nuong kumuha ako ng defensive driving training... ang speed na 60 kph at wet asphalt road, ang hard braking distance ay more than 30 meters (hanggang gumana ang abs nya). altis 1.8 a/t ang test unit namin. kung mas mabigat ang load ay mas lumalayo ang braking distance.
para sa akin, parang mas malakas ang brake ng sportage kesa tucson![]()
parehas na 2wd ang aking comparison kasi ito pa lang ang nasubukan ko
Sulit yung 100k extra. It would be very hard to get them aftermarket. Then again the use of some of the features may not be done often but nice to have. The steering wheel heater I use specially pag malamig at maulan it helps. The cooling seats very useful specially on those hot days. Rear window shades useful, my folks uses them. The 220v inverter is also useful at least you don't have to lug around a pig tail unit. The Actune 10-speaker sounds great, my folks are also impressed as it comes stock. you can invest a new sound setup, but that definitely would cost more. It all boils down to your preference really. If you do not mind having all these then go for the local Hari unit. Another advantage is the KDM is euro v, although we are not clean diesel yet, we will get there.. I feel the PH market is very competitive and more likely they would bring in better diesel.
Kahit KDM or PHDM, maganda ang SF ngayon.. Pricing lang talaga ang sablay... Sana lang yung KDM, english ang info cluster nya, ok na sana ako.. hehehe... Congrats sa mga nakakuha ng 2013 SF...
Sana nga maglabas sila or ma-approve na yung law na magbibigay ng same priviledge sa tax similar ng jpepa.. 20% din daw yun.... Pero in fairness, kahit 1.8M, dami pa din bumibili.. ubos ang stock ng SF..
Yan naman style ng Korean car dealers, offer the top of the line variants first since d pa ubos ang exisitng inventory ng 2nd gen.
Parang iPhone 5, those who bought the 50K + units, subjected to any tech bugs ng apple.
If I recall, those who jumped the bandwagon too soon sa release ng Hyundai Tucson, dibs puros problema sa dirty fuel and yun shocks bs yun. And need I mention the 1.4 accent knocking.

So ganyan lang yan Sta 3rd gen, yun mahal saka first prototypes muna. They cannot afford to offer it at only 1.8M, uubusan sila ng market share ng Montero and Fortuner.
Im sure they'll even release a MT SF gasoline version maybe 1-2 years from now, tapos mga 1.2M lang pero barebones yun ha

I think you are not getting the point Popcorn. Although we have a matter of opinion, but I think you should be a bit more careful when you do post yours. All consumers are aware of that. It is a matter of preference. No one, wants to be a test bed more so coined guinea pig. "Kanya kanyang trip yan eh, wag mong basagin." I need to correct you when you say prototypes, that is conditional and prior market sale. More so, as the years pass by there is a probability to have a certain product reduce in price depending on trim also sales volume, in fact those are only a few variables I have mentioned. I cannot agree with you to say that the price will drop, that is uncertain as forecast may change. Put into perspective experience and age, it is either you improve or regress. Currently, Hyundai has great design, trim option which consumers feel value for money that is why there is good sales even in the US which is a good sign. We all hope for better products, this is why we hope to see and experience through time. In my opinion, I cannot agree with you that you are sure as you have no control over these; your wild guess may be a probability and uncertain. We have gone through lots of Japanese cars and even American. In the end, it really is based on what the current preference and value could matter in a purchase. This time, the 2013 Santa Fe wins in our purchase decision.
Saw one at our village a white 2013 SF with hyundai e. rod (i pressume it came from wheels) temporary plate on it. Whats the difference between the grey market and the one from HARI?
Sorry, been really busy with business stuffs, i havent had time to update myself with the automotive news lately
tama. kulang sa pansin kasi si OB. kaya hilig mag post ng mga alangain. ayaw din nya ng malaking sasakyan kasi fit daw sya. ang mga malalaking sasakyan daw ay para sa mga unfit na tao lang. wala naman yan sasabihin na matino. bawat forum ay kelangan merong isang member na tulad nya. hindi maiiwasan yan.
