our first hyundai was the first gen starex, we bought it at some grey market dealer (cant remember kung standout). we used it for 7 plus years and logged in almost 100K KMS but it did not give as any headache and no major problem with it.

our 2nd unit from hyundai is the 2nd gen SF, its 1 1/2 year old as of now and almost 29K in its odometer. still running like brand new. no complaints as of now.

our 3rd hyundai is the grand starex, 6 months old only and ran about 13K. like the first gen, we're happy with our purchased.

all these cars were used in provincial and long drives.


with our experience, we are convinced that korean cars is getting better and better and becoming more reliable like those japanese brands.

Our only Hyundai is the 2nd gen Santa Fe. Quite a boring life really. Mostly I use to go to work, going to the malls, dine out with friends and family. Never even stepped out the boundaries of Metro Manila. Probably pinaka-exciting thing nangyari sa SF namin is yung kakabili pa lang umilaw na yung low fuel indicator. Mga mokong yung taga Hyunda QA ibibigay nila yung kotse sa customer halos 4 liters na lang natitira... So I had to hope aabot ako sa gasolinahan eh ang trapik pa naman sa Quezon Ave. during 1pm time. When I reached the gas station I had to load up 71L++ meaning 3++L nalang natira... Currently doing 1055km since Novermber 11, 2008. See I told you my Santa Fe is probably the most boring one.

We've had two Starex vans (12 and 9-seater) and two Getz. Sold the 12-seater Starex and one of the Getz last 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Maganda naman experience namin with all of them. May mga minor issues lang like yung Getz sobra talagang underpowered yung 1100cc model. Yun namang Starex, though maganda laro ng suspension, medyo makalampag. Other than that, they're absolutely trouble free.

We plan to keep our Hyundai's for at least a couple more years. We also have three Honda's to keep them company.

This is my first non Japanese car yet and I never had a second thought or regret buying this car after a year of agony and dilemma choosing between SF and MS, I decided to take SF and set aside MS. Thanks to LR for helping us with Marlyn in E. Rod. She's so accommodating with my wife's calls and SMS up to now

No offense with our brothers here but I intend to use SF mostly in city driving and the ride comfort is my concern then the FC.

Nakarating sa bahay ang unit ko during my sons birthday, sabi ng visitor grabe daw ako mag regalo. Nope! nagkataon lang. My unit travel a lot hindi ko pa man nagagamit. My first upgrade is the car plate glass cover, grabe pawis inabot ko walang provision sa front and back! Nag butas pa ako using Cordless drill para lang ma-install ang plate sa harap while sa likod naman walang counter nut sa loob Second upgrade ko ay rear mud guard.

I chose 4x4 because I travel a lot. At least may weapon ako to any kind of road condition. First trip namin ang ikutin ang buong Panay and we succeeded. My wife and I want to go Luzon this coming summer maybe up to Ilocos as she want to visit her Aunt and cousins.

To be continued...

Ours is a first Gen starex.

theres no week na walang bagong sira sa engine.

pero i beleive that the grand starex is ok na ang qualiy. twice na namin binyahe yung GS ng uncle ko to bohol via land trip (dinaan pa ng samar) and its way to efficient and reliable.
