[CVT]

Nice bro. Pwede na ulit isabak sa byahe!

Yup bro.IMm29, I drove the GS for more than 250Km over the weekend....

Ayos, lapat na lapat na ang front brake pads,- liha lang at todong preno ang katapat... :hysterical:

mga sir, hindi ba kayo nanibago nung GS na sasakyan niyo? Hindi ba nakakapanibago i-drive?

Tuwing hinihiram ko yung GS CVX ng friend ko, di ako nahihirapan dalahin yung GS. Sa totoo lang mas gusto ko talaga dalahin ang GS kesa Tucson. Haha! Very comfortable talaga ang GS tsaka hindi naman mahirap tanchahin kahit ganun kalaki. Yung steering kasi parang sedan lang eh. Panalo rin yung turning radius

Nasa skills na rin siguro ng driver

[CVT]

Sa akin, walang pagkakaibang dalhin (sa pakiramdam) ang GS vs. sa maliit naming 09City o iyong dati naming (mas maliit na) 04Jazz. Mas matangkad ka kaya you have better command/feel of the road... Lalayo naman ang ibang sasakyan dahil malaki ka nga,- huwag mo nga lang talaga silang gigipitin....With those advantages, mas gusto ko siyang dalhin pa rin vs. an SUV or the Innova....

Pero, wifey was comfortable driving our (then) old Gen3,- but not the GS.... Nalalakihan siya, but I guess that is psychological...

sa umpisa lang nakakapanibago kasi mas malapad kesa sa iba, pero after masanay ka na ok naman na. nuon takot pa ko makigitgitan (syempre bago hehe) pero ngayon saksak lang ng saksak. si misis din medyo takot nuon pero ngayon kung makigitgitan sa mga dyip kala mo lumang auv ang dala e. sa unang drive lang talaga need mo remember na mas malapad siya kesa grx.

Hehe, salamat sa mga nag reply
Siguro hindi naman ako ganun na maninibago Revo naman daily ride ko dito sa PH, tapos sa OZ naman yung Nissan na SUV, i forgot the model, old model na kasi.
Hehe, mukhang exciting ang pgddrive ng GS ah

[IMm29]

The GS is indeed bigger than the gen3 it replaces. I checked its dimensions prior to its arrival, and realized that it's just like my old gen1 exped.

In reality, though it's big, it really a lot more drivable than an exped.

[IMm29]

Came from my suking talyer to have the GS checked prior to our drive this weekend. It's just to Bataan, but i just wanted a once over, since this time, my kids will be with us. GS is up to 8,312 kms only, so too soon if i bring it for servicing at a HARI dealer.

Everything's A-OK, except for the brakes. To my disbelief, he goes, "Sir, mukhang malapit nang palitan yung brake pads niyo sa harap." Uy! Teka muna. "Pero aabot pa naman ng mga 3 months," is what he adds.

How "hungry" are your brake pads? I thought CVT's 15tkms was par for the course, but 8-10t kms? Is it really this bad?

Totoo ba ito? ganito ba kabilis maupod ang brake pads ng GS? or depende talaga sa driving style ng driver? masakit sa bulsa to kung ganito...

Ganun din amin sir. <10T KMS.

I think the more highway drives you do, the "longer" your brake pads will last.

Everytime you stop ata (especially often in the city) puts tremendous amounts of stress on the brakes due to the heft of the GS. Looks like the downside of getting a big, spacious vehicle.

[yebo]

our GS has 16T+ km already. last 15T km pms at hyundai balintawak sabi nila makapal pa but when i checked it before the service the friction pads were approximately 3/8" na lang so i thought palitin na din. e sabi ng hyundai balintawak aabot pa daw ng 20Tkm service.

i don't brake much, lagi coast to stop especially pag kita ko naman na yellow light na or i will need to stop e angat na paa sa accelerator kaya konting brake na lang pag need na mag-stop.

Bro IMm29: Bro I saw your Starex kanina sa Buendia

It is actually around 4 inches wider and about a foot longer than the Gen3.... (Malaking bagay ang 4 inches dahil may dinaraanan kami sa Don Galo, Paranaque na kalye na ang puwede mo lang kasalubong ay tricycle... Iyong Gen3 namin walang kimi-kiming lumulusot ako,- pero itong GS,- hindi na ako nag-attempt idaan ito sa kalye na iyon... - At wala akong nakikitang GS na dumaraan doon... )

okay friday na bukas.
Haha.
Makukuha ko na si GS

[jaggerx3]

Mga sir, nakakapag taka lang.
Bakit po mas mahal yung 11-seater kaysa sa 12-seater na starex sa Hancars? :D

[jdee12]

Mga brod. matanong ulit, saan maganda magpa 1k PMS? 608kms na natakbo ng GS ko.

Ka-partner ng Hancars ang Hyundai Global City Hub, so doon mo na lang dalhin GS mo since mas malapit ka doon.

magkano ba normally inaabot ng PMS?hehehe

[Starex_Gold]

Pulpol ang Hyundai Global City Hub sa totoo lang. Mas okay nang dayuhin pa ang Hyundai Q. Ave.

Mas maganda nga lang yung LED tail light ng Grand Starex ni Pitstop ngayon. Haha!

Because the 11-seater GS has more features than the 12-seater GS. The basic variant of the KDM Grand Starex is CVX Luxury, which is the 12 seater being sold by Hancars. Then the mid range variant would be the CVX Premium, which is 11 seater and has auto climate control, with or w/o dual sunroof. The top of the line KDM Grand Starex is the HVX Premium, also an 11 seater. This time it has all the features of the CVX Premium, just add original leather seats, multifunction info display (integrated sa odometer and trip meter), rear wiper, and Electronic Stability Program.
