owning a hyundai

[numbah5]

guys, can you give an opinion about owning a hyundai pros and cons? my family will buy a new vehicle to replace our x-trail. my dad is leaning towards the all new altis but me and my mom are leaning towards the grand starex. for me i don't like the all new altis primarily because it is a CBU from Thailand, and from my experience from toyota thai CBUs (fortuner, i always use it), there are poor quality of workmanship everywhere (kalampag in the steering column na twice nang inayos ng casa but still coming back, bad appointments of plastic material and the choking of the CRDi engine) an bad service from some Toyota casas. can you please give out your opinions so i can convince my dad into buying a hyundai. thanks!

Hyundai, hirap talagang makumbinsi ang taong di sanay sa ibang brand na nakilala dati dahil sa "poor" quality
pero ngayon taking risk talaga ang mag shift sa hyundai pero ito masasabi ko sulit!
ito mga nagustuhan ko sa hyundai ko (sta fe)
1. powerful engine kahil small displacement lang siya
2. Di ka napapahiya sa overtake (hehe)
3. Turbo!!
4. comfortable ride
5. matipid sa gas
6. tahimik na engine (kaysa sa ibang CRDi)
7. solid structure ( solid ang mga pinto)
at marami pang iba
Maganda service ng hyundai ngayon kasi bago palang sila (hehe) sana tuloy tuloy
mas better kung test drive muna din iba talaga ang matest drive mo ang sasakyan para makumbinsi ka talaga na "gusto ko to"

Madami ng feedback dito about hyundai, bro. The search button is your friend.

[hominid]

Starex pa!

Tho ala pa talagang maraming feedback sa Grand Starex kasi medyo bago pa. Medyo daw me kamahalan, at may mga napapangitan sa likod.

For the 2005-2006, ayus na ayus.

Ooops, may mga budget Starex nga pala, un mga Pro. Malamang d mo trip ito.

kelangan si erpat tumingin nito. papagamit ko sa kanya account ko... lahat ng mga threads papabasa ko sa kanya.. baka mabago perception niya sa mga hyundai pag nabasa niya lahat mga post dito...

[hominid]

Pero teka sandali, the Grand Starex is huge! Really, really huge! Baka Sante Fe ang market nyo.

[Horsepower]

Sir why not just get the Santa Fe? It can seat seven, ilan po ba ang sasakay?

[numbah5]

service namin magkakapatid, pang out-of-town trips ng family or mga barkada namin... masyadong magastos kasi expedition namin sa mga out of town trips.

I already owned two starexe's already and these are the early one's 97, 98.
They are very reliable. Very good airconditioning and parts prices are cheaper by more than half compared to japanese. They say resale value is not that good but i sold my 97, after buying it used with a profit after using it for 4 years.

There are also some minor issues but i guess it comes with wear and tear and easy to fix.

Especially now, you can't go wrong with a hyundai.

STAREX namin e medyo dami naging minor defects. 2004 GRX TCI siya. Sa casa naman e kahit medyo may konting sablay technician nila e ok naman. Sa warranty e yon ang OK sa kanila kasi lahat naman ng defects e naayos nila.

akala ko ayaw mo na sa Hyundai Starex nyo?

Lugi sir e kung benta na namin ngayon. Expire na warranty nya so sana ala na lumabas na sira.

[oldblue]

our family has owned Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Chevy, Suzuki, Ford, Mazda and last but not least Hyundai brands.

oks lang dre basta be on the lookout sa CASA. my dad since the 90's hilig magexperimento sa bago brands. natuwa sya sa Honda nun bago pa so yun parati binili nya nun 90's. now we're doing the same practice again with Hyundai, so fars ok na ok naman. 1 yr anniv na ng Sta Fe this August.

basta ang pinakaayaw namin eh Chevy saka Suzuki more particularly Philhino.

Akala ko wala na lalabas na sira. For the 4th or 5th time the main fan relay got busted again. I now agree w/ the Hyundai tech to convert the system. Parang Sarao experience ito ah. Isipin ninyo we got it Brand New tapos ngayon kailangan ng conversion kasi nde nila ma detect ang problema.

[3raserheads]

what can I say... Its the only company feared by toyota.

[oldblue]

i believe so too.

Have owned Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, GM, Ford, Hyundai vehicles before. Our Hyundai experience is better, if not the best from amongst this list.....

My Starex is still with me since 2000 (7 and a half years of ownership) and never had any big problem aside from regular maintenance. The only major part that I replaced is the evaporator costing me around 6K pesos. Other than that, it's much easier to maintain.

Comparing it with other vehicles that I own, it's one of the least expensive car to maintain after my 1995 Honda Civic ESi and much(10x) cheaper to maintain than our Toyota Corolla. Please take note that all vehicles were purchased brand new from their respective dealer with the exception of the Starex (non-casa).

CRDI Malakas pero matipid an diesel engine.

Kung may budget lang ako, Starex CRDI ang kukunin ko kung pagpamilya.
