Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[sunchoo]

same here...parang sabog nga eh...di kaya because of the frosted glass cover...baka di tumatagos ng husto don yung white light...

btw...whats the HID with autoleverer...meron ba non?

cardo: since proj headlamps naman cya d cya gaano masakit sa mata ng opposite vehicle as opposed to conventional headlamps kc supposedly confined ung area ng buga thru the proj lens.

Echoing chuaa's query, meron ba nung HID's with autoleveler? pansin ko lang w my mazda3 2.0 na proj headlamps din, walang naging problema. Medyo sabog kc dto sa SF and hindi gaano malinaw. How about urs chuaa, have u tried to bring it back to the one who installed urs to adjust the aim?

di pa nga eh...just had it installed yesterday...might bring it back tom....pero as i said earlier....di kaya because of the projector lens kaya mahina ang buga??? whats the specs on your HID..mine is 10,000k

ahhh I forgot Projector type pala SF. Try nyo sa LA CAR accessories sa makati, meron silang laser aiming device to properly align the HID install, but not sure. I have not tried it hehehe I think yun GT HID(GT is the brand name) may autolevel sya

yun ibang cars, pati foglamp ginawang HID's hehehe

[Horsepower]

chuaa: wala kang makikita sa 10,000k. dapat mga 4000k lang. try mo hanapin yung HID FAQs sa website ni Daniel Stern ata yon

Personally, ok na ako sa stock headlights ng SF.

[C24]

tama, mahina ang 10,000K na parang purplish na ang kulay, I tried those before sa ibang car. mas okay ang 4300K or 6000K

[sunchoo]

10,000K medyo wala ka na nga makikita nyan Mine is 6000K. Might try LA CAR as suggeted by cardo.

Hi SF owners!

This is my first post in tsikot and I followed this thread closely because I'm interested in getting a Santa Fe. This thread helped me alot in my selection especially because of the smart posts from SF owners who are obviously smart buyers!

I was able to test drive the SF also at the recent MIAS and I love it.

Can you help me pick which dealer has the best deals in town (Metro Manila only)? I read in this thread that Alabang gives away free back sensor, 3M tint, rain gutter aside from the discount, regular LTO reg and mats.

Again comparing it to Fortuner, which has more legroom and head clearance on the 3rd row?

[mazdamazda]

no contest hehehe IMO. Its everything the fortuner is not - Powerful non problematic CRDI VGT, disk brakes all around, independent super comfy self leveling suspension, bigger mag wheels, fold flat to the floor 3rd row, all aluminum V6 with realtime 4wd, 'blakenized' projector type headlights that are more handsome, plus more curves hehehe

Seems like HARI havent updated their website for over a year already......

Does the Santa Fe here have the ff:

*Dual airbags?
* 18 inch alloy wheels
*dual zone air conditioning, auto climate control?
*cargo/luggage cover/screen
*roof rack

Are there any feature difference bet. the gas and diesel variant? I know the gas is AWD already while the diesel is 4x2 only.

What's the fuel consumption of the diesel?

Thanks

hindi nagpapatest drive dyan sa hyundai c5, went there february. we were supposed to buy a starex grx but ayaw magpa test drive so we ended up buying another brand instead.

sir, the 2.7V6 has the highlighted ones, the cargo screen is available but optional, but try negotiating for a free one.
roofrack is standard to both gas and diesel.

please check our previous post for our fuel consumption.

Bad Trip ako yesterday....While on my way to Alabang from Calamba, A speeding crosswind kissed the ass of my SF. Ang hirap talagang maganda SUV mo, nakakalimutang mag-preno ang sumusunod sa iyo.

My kids were all shaken by the impact. Thanks GOD, safe naman kaming lahat.
Kakaasar nga e, 915km plang ODO reading ko, nabangga na agad.

One thing i can say with our santa fe..Matibay po sya... kahit malakas ang impact sa likod ko, bumper lang ang nagalusan. But i insist on Bumper change sa insurance ko.


My Lovely SF


The ugly X-wind

niloloko mo ko eh. poste binangga ng Isuzu eh di SF
glad your all safe bro.
paglipat sa namin sa Alabang mid-April ikaw una kong kokontakin.

Hahaha... Ang laki din ng participation sa insurance, yung crosswind ang nagbayad.
Total estimated damage sa SF ko ay Php 38,000.oo. Palit ang rear bumper at painting jobs sa right side doors caused by debris from Isuzu Crosswind's bumper.

Sir, pag reserve mo na ako ng stepboard...I'll be leaving this Friday back to work for 28 days (Qatar) and be back 1st week of May. Tamang tama ang lipat mo sa alabang, la nang problema sa pagkakabit ng stepboard. Meron ka na ba nung side mirror LED signal lights for SF?

[kokey]

Built like a TANK pala STA FE. Base sa looks e matibay crosswind, e hindi pala.

Before I bought my SF, top of my list was a Fortuner. But because of all the problems encountered by owners of Fort including the weak brakes, I finally decided to get the SF.

I have negotiated with around 5 Hyundai dealers and I believe I was able to get the best deal in town. Please PM me with so that I could refer you to my SA.

Keif Falik Sadik!! namimis ko na yata middle east... too bad to hear what happened to your SF. kaya ako ay ingat na ingat sa mga ganyang drivers. Natanong mo ba sa casa kung maibabalik original color? I'm just wondering kasi baka di nila magaya yung 3 color shades ng superior red natin..

Just arrived from Hundred Islands. balikan ko halos kalahati tangke lang nabawas. If i remeber it right, around 500 kms biyahe ko balikan with a consumption of around 30 liters, that's approximately 16.7 kms/l. Marami rin kaming hinto na naka-idle engine..

After Holy week pa daw sisimulan ang repair ng Santa Fe ko. Makikita natin kung kaya nilang gayahin yung shades ng Superior red. Otherwise, i will return it back to them.
