"Hyundai teases all-new 2013 Santa Fe ahead of debut"

[bratski]

For every purchase naman ng new vehicle may risk din, albeit a much smaller one compared sa second hand. Lalu na when you purchase an all new and untested model. Kadalasan may glitches pa. Dito nagkakatalo ngayon ang distributor. Nagkataon lang na ang HARI palpak sa after sales support lalu na sa parts availability.
I dunno if you heard about the horror stories na bagong bili tapos tumirik and walang pyesa ang hyundai casa. Tapos it will take months bago dumating ang part thus making your brand spanking new Hyundai out of commission until the part arrives.
Learned my lesson the hard way dahil nagpadala ako sa emotions ko and impulse buying the new accent kahit wala pang track record. I'm not usually like that kasi previous vehicle purchases ko nag reresearch muna ako mabuti and pagkalabas ng all new model inaantay ko muna feedback sa local market minimum of 2 years before i buy. Ngayon ko lang hindi sinunod yang ugali ko sumablay na agad.
Well sa kotse naman hindi naman talaga natin maiiwasan na may masira kahit bago. Ang problema kasi ng HARI ay wala silang ample supply ng spare parts lalu na at all new model. It will take years bago ma realize ito.
Wala naman ako kasi naging problema sa GS ko at SF (which incidentally both are diesels).so hindi ko alam na pag may nasira pala malaking problema.

Ano kaya ginawa ng Hyundai to improve Fuel efficiency? And to Address Torque steer? Hirap ng high-torque engine sa FF.

Ang tipid and at 1,500 ++ rpm already travelling at 70KPH.

Nice!

Totoo kaya ito??

Mukhang. Ganyan din naman sa current Tucson R at Santa Fe R eh.

Kapag nasa sportronic mode ka, pwede mo na ilipat sa 6th gear *70km/h.

Yun nga lang diyan sa pic, naka D mode lang yung SF. Or kinabit ng Hyundai yung 8 speed dual clutch A/T.

Instrument cluster looks similar to the Sonata's with a few minor differences.

Yun Xtrail CVT kaya ng 80kph at 1,500 rpm. Pero patay talaga sa FC pag na stuck sa traffic. I think most 6 speed vehicles can easily do this, even 6spd manuals.

^ Agree. Just like all other brand basta traffic pataaay/ goodluck sa FC

Kaya mahirap maniwala sa mga EPA ratings ng ibang countries since different driving conditions sila. Dapat gumawa Philippines ng sarili para may standard rin mga car manufacturers for heavy traffic. Only EV, hybrids and start-stop system ang bagay sa atin. Kung pumasa sa Phil, pasado na yan sa lahat haha.
