[joarcht]

medyo nakalog na naman utak ko kasi tong pinsan ko inintroduce ulit yung Ford Everest na 4x4 at 4x2 07..anyway nagdesisyon na ako na SF na..medyo bulky kasi yung FE...at malamang mas maganda at mas comfortable SF.
any suggestions to make up my mind to 101%?

i think its price at 1.580million for the 2.7L V6 a/t.

arggghhh I hate the "wood" trim, well its just me but overall Interior looks good.

[oldblue]

ok sya sa pics pero pag in person, para may kulang. tama ka *mazdamazda, parang pinataas lang na elantra ang itsura nito. mas pogi pa din ang fortuner.

mas ok pa tucson.

Maganda naman pala lay-out ng dashboard... I see it even has some controls mounted on the steering wheel. I've seen a website where the gate shift has a Tiptronic type shifting (like in the Ford Focus). But, I do hate that wood trim.

Looks to be a worthy contender against the Fortuner, if you ask me. If the price is below P1.5M and they retain all the existing amenities, as displayed, the unscrupulous Toyota Dealers may be in for a run for their money...

This may be sacrilege, but the Santa Fe, at least IMHO is a much much better value than the fortuner. Specs pa lang, with the V6 panalo na. Interior trim is better, yung sheetmetal looks ***ier (IMO).

But the fortuner is a toyota hehe. But heck, korean cars are improving day by day.

Take the Hyundai Coupe. Put toyota badges on that and see the sales charts fly!

I understand what you mean... I own a Fortuner, but I find the new Santa Fe really nice.

Really nice, I like it!!!

I drive a Tucson and though I'm very happy with it, I wouldn't have second thoughts in getting this one. Well, that's only if I can afford it hehe. Matignan nga sa dealer ko, tingin lang

[mbt]

ganda nga! this one really surprised me at the manila motorshow.

medyo walang kalaban itong santa fe sa market ngayon. the fortuner is effectively a competitor, but it's a truck and this one's a car. halos murano na ata yung closest technical competitor nitong santa fe.

who would've thought of a 1.6-M hyundai hehe... pero reasonable na rin yung price for the package. ang mamahal na talaga ng sasakyan ngayon. talo ka lang sa resale with this hyundai

I guess, when you buy a Santa Fe, you should consider it a keeper...

Imo, even if it were keeper, a time will also come when the owner will have to upgrade or change to a newer model and the issue regarding the resale value will still coming biting back at the owner.

Has Hyundai's value improved? How's the resale value of the new Starex models?

Hyundai's quality has improved tremendously as evidenced by my test drive of the Tucson, but unfortunately, its resale value is still down there. I think the people buying the second-hand Hyundais wouldl need to experience a paradigm-shift before the market can start seeing good price on pre-owned Hyundais.

My friend said his Starex (used for 1.5 years only) was sold for a low price (He didnt mention how much, though but he seem a bit disappointed).

If kaya mo naman Starex I am sure kaya mo Santa Fe. Much easier to drive. And yeah a lot of good deals on the Santa Fe right now.
