    Pre!!!

    About to get my tucson this weekend. Excited na ako!!! May mga tips ba kayo sa pag inspect ng bagong kotse? First diesel ko to kasi. Kahit wala bang license plate, pwede na ako umikot ng manila? may break-in period pa ba mga kotse? or ok na deretso sa tagaytay / baguio? hehehe

    Saan ba ok bumili ng aftermarket parts? Nakausap ko si darwin, sabi niya may example ng dressed up ng tucson, di ko lang naabutan. May pics ba kayo?

    Pre,

    Good luck sa bago mong Tucson. Medyo maninibago ka lang sa diesel kung sanay ka sa gasolina.

    Check mo kung kasama sa itu-turn over sa iyo yung conduction permit from LTO. 7 days lang yung conduction permit. After 7 days at wala pa yung plaka, i-garahe mo na lang yung Tucson. Mahirap mahuli ng MMDA or TMG.

    Good Luck!

    can anyone confirm if this is true?

    it does seem strange to me as my warranty is still on the service has not really been that bad.

    satisfied naman ako. the crdi felt responsive and quick to accelerate compared to my old car. Since my old car was a daewoo, thats not saying much. hehehehe.

    Drove to Tagaytay via the skyway / SSH and effortlessly got it up to 120 kph. di ko na pina accelerate beyond that kasi nga bago. Despite the egging on of 5 buddies, i still remembered the service manager tip to avoid driving fast.

    Pansin ko when driving through malate ang daming tumitingin, and one guy actually went up to me and chatted about if I felt i got a good deal. hehehe.

    Have you not read the manual? There is no formal break-in but for the first 1000KM, you should not be running above 80Km/h. It's one way of taking care of it. Congrats to your new baby though!

    Check mo dre yung tire pressure, nung nilabas ko yung Tuc ko medyo matagtag yun pala nasa 50psi yung hangin. I deflated it to 32psi . . . ayun swabe na ang ride. enjoy your ride!

    Sir get the 4x4 CRDi so you'll have the airbags, ABS and all wheel disk brakes.

    Oh no, I've been running on 38 psi for some time now.

    Oo nga. Medyo matagtag. Ano ba talaga dapat ang tire pressure? as per specs?

    It is 32 psi, but check it. You can found it on the driver's side door pillar. (usually). Or this

    Understanding Tire Pressure

    The tire pressure recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual or tire information placard (usually found on the driver's side door pillar) is the vehicle's recommended cold tire inflation pressure. The correct tire pressure has been determined by the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle in agreement with the tire manufacturer, as the correct pressure for that specific vehicle.

    The correct psi for a specific application is always set at "cold." This means pressure should ideally be checked in the morning before the vehicle is driven more than a few miles, or before rising ambient temperatures or the sun's radiant heat affects tire pressure. Note: "cold" means not driven for at least an hour or no more than 1-2 miles at low speed.

    The key here is that the correct tire pressure, measure in PSI (pounds per square inch) is a pressure reading and not a measurement of air volume.

    A tire is like a balloon... or rather is a balloon that is attached to a wheel and then is driven. It is hard for people to understand that when you inflate a tire, like a balloon, you can inflate it until it bursts - a bad thing! The reason that the balloon or tire would burst is that you have introduced too much volume into the balloon so that it cannot flex or expand further hence the pressure increases (psi) until the elasticity can no longer accommodate additional pressure and it bursts.

    If you set the pressure of a tire when it is warm or hot, the pressure is already higher than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (cold pressure same volume) as agreed with the tire manufacturer for a specific application.

    Since air is a gas, it expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This gas is contained in a sealed container... the tire. As the gas gets warmer it expands causing the same volume of air to increase pressure.

    In most parts or North America, this makes fall and early winter months the most critical times to check inflation pressures... days are getting shorter... ambient temperatures are getting colder... and your tire pressure is going down.

    The rule of thumb is that for every 10° Fahrenheit change in air temperature, your tire's inflation pressure will change by about 1 psi; increase with higher temperatures and decrease with lower temperatures.

    In most parts of North America, the difference between average summer and winter temperatures is about 50° Fahrenheit... which results in a potential loss of about 5 psi as winter's temperatures set in... and a 5 psi loss is enough to sacrifice handling, traction, and durability!

    The difference between cold nighttime temperatures and hot daytime temperatures in most parts of the country is about 20° Fahrenheit. This means that after setting tire pressures first thing in the morning, the vehicle's tire pressures will be almost 2 psi higher when you measured in the afternoon (if the vehicle was parked in the shade). While that is expected, the problem is when you set your vehicle's tire pressure in the heat of the day when the tire is NOT COLD, the cold pressures will probably be 2 psi lower the following morning. If the vehicle is parked in the sun, the sun's radiant heat will artificially and temporarily increase tire pressures.

    hello po to everyone! newbie here and seriously considering to buy tucson but cnt make up my mind whether gas at or crdi. primary consideration is fuel consumption. iba iba kc ang feedback re:fuel consumption and konti pa lang and crdi owners na nagpost abt their fuel consumption. Pls help!

    sir kung primary concern nyo po is fuel consumption then you should go for the CRDi variant. kaso mejo mas mahal nga lang sya

    I had the same problem before. The points to consider are:
    1. The difference with the CRDi and the gas (automatic) is around P130,000. Is that amount comparable to the amount you will save by using diesel instead of gasoline? If so, for how long? less than 5 years?

    2. Fuel consumption is highly dependent on driving skills. Are you an "efficient" driver. As for me, I consumed around 9-10 km/liter in my 1 month. Not bad since I used to average 8 km/liter with my Isuzu Fuego before.

    3. The interior of the CRDi is black while the interior of the gas versions are beige. Will that matter to you?

    I hope this helps.

    By the way, I got the CRDi because I'm used to diesel and it looks better with the dual exhaust.

    thank you sir! you hit the nail right on the head! your #1 point is exactly what I have in mind: would the 130,ooo difference be comparable to the amt i'll be able to save by using diesel.sabi po kasi 8-9 km/l ang gas while 10-11 km/l ang crdi (both city driving) so konti lang difference and although mas mura ang diesel, mas madalas and mahal ang maintenance e.g # liters of oil and frequency of maintenance. and although I prefer the beige interior (like in the innova), ok lang if black

    Ala ba CRDi 2WD with ABS, Dual Airbags + Curtain (available abroad), and other safety features? Any guesses by how much will the price go up to get these features?

    The current CRDi 2WD is really devoid of any safety features, almost like buying a vehicle ten years ago.
