^2010 super sport adventure diesel. before the 1k PMS 7 km/l lang sya. after the PMS may slight improvement. city driving though, hindi ko pa naibya byahe ng malayuan.

Normal lang yan kung city driving. Minsan ako 7 rin lang kung pure city tapos short trip lang lagi.

[Alpha Cube]

^huwat??? bakit yung adventure super sport diesel ko eh 8 km/liter lang?

Baka masyado mataas shifting points mo.

[wondersuman]

gustuhin ko man mag shift at a higher rpm eh iniisip ko naman yung fuel consumption ko. so it's a choice between hataw o tipid sa fuel. i somehow have learned to accept na i bought the adventure para may sasakyan ako. kung makararating ako sa gusto ko puntahan eh solved na ko. kaya yung vios ko na nabaha maski gusto ko ibenta eh nandito pa rin. at least yun mabilis at maliksi umandar. kaso back to casa si vios at umilaw na naman check engine. hay....sakit sa ulo anyway, i shift at around 2000 or maybe 2500 rpm. sabi ko nga dun sa casa nung nag PMS sya feeling ko sakal na sakal ang andar nya. eh wala rin naman nabago. so suko na ko.

Maki-join po ako sa balitaktakan niyo, sir Yerffe86 & ma'm Wondersuman;
1. Sa concern about the LTO plate, may shortage po ata ng plate. In my case, I settled for a "regional" plate for my GLS Sport; it doesn't start with an "N" but i got it one month after having the advie. Kaso, Since Sept. 2009 to now, wala pa akong LTO sticker. I personally followed it up sa LTO dito sa amin and 3rd week of March pa daw;

2. It wouldn't be fair to compare the 2010 Tucson to the Advie kasi different class sila, Tucson would be like a car as the Advie is a kuliglig. The former's top speed in my experience (with me as passenger) is 170 Kph and the engine isn't straining yet. Driver na lang natakot. My advie has run 140 Kph and it sounded like it'll explode any moment;

3. I've rode and driven several S/AUVs including the 2010 Tucson (my friend's), the 2009 Dmax (my bro's), the 2009 Fortuner (nakisakay). Not comfortable yung tucson at fort pag passenger ka, matagtag, tigas ng seats. Sa Tucson, nakakahilo pag sa likod, and the center passenger sa likod suffers kasi hindi even yung seats, parang comfy lang for 4 people siya. Di rin nare-recline yung seats, hirap pa lumabas at pumasok, naipupunas sa pants yung side body. Sa Dmax, ok lang, though masikip;

4. Medyo partial ako sa Advie kahit admittedly nung umpisa there are times gusto ko hampasin ng latigo while overtaking. I coped up by learning double-clutching tecnique and not expecting too much. He he...besides, why get a car that can run 200 Kph when our roads and traffic allow only for 50-80 kph?

5. The fc of wondersuman seems high. Magasto nga pag 8 km/l. I'm not an expert but i manage 13.6++ km/l average (dito sa province naman kasi. He he..) shifting * 2K rpm;

6. I don't think po na kaya ng Advie ang 17 km/l. Sabagay, marketing lang naman yun ata. BS kumbaga, but most car companies are guilty of making outrageous claims just to sell;

7. By the way, i still believe the Advie is value for money. Pero if i wasn't concerned with budget, I'd have bought either the Montero 4x2 or Alterra 4X2. Sta. Fe is also a decent choice. If you can consider getting the 2010 Tucson, then the monty may merit your consideration.

ang haba naman ng quote, hehe.. but thanks for the reply, at least my nakukuha ko mga ideas. tagal naman ng sticker mo, halos 6 months na advie mo pero wala ka pa sticker, follow up mo lang.. and about the tucson, ngtest drive ako, my napansin din ako na matagtag siya kahit flat yung road at may ingay kaagad sa baba, kahit uneven road lang, napansin ko din na mababa yung seats nya, parang pandak ka tingnan sa loob, how much more pg my passenger ka na bata or pamangkin mo diba. (except for the driver side kasi adjustable naman).
so you manage 13km/l? city driving lang sa province nyo or mixed highway na din? sounds great if thats the case, anyway i have decided na advie na, inisip ko kasi na wala casa ng hyundai dito sa place namin and marami akong nabasang comments na my quirking sounds yung tucson especially sa steering wheel and my isa pa, mahina yung stabilizer joint, minsan nagiingay.. and only 7km/l city, proven yan, ung iba nga 6km/l lang, knowing na 10 pesos price difference nila sa diesel, at least yung mitsubishi my casa dito,. .

