Hyundai Tucson

i think sa CRDi natin aabangan yung panoramic bro.

Is that a clock just above the 10KM reading? What happened to the trip meter?

EDIT: elapsed time pala yun na nagamit kotse (yeah, medyo virgin pa kasi medyo busy yung driver )

may panoramic sunroof rin ba units ninyo

the 4x4 gas version should have the sunroof - sinasave nila lahat ng features para sa highest end models.

baka matripan nilang lagyan ng sunroof yung lahat ng variants ng diesel, baka yung high end lang rin... considering their april 2010 commitment to bring the diesel units is still some months away (not to mention di pa natin alam ilang flavors ng diesel ilalabas nila), marami pa rin pwede magbago.

I've been checking out the specs of the new Tucson at http://www.hyundaitucson.com and its loaded with goodies. However, my friend who bought a Starex recently noticed that the local Hyundai tend to skimp on other features to save on cost.

Question lang sa mga current owners of the 2010 Tucson, may panoramic sunroof rin ba units ninyo (front and back)? Thanks.

According to the print ads, the panoramic sunroof will be on the 4WD GLS-Premium variant though a 4WD GLS (no sunroof) is also available.

Hmmm, I've never had a car with a sunroof, although my friends who do have them almost never open them, or keep the moonroof panel closed (kung glass ang roof). Umiinit lang ang kotse. IMHO, it's just another potential failure point for leaks, shattering, etc.

Yes it's a MUST! Checked the manual of our Sta. Fe and it states there that the engine eats the engine oil at a rate of 1 L per 1,000 km. Since the engine oil required is 5.8 L, talagang mauubos yung engine oil.

I don't agree nor believe this. 1L per 1,000 kms? so in 5,000 kms the 5 L is already eaten up and only 800 ml of oil will be left? :doh:

exactly my thoughts too..must be a leaking valve seal or a blowby if thats the case

kami tatlo crdi. we have a 1.5 crdi engine na getz. sabi ko sayo parang lilipad yun getz namin sa arangkada

if the tucson crdi is more powerful than a 2.2 crdi sta. fe big body (which I have), eh di same effect yan ng getz


now regarding conservation ng fuel i doubt it, the more powerful the engine the more temptation it is to take advantage of its power so therefore i doubt if you'll have great fuel savings. I think I have mellowed down in my driving style..daddy driving ika nga..maingat at magaan na ang paa sa pedal.

kaya nga walang halaga sa'kin kung CRDi or CVVT gas ngaun bec. I have already tried and owned both. ang sa'kin kung san ka makakatipid pero same effect. the effect which is you are driving a ***y tucson.

wag masyado magpapaniwala sa diesel kasi brainwash lang yan ng old school pajero's na kesyo nun araw eh mas matipid daw ang diesels. hindi na tutoo yun. grabe lumaklak ang crdi engine parang gas din. Given that both CRDi and Gas have the same km/L fuel consumption, don't you think that the price difference of diesel and gasoline is already a significant savings?


ang isipin mo eh kung san mo gagamitin, kung to and fro and work and occassional gimmicks here in the city, get the gas version. if you will travelling sa nearby provinces, still get the gas version kasi traffic na din naman yun. if you will be going back and forth to baguio or bicol weekly, still get the gas version. kasi pag nagdiesel ka, mas lalong naman mahal maintenance ng crdi makina pag mahabaan biyahe. Sir, malaki ba difference sa cost ng maintenance ng CRDi at ng gasoline? How about yung frequency ng maintenance between the two? Di pa kasi ako nagkakaroon ng CRDi na engine kaya I need some enlightenment.

why the gas version, your savings of 300k srp between gas and crdi versions pang-gas mo na yan for 1-2 years

I thought the price difference would be around 150K, its a lot more than that pala.

oonga e. lumampas ka lang ng konti sa PMS mo,ur running your car with no engine oil at all. impossible ata yun.

Well... it's in the manual... 1L per 1000 km is max rate.... Moral of the story have a change oil & oil filter every 5,000 kms.
