    This car will be in trouble with the New Elantra/Civic/Focus arriving also. Combined MPG(US) is not class leading anymore.

    Car below is for North American markets. Not sure about Asean/Chinese markets yet, but it will probably follow suit.

    Ngayon nga walang bumibili eh, pano pa pag lumabas yung mga bago.

    Sirang sira na Nissan dito. Only the Navara sells well. Oh, and the 30 year old Urvan.

    Agree.

    ranting...

    1. Corolla even though the 2017 will be all new. Ito pinaka exciting. though its 18 months away.

    Current Corolla has EPA Combined mpg of 32, realworld tests does over 35MPG

    with the Mazda Skyactiv and CVT im guessing they will achieve 38-40MPG by 2017?

    2. Civic looks promising 35MPG combined, EPA rating

    3. Mazda3 not sure how this ranks but 31MPG is really achievable in the USA

    4. Elantra looks good with the 1.4Turbo with EPA rating 35mpg combined.

    5. Nissan Sylphy? maybe 35MPG for the new one?

    Will they also update the sylphy here? Sayang kakabili ko lang ng 2015 sylphy last september after checking out all other similar compact cars.

    Buyer's market talaga. Daming choices. Get whatever you like. Good for the consumer.

    I wonder nga bakit di mabenta sylphy dito when in fact ang lakas niya sa China.

    They have a factory in china hence the buyers are supported quite extensively. 5yr warranty with cheap maintenance siguro.

    Di rin pala patriotic ang mga Chinese sa own brands nila on the sedan category atleast.

    Geely Emgrand 7 na highest which ranked 14th for September and 21st for the year.

    NMPI will probably bring in the Sylphy 1.6 DIG-Turbo (190hp). This engine can be tuned to at least 225hp without mods.

    Kind of happy that Sylphy isn't that common. It makes the owners safer from theft and car-targetting criminals since the market for stolen parts is almost nil. LOL.

    New one looks nice. Same shell though. Updated lang headlamps (I wonder how those are better than my Xenon projectors). Taillamps. Same interior though except for the steering wheel which looks like it was taken off the 370z.

    Made in the Phils ba Sylphy? May nakakarating ba ng China?
    If not, aling models lang ba ang ginagawa dito sa Pinas?

    Alam ko Urvan lang ginagawa dito. Sylphys are from Thailand. Altimas are from US. Alam ko some models are from Japan.

    Hahaha. Loko ka talaga OB.

    I just say Sentra. since a lot of people locally do not know what a Sylphy is (since di naman talaga popular sa atin ang mythology lalo na sa mga uneducated). Sylphy means a slender young girl or beings that live in the air.

    Ewan, basta I just say Sentra. hehe.

    Ayaw ko na sa Hyundai, makalampag e. Ito after a year and a half, wala pa rin kalampag. Sa SF nun na nabili natin, wala pa six months kalampag na (4 mos, nasira AC, palit Compressor). Ewan ko lang yung mga latest gen. Sana hindi na. Saving grace lang talaga ng SF2 na yan ang bilis nya. Titanium Blue din sayo diba? Have you considered a change of color?

    Buong-buo pa SF titanium blue ko. Wala pang major sira, 43TKm pa lang natakbo since I alternate 4 SUvs a weekl now,

    Ang problema ko sa sf electronics, well not really electronics but yun mga small motors like yun sa mga actuators, and nowairbag sign lit up. Nadale na din ako magpalit ng ECU when I used motolite battery. Yun pala hindi hinigpitan ng husto ng installer, ayun fried ECU, tirik ako. 85k bill.

    Bad trip ang electrical design ng Hyundai, walang protection sa large voltage from battery pag maluwag. Di tulad ng ibang cars, alternatoe muna bago ECu.

    Alternator mura lang pa-rewind. Pero ECU grabe, para ka na din naomdoy

    -----

    I love the color of Titanium blue. Ngaun since hindi na sya common color, my SF looks different.

    Since matagal na rin yan, try having it clayed and detailed, tapos pa-seal mo ng Klasse/Carlack sa Bigberts. It will look new ulit. Kahit yung Explorer mo.

    It will also save you money in the long run since tatagal ang paint lalo.

    Mga 1k lang yun. You can do it yourself pero nakakapagod. haha.

    Over voltage because of loose connection? If the battery connector was loose, you wouldn't be able to start your vehicle.

    While this segment is competitive, it aint profitable no more, and dwindling car sales and increasing SUV, mini suv sales is the proof of that.

    at the TOTL versions licking in at 1.1M and 1.2M sometimes its no brainer to buy SUV's or buy a level below tthe slot, hence the astronimical sales of the VIOS, with I think a year to date of 24,000 units(?). heck even Mitsubishi's 1.2 G4Mirage is battling it out with the Honda city, buts thats another story.

    The only way the Sylphy to get going is NML PH to do a blitz like HARI did in its early years.... undercut the rivals in pricing and kit it nicely.

    Yes the ancient Urvan Escapade was indeed assembled locally.

    AFAIK, the new Urvan Nv350 is imported from Japan or somewhere.

    Yes plan ko mga yan pag may time. I'm gonna have it buffed and restore oringinal the titanium blue paint. My SF still looks good now coz I rarely use it even after 9 years

    Sa explorer pa-repaint ko wet black always wanted a FBI car with chrome sidings and rims, tipong Lincoln Navigator

    I like old SUVs d ko alam kumbakit. Lagi ko nga ako download ng 80s Pajero and LR Defender. I'm bored with new SUVs of today, parang pare-pareho Lang . Except for the Juke which I saw in person sa LA and Tokyo, so different. And the new Vitara - gandang ganda ako

    Parang mini Range Rover
