2010 Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc., the Philippines’ fourth largest car distributor in terms of sales, has released the refreshed and upgraded Hyundai Santa Fe in the local market.

The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, a midsize crossover sport-utility vehicle, gets a much-needed facelift, evident with its more aggressive front fascia thanks to the chrome-lined, three-slatted body-colored radiator grille and the new front fog lamp housings in the new front bumper.

Out back, the predominantly red taillights have been replaced by a red-and-white affair while the muffler tips are now angular, replacing the old oval pair. Also new are the rear bumpers, the five-spoke split alloy wheels and the streamlined roof rail.

Four-wheel-drive variants of the Hyundai Santa Fe also get supple all-black leather seats, dual zone full-auto airconditioning system with a new ionizer to help eliminate bad odors in the cabin.

But to most Filipinos, it’ll be memorialized as the day when what seem to be 6 hours of heavy rainfall caused massive hysteria, national alert, and in worst cases, preposterous death.

Even members of our own group experienced the beating. Here are some pictures of affected Santa Fe.

Days after Ondoy’s wrath, some residents especially those in NCR and nearby provinces, were left homeless and in tribulation.

Being concerned citizens who were auspicious enough not to experience the same level of incredulous and unbearable fate, SFCP extended efforts in aid of our fellow countrymen.

Our little online community solicited help from its members to provide basic necessities and donated items that could be of importance.

We know that we can’t bring back what has been lost but we are hoping that in our own little way, we are able to help the victims in these unfathomable circumstances.

Careful selection has been made based on the members skill and dedication.

So it has been decided that:

Club President: Anna D.M. aka “LadyRider”
Club Vice President: Allan T. aka “Sylar”
Club Secretary/Treasurer: Sherwin G. aka “Tidus1203″

If you do have any comments, suggestion, or violent reactions please PM me ASAP.

Thank you for your understanding.

More power to the Hyundai Santa Fe Club Philippines!

For those who will go on a long trip (hopefully with a Santa Fe) here are some tips…

1. Check your engine oil levels.  Make sure they are adequate for the trip ahead.  Also check the other fluids like engine coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid if they are adequate for the trip ahead.  Also make sure your tire pressure is correct (30 psi for our Santa Fe) before leaving for the trip.

2. If your car is near a PMS schedule you might want to do it ahead of time.  A car is much more fun to drive on a long trip right after a refreshing maintenance.

3. Bring lots of water during the trip to keep yourself cool and hydrated.  Our Santa Fe has a coolbox, finally we can use it!

4. Make sure your cellphone is fully charge.  Bring extra batteries just in case and make sure you have the important numbers in your phonebook like emergency towing and Motolite :D

5. Bring lots of tunes.  If you have the newer Santa Fe (post August 2008 model) make sure you stuff your iPod with a lot of songs.  Its a long trip!

6. If you bring kids with you, make sure their PSP or Nintendo DS is fully charged so they won’t bother you during the trip.

7. Make sure you have prepared the cash needed to pay for the toll fees along the way.  If possible prepare for exact amounts to avoid the possible hassle of the booth not having change.

8. Bring a map.  Its always good to be prepared for the unexpected.

9. Bring a first aid kit!   Again its always good to be prepared.

10.  Most important of all.  ENJOY!  Don’t let the other drivers get into you.  Stay cool and just relax.  Make it your holiday and not someone else’s…

And oh, don’t forget to post your adventures in the forums.  Our fellow Santa Feyers would surely love to hear your story!  Stay safe!