[yerffej86]

guyz, i one question for all advie owners, how come walang srs airbag or even abs or ebd yung advie? even the 2010 model, since the 2000 models napansin ko walang airbag or abs. just wondering..

[marcdom88]

so you manage 13km/l? city driving lang sa province nyo or mixed highway na din?

^^ yes sir, though in fairness di masyado matrapik dito sa amin kahit pa sabihing city. Yung '10 Tucson ng friend ko nakaka-11.2 km/l pa nga at A/T pa yun!

IMHO, as long as you don't expect the advie as "fast & the furious" material, value for money siya. Chestnut red maganda nga. Yung silver ko nakaka-boring na. Di nga kita gasgas at dust, di rin naman pansinin kung bagong wax.

[yerffej86]

so ganon talaga katipid advie.. so mas matipid pa rin talaga siya compare sa tucson 2010 and mas cheaper pa diesel kesa gas, siguro pag purely highway kaya pa ata 15km/l, kasi sayo 13km/l city/mixed.. anway kanina my nakita ako na super sports, color grey, ok naman, maganda pero i have 3 choices, black, maroon or red ba yun and the chestnut red for 2010 advie super sports, what do you think maganda sa tatlo? my mga advantage at disadvantage din kasi silang tatlo..

[yerffej86]

marcdom88: try mo click or copy & paste mo link na to, different kinds ng color ng advie, parang iba ang kulay ng chestnut red in person. hehe.. http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/vi.../T+(7-9+seater)

[wondersuman]

yerffej86: tignan mo na lang kung ano ang available sa casa. kasi kami una naming gusto was black. kaso we realized mahirap i-maintain ang black at saka di masyado kita sa gabi, delikado. then we opted for gray. kaso wala daw available kaya we ended up with gothic silver. medyo boring na kulay nga at yung nalunod kong revo eh silver na rin. pero yung revo at least may konting sticker sa tagiliran, may accent man lang hetong adventure talagang walang ka buhay buhay yung kulay na nakuha ko. at sa kadahilanang kailangang kailangan ko ng sasakyan nung mga panahon na yun eh napilitan na ko kunin yung silver.

+1 po. Better check the unit colors po up close kasi iba ang nasa pics lang. I initially wanted the chestnut red (parang maroon) and gray color, pero i ended up choosing silver for sentimental reasons. Choose a color you can bear looking at everyday for the next 4 to 5 years. He he..

Basic old school lang ang brakes ng advie, but i have no complaints so far. I think naman kahit pa hightech ang brake system mo kung di ka maingat ein the first place e wala pa din. As for the airbags, talagang naghanap ako ng walang ganun coz i have eyeglasses. Baka kasi masipa ng malakas ng lasing ang bumper e mabulag pa ako pag nagdeploy ang airbag.

[yerffej86]

pero safety factor din pg my airbag, (just incase). hehe, sabagay nasa driver naman yun kung di nagiingat, pumunta palang ako casa kanina, nextweek pa daw darating ung chestnut red color na super sports, tagal.. hehe.. cant wait. gls sports lang at glx available kasi.. freebies lang nila tint, matting, step board, un lang.. leather seat na kasi ung super sports.

[wondersuman]

^huwat, you're getting a free stepboard??? ako eh tint libre nga kaso hindi 3M kaya nagdagdag pa ko para gawin nilang 3M. tapos matting at payong lang nakuha ko freebie. at yung matting, susko chipipay yung binigay ha. hindi pa ko nakakabili ng pamalit sa matting. baka may alam kayo na magandang matting for the adventure. magkano pala aabutin ng super sport mo?

