2. A 2.5L engine would be welcome.

3. Freakin local model doesn't have cruise control.

4. Stock rims aren't 18, only 17". It's just nice that the spare is same as the other 4 making it a set of 5.

5. No sidemirror signal lights. High beam should've been projector too like the ones in Touaregs.

6. No sunroof. No Spoiler. No rear foglight.

7. and so on. hehe.

wishfull thinking

baka 1.8-2.0M na yan.

Top Gear Phil magazine April2007 issue review/comparison of sub-compact SUVs and the result is as follows:

1. 2.2 CRDI Santa Fe - "the most handsome, nothing comes quite close in terms of specs, ride and value for bucks"- reviewer

2. Sorento
3. 2.5 D4D Fortuner
4. Alterra

too bad the new Ford Everest was'nt included.

Nice ride! Anong brand ang step board mo? Did you get it from casa?

I haven't done any mods on my Santa Fe yet. I don't know where to start.

wow! Nice Rims!!!

honestly though, I never go to car wash sites hehehe. Unless it something reputable like bigberts etc. I dunno... maybe natatakot ako sa blend ng shampoo, their old rags and wash mitts might add more swirls hehehe.

Centum: same everything, 4x4 lang yung nadagdag. Akala ko nga may cruise control na or sunroof e.

wanderer:

Ok ah, pwede pala 20" rims sa SF? di po ba sumasayad for example pag nalubak? May binago po kayo sa shocks?

**O!lman** · April 25th, 2007 12:10 PM

OK na rin ang 4X2 kung 100k ang difference. Ok sana kung nilagyan nila ng SRS Airbag yung passenger side...
satisfy na ko sa SF ko!

walang sayad... half of an inch lang nakuha from both sides sa clearance ng wheel well compared sa stock rims and tires. the stock tires turned out to be more tagtag than my new low profile tires. it now runs smoother and less noise.
