Finally got my black Santa Fe CRDI 4x4 today. Went to the casa to get it around 1:30 and left there around 3:30pm. I tested if the car alarm would work and found that the alarm would activate 1 minute after locking using the remote.

So far, the experience has been great -- the sounds, the ride, and the handling are excellent. Found myself taking longer routes to go my destination so as I can drive longer -- hehe, aksaya sa gas!

Anyways, so far my 'upgrades' are the following: rear sensor (2 sensors), wind visor, mud guard, Bosch horn (sounds like a MB), and Black Chrome tints. Looking forward to getting HID lights and dual monitors attached to the front seats soon..

Going to Subic right after the new year, and I'm tempted to use the Santa Fe for the trip already... Medyo hataw sana sa NLEX, too bad hanggang 80-100kph lang daw ang speed that I can drive my SF at.... Or not? Until when do I need to stay within 80-100?

Thanks and Happy New Year fellow SFers!

Saan banda naka mount bosch horn and what model?

To all SF owners and soon to be owners, Happy New Year to all of you. l also have a Santa Fe which I purchased last September. I would say that overall the car is good but not worth all the praises which a lot of people already here proclaimed. Less than 2 months the headlights and the tailights already developed moisture which we complained to the casa. They said they already filed a warranty claim so that all the lights affected can be replaced with brand new as they themselves admit that there could be manufacturing problems (quality problems). After more than a month of waiting and frequent follow ups with the casa, nothing has been done. The casa insisted that they cannot do the change unless there is an approval from HARI. Now I have some second thoughts about their boastful 5 year warranty. Looks like it still remains to be proven.

The irony is that one of the fog lights (OEM) which also developed moisture and was part of our complaint, went totally dead and the bulb busted on the X-Mas eve. Worse, it happened during a party when I was invited and friends trooped out to see how the SF look in actual. Lo and behold! one light was dead which was a big embarrassment. When I brought it to the casa to followup for the replacement all they could say was that the parts they ordered for the warranty claim has not been approved yet and they don't even have the slightest idea when it would be approved and the parts sent from the main office from Manila. In the end I have to shell out from my own pocket to pay for the busted bulb of the foglamp which they say is not covered by warranty.
BTW, I bought the car in CEBU. So you guys out there who are planning to buy an SF be very careful with your decisions.

I tried to upload the pics here so everyone here can see but it is failing. I'll try my luck next time.

I suggest you send an email to HARI email address, your problem may not be with HARI but with the dealer so its best to go straight to HARI and get an answer from them...