[p_borj]

yung mga bullbar, stepboard, roofrack at spoiler hindi na ako nagpakabit niyan kasi mas bababa lang ang FC at acceleration mo dahil nagpapabigat lang ang mga iyan.

*wondersuman - kung yung nakuha niyong revo yung diesel type, siguro mas maaapreciate niyo yung takbo nung advie niyo. anyway, old school diesel engines ganyan pa talaga kabagal mam, try driving a CRDI diesel engine kung gusto niyo ng naka-diesel na parang naka-gas variant.

tapos may nabasa ako sa dito na ang Tucson gas variant ay 10km/l sa city driving? SA ba ang nagsabi? Highway driving lang niya maaabot yun sa city nasa 6km/l lang yun.

[RustyXIII]

Malaki talaga difference ang arangkada ng gas sa diesel. Coming from a Civic SiR, talagang nanibago ako. Sanayan lang. Kung konti lang din ang sakay, shift rapidly from 1st to 4th gear. Around 2 seconds per gear lang, upshift na. Kaya naman ng torque e. Mas lalong mabagal ang acceleration kapag binababad sa low gear waiting for your tachometer to reach 3K.

yup, im getting one, original pa from casa and discounted ung HID pgkukuha ako. maganda pag my step board kasi hindi magagasgasan ung side mo pgopen mo ng door, kung walang stepboard dun kasi sila tatapak. (medyo lowered pang tingnan, hehe). ung tint na free sunguard or solarguard ata, parang 3m na din daw. US brand daw sya. hindi ko na papakabitan ng bullbars at roofrack pati spoiler, talagang baba fc mo kasi medyo mabigat yan. 963 total lahat payment ko, all in from 3 yrs LTO, comprehensive insurance with acts of God,etc.
About the tucson, un ung sabi nila 10km/l city pero sabi ng SA 8-10km/l, dont know how true, pero karamihan sabi nila 6km/l lang daw..

[yerffej86]

MAC PEEPS, is it really true na nakakatipid tayo ng gas/diesel pg minsan ilalagay mo sa neutral pagmabilis na? example your driving 80km/h using 5th gear and bigla mong ilagay sa neutral, free wheeling lang ba, nakakatipid ba? then balik 3rd or 4th gear pag medyo mabagal na. may pinsan kasi ako na mechanical engnr, hindi raw maganda ung style na ganyan, may masisira daw sa engine yan, pero so far ganun style ko minsan lalo na pg malayo pako then alam ko na nakaredlight. hehe

mas nakakatipid and wala namang masama doon. anyway, kaya po ginawa ang overdrive (5th gear) para sa highway driving. ito po yung dapat gamitin para makatipid sa fuel habang umaandar around 80kph kung gusto mong makatipid sa fuel instead of ilagay mo pa sa neutral tapos magshi-shift ka rin so aarangkada ka na naman.

yup, 5th gear gamit ko pero sabagay, as what you have said, aarangkada ka na naman. pero minsan ung style ko 80kph then ilagay ko sa neutral then pag 60kph na balik ko pa rin 5th gear, kaya naman ng torque.. siguro mas makakatipid kesa palagi ka nakatapak sa gas. hehe.

[francomigz]

galing naman may libreng stepboard na... just got our 2010 advie supersport, two tone na kulay black at silver gray, ang free ko lang ay tint at matting na manipis. Walang libreng seat cover kasi daw naka-leather namn na yung seats. sa GLS Sport yta me libreng seat cover.

40K ang package ng casa para sa front and rear bullbars, stepboard at roofrack. pero di ako kumuha at parang mahal yata hehehe. kaya eto magcacanvass ng mejo mas mura.

wala ring body stickers yung advie ko, maghahanap pa din ako, san kaya meron maganda dito banda sa south? alabang or cavite area.
