2012 Starex TCI Variant

[yapoy86]

Parang ganyan yata sa most Hyundai units?

Sa Tucson, pangit din busina. Pati yung sa Elantra. Haha.

kasi sa ibang bansa halos hindi nagagamit yan HORN.. dito lang sa pinas

^Sinabi saken ng SA ko dati, it has something to do with Sound Pollution laws in Korea.

Not sure kung totoo.

Well, there might be some truth to that since all Hyundai units have very meek horns.

[niky]

Korean law ba? Always thought it was European law. All Korean cars have horns that sound like that, since Korean production comes from global facilities. ASEAN produced vehicles don't have this problem.

Anyway, a trip to an auto shop is an easy cure for this...

*sir niky

Could very well be European law. Not sure. SA lang nagsabi niya saken eh hehe.

Thanks guys. Was able to include the Horn upgrade as freebies.

I hope the TCI users could fill me in on the other concerns/questions I posted based on their experience.

Thanks.

Good day sir ACMC, were you able to get some discount?

3. The resale value will naturally be lower, because the base price is lower. But what really kills the deal for me is the lack of ABS+EBD and the Airbag. Better to have it and not need it, rather than the reverse (lalo sa highway drives).

Bro,- ours is TCi A/T and it has an airbag (driver's side)....I understand it has ABS(+EBD), too(?)....

1. TCI being under powered - I have been hearing and seeing that the TCI variant is under powered at full load (people and baggage) especially going up to Baguio (Kennon) and even certain places in Tagaytay and even overtaking. Bitin daw ang power. I don't mind if it isn't a powerhouse but am concerned that I might have a hard time going up and overtaking. I just want to get up Baguio with no hassle of feeling "bitin" going up steep inclines and be able to overtake with some reserve power when needed on the hiways. Any of you guys have any experience on this? How good/bad and reliable is this engine?

I've seen TCI variants traveling at northern alps (Aritao to Baguio via Kayapa) with no problem. AFAIK northern alps is the steepest road in Luzon.
