Hindi na masyadong maingay mga bagong Xwind ngayon.
Crosswind - timing gear
Adventure - Timing belt

AFAIK, a timing belt system operates more quietly, is less expensive and is more efficient mechanically due to its lighter weight, as opposed to timing chains and timing gears. The only real issue is durability.

The Adventure's 4D56 powerplant also has the added advantage of belonging to the Astron engine family, which pioneered the use of twin balance shafts (dubbed as the Silent Shaft system) in reducing engine vibration. This system has since been licensed by Fiat/Lancia, Saab and Porsche for use in their respective engines.

Besides, parang pointless ang turbo on something as large as the Crosswind, with its weight, high center of gravity and lack of aerodynamics.

+1 on the SS adventure.

I've owned/driven a 2000 Mitsu SS 2.0G matic which runs on the 4G63a engine. Gas guzzler but you expect that from a high end model, i guess. hehe. Anyway, My only problem during the time of ownership was metal holder of the spare tire that usually and constantly have the "sayad" effect but was later fixed. I use off road tires so my ride wasn't that bumpy and stiff. Other than that, no problems. I think the best looking Adventure series was with the swing type rear door against the hatch type with the crv-like pillars. You'll be getting better fuel economy with the Diesel intercooler turbo SS. Adventage IMO, is that original replacement mitsu parts, although expensive are bang for the buck. I had an overheating problem and I managed to still run it on maximum temp over the H limit line (as in!) and had it serviced on a servitek shop along c5 nearby, when they checked my engine, there were no signs of warping! Go for the Mitsu!

If you're looking at the Crosswind, i'd consider the XTi version. I test drove one before and the performance was pretty okay. Just add wider tires and it should corner better and driver more stable on the highways.

Take note, there's no such thing as an Adventure with a factory-installed diesel intercooled turbo. Don't be fooled by the stickers you see on some Adventure units. Mga nangangarap lang nang gising yung mga yun.

I know one guy out there who claims to have a turbo unit on his 4D56, but that's most probably an aftermarket installation.

Oh? my bad. anyway, diesel still has the edge on the gas variant of the SS before on FC.

afaik > LPT lang yung turbo ng xwind.. pag nag-swap ka ng 4d56t sa adventure mo, makikita mo difference..

naiintriga ko sa white adventure (B**-**8 alam ko plate nun) na nakikita ko dito sa amin: lifted ng konti at kung aesthetics(props) lang ang hood scoop nya.

Kung kakayanin, IMHO, get the CRDI Starex with VGT. Lakas ng makina, matipid pa. I think ride is better than an AUV. And is more comfortable.
