Where is the vent for the second row? Sa console near the floor? Kasi sa pics eh its definitely not on the ceiling nor ony of the pillars

yung sa dating orig 5&7 seater nasa B-Pillar sya same as the Santa Fe's.... pero walang pictures 'to ng B-Pillar...
kaya can't say for sure...

Grabe naman! Ang ganda ng competensya ngayon sa sports utility vehicle.

Mapapaisip ako sa sorento dahil meron na gas variant. Ayoko talaga ng diesel kahit bmw or porsche pa. Naalala ko lang ang fejodap at sii claire dela fuente.

Ang honda philippine matigas pa din ang ti-nga?.....Wala pa ba changes sa pricing. Mapapanis ang jazz, civic at crv nyo nyan.

Here's the spec sheet for the 2.0 btw.

Because suvs are versatile. Sabi nga nila, mall to maul. No changeover needed. I can use it to go to the clinic without worrying so much about floods or bad roads. Then I can be towing a disabled vehicle to help clear the road during rush hour. At night, I can use it to respond to incidents with lights and sirens and all my fire/rescue/medical gear on board. Recently I used it to respond to a 2 tire blow out on the slex and to tow my father's full sized vehicle home after it stalled. I just need one key, no need to transfer my gear, just get in and go. And during more formal functions, people dont seem to mind the ax and shovel on the roof.

We tried a Jazz once. After 2 years we were more than happy to see it go. About the only memorable thing it did was save gas. And scrape its underbelly on almost anything on the road. Hehe. I nearly ripped the bumper off twice just in normal driving. And tore the sidewall of the tire at Teriyaki Boy Banawe. And I dont think I can tow the MB100 home or the Hiace back to the office in a Jazz.

I have nothing against, small, economical cars but sometimes their lack of versatility for the tasks and road conditions I encounter makes suv's - even a 4x2 model, a more sensible choice.

Thanks Starex... I didn't realize, I fell into the trap ;-)

[eido]

may plano kaya mag labas ng base sportage a/t?

[malcoxx]

The attractive prices seems to be catching alot of attention. I prefer small cars. However I also love cars/suvs that have excellent ground clearance and can be flexible during floods. Hope the prices becomes a trend as I dont mind a bare car as long as the engine and ground clearance is there.

[pop3corn]

parang getting a M/T suv right now is a bad idea kse bababa ang prices ng fuel to P30+ and P40+ respectively. that'll mean more saturation sa roads natin coz of affordable fuel.

so what will be your scenario now, driving a bigger car na hindi man lang maka-move ng greater ng 50kph. the reason why I got so interested with accent M/T is bec. nagmamahal ang fuel last summer. going back to M/T will be walk in the park coz lagi luwag kalsada.

pero ngaun hindi eh kasi nga no choice ang mundo kungdi mag-lower ng fuel coz China's growth slowed down. the demand for crude hindi na lalaki and therefore, ibebenta na ng pamura ng mga Arabo. and also looks like China wants to be self-sufficient in oil also kaya nga nagkakaroon ng mga territorial disputes eh

and so getting an M/T is just in tune to the signs of the times. naawa tuloy ako dun sa mga bumili ng non-vgt Montero M/T, malamang mahihirapan sila ngaun mag-drive around the metro. it's like bringing a Samsung Galaxy Note to a travel tour, it's big and it's maganda naman (like the Montero), pero pag mabilisan kasi ang kilos, the size of the iphone is better.

and so therefore, maraming bibili ng mga murang M/T suvs na ito, makakatipid nga sa initial investment sa cars, pero lalakas ang consumption sa food coz of stressful driving. at pag malakas ang consumption sa food, mas malaki ang chances magkarun ng diseases sa old age, and therefore, kailangan mas magastos ang retirement fund to be ready for hospitalization sa old age.

Hirap intindihin sir SG hehe

eto i one by one ko na ngaun

1. bibile ka ng M/T Sorento or Sportage kasi isip mo malaki tipid mo

2. then bababa na ang presyo ng gasolina kasi may oversupply na sa buong mundo

3. pag bumaba na ng gasolina, sisikip kalye natin kasi kahit mga luma cars makaka-afford na lumabas

4. pag lagi sobra traffic sa'tin, driving M/T will be very very stressful, kasi shift ka ng shift sa stop and go

5. and so sa sobrang traffic at stress kaka-drive ng M/T, pag-uwi mo baka kulangin ang tatlong gatang ng bigas sa isang dinner

6. tapos pag M/T driving papunta sa concerts, malls, and other leisure stuff, traffic din, so orderin sa dine out yun pinakamalasa pagkain na syempre expensive and also harmful to health

7. do this the entire duration of your owning a M/T Sportage / Sorrento / Montero, nakatipid ka nga sa initial purchase, pero malamang lumba-lumba ka

8. pag lumba-lumba ka na, prone ka na sa sakit as well as mabagal ka kumilos hence innefficient sa work. pag inefficient hindi ka na makaka-compete sa mga kabataan na healthy and fit body. and so you resort to crab mentality, mental sabotage, scheming and all the negative stuff that older people has to do in order to compete

9. tapos makikita mo kahit anong scheme hindi nag-wowork kasi parasite na katawan mo eh, gusto lagi masasarap, pasarap

10. then mapapansin mo na lang kung if you only need 1M for retirement, kelangan 10M up na kasi dala-dala mo yun mga fusion food, ice cream, starbucks etc. sa katawan mo hanggang pagtanda mo kasi magastos magkasakit

and all this bec. akala mo nakatipid ka sa P988 kia sportage
