Hyundai Tucson

[weisshorn]

Congrats sir Ryce for your new tucson. Sigurado di ka magsisi na hindi innova ang binili mo. Talagang ang 100km/hr speed ay hindi mo halos mapansin sa tucson crdi kapag ang kalsada ay maganda. Yan din ang unang napansin ko two years ago noong binili ang 4x2 crdi tucson ko. Mapansin ko na lang na dinadaanan ko na pala ang ibang sasakyan, pagtingin sa speedometer huh!! 110 km/hr na daw.

Kung gusto mo na mas malakas pa at responsive but smooth ang makina ni tucson kabitan mo ng tuning chip sigurado na masiyahan ka. Medyo ingat lang kasi mahirap pigilin ang urge to overtake kapag alam mo na malakas ang power at torque ni tucson.

Happy and safe driving to you. Welcome to the club.

tucson owners have you tried your sports mode? can we switch the gear to plus or minus when the car is in motion or accelerating? haven't tried mine yet im wondering if any of you have constantly using it...sorry for being ignorance i used to drive manu trans, first time in matic

Pwede ka mag shift to sport mode anytime pero ang "+" ay papasok lang pag nasa tamang speed, hindi mag upshift kapag mabagal pa ang takbo. Automatic siya na mag downshift to 1st kapag nagpreno at bumagal ang takbo approaching humps. Kailangan mong itulak ang stick to "+" para mag 2nd gear & so on. Ang pinaka gamit ko sa sport mode ay magdownshift at engine brake kapag ang kalsada ay palusong say going downhill gaya road from Baguio.

Hi sir lithium, you're comparing two differnet things, one is a sedan, the other is a crossover suv, if you like sportier handle, car like comfort, go with lancer, but if you like the space/look of a suv, the ride height, deisel engine, go with tucson. Hope this help.

Thanks Sir wahzai_swy, it is indeed the stark difference that makes me undecided. (I don't know if there is already a thread for that purpose - SUV or Sedan - to which in this case I presented 2 actual models)

Anyhow, my first choice is Tucson 4WD automatic (and I think I will go for it), the Lancer EX GLS simply caught my attention at the showroom and fell in love with it. (I posted a similar inquiry at Mitsubishi section by the way).

I hope the third week of July, I can have the Tucson. Cheers.

d2 sa amin pag anim na payatin ang sasakay pwede pa rin ang tucson. kung sobra sa lima at di lagpas sa sampu eh di ang isuzu highlander namin ang gagamitin. sa mga lakad na medyo pormal eh si tucson ang gamit to arrive destination with poise. peace

[SIZE=3]It became a habit for me to use the “manu-matic”. When just cruising or there is not much traffic, I normally use automatic mode. When there is build up of traffic and I anticipate frequent braking, it became a habit for me to flick to manual. This way I am able to regulate my speed to 2nd or 3rd gear and I don’t have to step on the brake too often.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]In situation where I foresee myself slowing down, I immediately flick to manual and downshift so I don’t have to brake too hard.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]In going downhill, again I flick to manual and downshift to 2nd or 3rd gear depending on condition. That way I can avoid stepping on the brake. When the road flattens then I switch to automatic.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I just am not sure if this is beneficial in the long run. I might be saving on my brake but I don’t know what is happening to my transmission.[/SIZE]

Hi, tuwing kelan ang PMS ng Tucson Gas variant.. every 5k? 10k? Pag ba 5k ang PMS tpos nagfull synthetic oil, magiging every 10k na ang PMS?

--newbie sa mga kotse

[tidus1203]

Every 5000km ang PMS sa Hyundai. Ask your SA regarding oil duration, siguro fully synthetic kaya 10,000 since gasoline naman yan... Pero to be safe palit pa din IMO.

[bentotz]

*tidus123 - thanks for the reply..

Tucson 2WD CRDi traction accident?

Hi, last 3 weeks ago, it was raining quite hard along NLEX and I was following a Tucson very similar to mine just to check out how it looked. We were both running at 100kph and then suddenly the Tucson I was following slipped and span and passed 2 lanes and hit the bunker. I was stunned since that Tucson was just a meter away from me with my car just on the other lane. Luckily, I think there was no injury on the passenger of the other Tucson.

Since then, I kinda had lost my trust on the Tucson 2WD traction. We were both driving on a straight road with me just on the other lane. The only difference I could think of was that my tires were still new since I just had my Tucson last April. Does it have a traction control system? What are the safety featutres of the Tucson 2WD CRDi

Did you guys encounter problems with your Tucson during high speeds both in wet and dry conditions?

ingat na lang po talaga sir sa pagdrive kapag umuulan hindi po talaga advisable na mabilis patakbo lalo na kapag maulan. mas matagalan pa sa pagdating sa pupuntuhan kung nadisgrasya. kami po wala po kami brand new cars so i dont know the feeling ng may mga bagong feature regarding sa brake systems. i only own 93 Corolla GLI and yun nga po advise mabagal patakbo. peace!

[tidus1203]

Well the 2WD has no torque split but I believe may ABS naman yan. Basta always be careful its not the Tucson's fault its the driver's fault kaya he skided. He was running too fast for the situation.

[totoybato]

hindi nga naman kasalanan ng tucson yun. almost 5 years na din yung aking tucson, kahit na equipped ito ng TCS at ABS (mine is a korean domestic model), hindi ko naman ito inaabuso para patakbuhin ng 100kph kung malakas masyado ang ulan. nasa driver din yan, baka akala nya e kinakarera mo sya kaya sya nag skid
