Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[tidus1203]

Lamang lang Alterra sa off-road capability because galing pick up truck pero YUN LANG! Sa style ang pangit ng Alterra (pick-up na sinalpakan lang ng bubong) pinaka pangit sa mid-size SUV category mukang kotse ng patay (hearse)... Ugly interiors, noisy engine, very 3rd worldish ang dating! Weaker na nga yung engine ng Alterra higher displacement pa so mas magastos sa engine oil, 4 speed automatic VS the Santa Fe's 6 speed I am not biased, its the truth!

Ok ba talaga ang Hyundai Sta. Fe? Compared to Isuzu Alterra, alin mas ok, yung Hyundai Sta. Fe or yung Isuzu Alterra? Yung price kasi ng Sta Fe na 4x2 na diesel at 1,558,000, medyo malapit na sa price ng Isuzu Alterra na 4x4 at 1,680,000.

Ganito na lang sir to be able for you to decide which is which.
Punta po kayo sa CASA ng Isuzu and Hyundai and start ninyo ang makina ng sasakyan and you can fell the big difference.
You will then appreciate the beauty of silence.

Dati po kasi eh nasa list ko Alterra eh kaso nga lang ayaw ko naman na parang truck pa rin tunog ng 1.6 m ko.
The only advantage ng Alterra sa akin lang po eh yung Height, lenght and then yung po 5.1 surround nila.

If i am going on a Luzon-wide road trip with my household/family (1 driver, 1 yaya, wife, and 3 kids), alin ang mas ok? 4x2 na Isuzu Alterra or 4x2 na Hyundai Sta. Fe (diesel crdi)?

Kaya naman kaya ng 4x2 Hyundai Sta. Fe (diesl crdi) tawirin ang Halsema Highway, from Baguio to Banawe then onwards to Sagada, then balik sa Metro Manila passing through Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija? Pwede na ba 4x2 na Isuzu Alterra or Hyundai Sta. Fe or kelangan 4x4 na Isuzu Alterra or Sta. Fe?

kung highway lang naman lahat with minimal off roading kaya na ng 4X2 kahit thousands kilometer pa...fyi diesel is a hauler with the advantage in uphill and long trips and since it is long trip i'm biased to santa fe for its comfort and easier handling + responsive engine...

It depends on the roads that you are trekking. If the roads are widely unpaved then get the Alterra. But if the road is not that harsh, and to think that it can be passed by a sedan, then the Sta. Fe is the way to go.

Regarding on the distance to be traveled, no problem. The Sta. Fe can take it and like what saipeme said, even thousands of kilometers ... it can.

Long trip pala ang plan ninyo with slight rough road (I assume). Dapat hindi bumpy ang ride nyo kapag long trip or else hindi nyo mae-enjoy ang trip.

Yung mga lugar na nabangit mo ay passable naman po kahit sedan pwede. Yung Hansema Highway going to Sagada kahit na Getz nararating yan. Maganda po ang daan sa Nueva Viscaya then Ecija so 4x2 lang kayang kaya yan. With regards to kung SF or Alterra I think Sf has the advantage in terms of new engine CRDi eVGT technology (2.2L with 194HP), maintenance free 6 speed A/T transmission. More advance HU capable of viewing TV, touchscreen 7" monitor, GPS, reverse cam monitor in the rear view mirror, auto fold side mirror etc...

Good luck!!!

Sorry medyo OT po.

Nels, bakit hindi ka makapag post? I checked naman your account and its all good.

What seems to be the problem?

I think I screwed up yong firewall ng laptop ko.
Weird. Kasi I can log-in sa site and can browse through threads and If I want to reply to a post, nakakapag-compose naman ako, pero once I click the Submit button, ayon, ang makikita ko lang is a white screen. Lately lang 'to nangyari and there are 2 other sites that I also encounter this same problem (TipidPC.com and PinoyPS.com).
Tried different browsers and modified the Internet Security Levels pero ganon pa din.

Anyway, share ko lang video ni SF ko sa Matnog back in April 2009.

sa last shipment ng hyundai karamihan pala santa fe 4X2 pero wala 4WD duda ako na price issue ang dahilan kaya they opt it kasi cgurado paglabas ng crdi santa fe 4WD close sa price ng crdi tucson 4WD...

Yan din po hula ko Sir pero with regards to premium baka mas mataas ng 100K dahil sa dami ng feature kasama duon ang moonroof like Sorento

[Starex_Gold]

guys magkano maintenance ng Santa Fe niyo?

[trackers888]

SG depende po sa KM usage ang cost pero ang average is between 3k to 4k kung standard PMS. Minsan depende rin sa CASA

http://www.santafeclubph.com/forums/...php?topic=36.0

[Starex_Gold]

parang hindi gaano kamahal. Mas mahal pa yung sa Tucson. Yung sa Tucson daw baka mag average from 5-6K depending on the casa & type of oil.

I'm considering an used SF to replace the Trooper kasi. Mukhang SF yung perfect na maging kapalit

[Starex_Gold]

Sa tingin nyo ok 'to?

SG makinis pa yung SF na yun ah!

Make sure lang na hindi nabaha dahil subra po selan ng Computer Box ng SF sa baha. Mukhang all stock naman malibas sa back-up sensor. Kayang kaya pang humabol nyan sa upgrade dahil maraming accessories na ngayon ang SF na available

With regards to 2010Tucson mo, ang alam ko 8liters ang oil na nagagamit nyan while ang SF kahit na yung 2010 model 5 3/4 liters lang. Paki correct lang po kung mali

[Starex_Gold]

actually hindi ko hilig mag set up. ahihihi

HID, 2010 Spoiler, at step board lang (for kids) and Tints siguro.

yung 2010 SF po 7.2L of oil

[tidus1203]

The new SF might be more powerful pero happy na din ako sa old SF ko at least di masakit sa bulsa pag PMS time na...

[Starex_Gold]

agree with you tidus. hirap sa Tucson eh. Semi synthetic pa daw kailangan. pero kayo ba mineral oil lang ginagamit nyo?
