and besides the dealer is next to our place, i could just walk from dealer to home in 10 mins hehe proximity-wise it is so ideal! so a hyundai is next on my wish list

[ehw953]

san po ba mga dealers ng hyundai aside from e. rod?
ganda ng sta. fe... nainlove din ako sa commercial nito nakita ko kahapon sa abs cbn...

yup... an ex-future fortuner owner here too. hehe.

actually the fortuner ain't that bad. it is just that the korean alternatives (sorento & santa fe) are much better vehicles in my book.

may bagong hyundai dealer... in balintawak just after shell (northbound).

finally took home my baby fe last saturday. my wife was relly impressed with the comfort, power and luxury. pati brod at mga pinsan nakitestdrive at yung uncle ko na balak bumili ng fortuner, eh magbabago na yata isip.

pero sa ngyon ala pa ring tint si fe. gusto ko kasi yung totally colorless...yung dedeflect lang niya talaga yung UV rays at heat. meron ba non dito sa atin? sa china gamit ko yung 3M na 8080 series....dito ala akong makita. yoko kasi ng may tint...parang madaling maluma..IMO.

any advice??

[wren]
