Extra bonus na walang pila every time mag-PMS ako unlike sa Toyota usually may pila.

We're interested in the new Tucson. I haven't seen it in person yet, pero maganda reviews niya and it's quite a looker even in pictures and video. And it's the same R engine from before that makes 185 HP and 400 NM. Excellent engine. Pero kamusta naman maintenance ng Hyundai ngayon? Have they improved, especially pricing? I had an i10 5 years ago and its PMS cost was consistently more than our Altis! Tapos maarte pa sila sa maintenance schedule. Pucha, yung Soul ko nga naka 19" rims na which is outside of OEM spec (largest OEM is 18") and during my most recent PMS the service manager said it was totally fine. Walang angal.

I checked out the new tucson recently (saw the crdi unit) and i must say it looks so much improved compared to the 2nd gen model (used to own a 2010 tucson gl). I feel though that features could be better (not even a touch screen HU).

as for the maintenance cost, i think you can also try to bring it down when you bring your car in for service. the casas tend to include items that aren't really required (engine flushing, anti perforation, etc.) that drive the cost up. you can opt to remove the unnecessary items. yun lang, it's still not cheap even after, but bearable naman.

comparing to kia, i must say after sales of kia is much better. still own a hyundai (sonata) and a kia (sorento) now and i feel that the kia is somehow better built. happy with both cars but i think break muna ako from koreans if i decide to change. hehe

I haven't seen even one in MM roads since this model was launched. Bakit kaya?

I was the 1st to get a 2016 Tucson crdi in Pasong Tamo, almost didnt get the unit from them (I didnt get in house financing and insurance), they wanted more money from me even after we already closed in terms and condition. Overall im satisfied with the Tucson, torque is amost like driving a 2.0 liter car, maybe even better, ride is just ok, interior is above average, overall driving experience is above average too.
