We're planning to buy this car. I already had test driven it I'm quite satisfied with its performance. Does anyone already own this? Care to comment on its performance and reliability? Thanks

On reliability, I think it's a bit early to tell, for the local market since it's a new offering. Perhaps other websites have inputs on this. Performance is okay. It's got a low end kick, but then it seems to lose some of this kick when the revs go up. And there are quite a lot of plastic touches on the interior, like the dash for instance. Customer space is great. Overall, it seems to be quite a solid SUV with a very reasonable price for SUVs of its size.

for 900k+, its a very affordable compact suv

I also plan to get the gas version. I already test drove it and I must say the power is adequate. My real apprehension is really on reliability.

Hyundai is pretty reliable. Just look around at all the Starex on our roads.

yung sa akin 2wd , AT CRDI, bought in korea September 2004 while i was stationed there. So far, wala pa namang recall akong nabalitaan or nabasa pa. Sa ngayon, almost 2 months na dito yung aking karitong tucson using local diesel ( shell lang po ang gamit ko) at wala pa ding kausok usok at the only time it went to shop ay nung nagpa change oil ako (pwere usog). Sarap ihataw sa nlex, ang lakas ng hatak at ang bilis sa accelaration and i am averaging about 10Km/liter for mixed highway-city driving. OT na yata ako. BTW, hindi available yung gas version sa korea.

Wala pa naman bang lumalabas na squeaks and rattles?
