AUV/Manual transmission: Mitsubishi GLX SE or Isuzu Crosswind XT (brand new)

**jvnj** · October 8th, 2012 03:16 PM

Sir rey7tiam,

Both are good, durable and reliable vehicles. Pros of the XT: Direct injection (no need of heater during start-ups, plus no need to replace coz it doesn't have any glow plugs), Timing Gear (More durable and worry free than belt driven shafts), a little bit wider body than the GLX (load capacity and stance advantage). Cons: Emits more smoke, engine vibrates too much (para kang nasa massage chair he he!). Pros of the GLX SE: Feels more powerful and faster due to Timing belt engine and smaller body, Engine is much smoother and quieter (feels more comfortable), 2nd row A/C vents placed much better than the XT. Cons: Timing Belt.

For business use, I prefer the XT. For family or personal use I suggest the GLX SE.

Kung galing ka sa EFI Corolla, maninibago ka sa kupad netong dalawa!

Ang Adventure mas maganda ang takbo sa rektahan, yung Crosswind naman sa arangkada. So mas mataas top speed ng Adventure, pero mas malakas low-end torque ng Crosswind. Dahil din dito mas mahina ang Adventure sa akyatan kesa sa Crosswind, which is why you see many diesel Revo's and Crosswind's as cabs in Baguio but little to no Adventure's.

Kapag ramdam na ramdam yung vibration sa manibela, siguro yun ay napaka cold start talaga o kaya sobrang mababa ang idling rpm. Yung vibration naman ng old school diesel pwedeng mabawasan kung nakapag-warm-up ang sasakyan. Mas lalo ring magiging refined ang takbo ng makina neto kung pinatakbo mo ng mabilis for some time (say 70km/h and above). Malaki talaga ang diprensya kapag ginawa mo to, at the end of the day halos parang modern diesel na ang smoothness ng makina mo.

Sa loob naman, para sa akin mas maganda ang interior design ng Adventure. Mas civilized ang dating. As mentioned, mas OK din ang placement ng rear air vents niya. Yun nga lang mas masikip ang loob nito lalo na sa 3rd row. Ang Crosswind truck na truck talaga. Hazard light switch nasa steering column, pull and twist handbrake, FX type rear air vents... Pero mas malaki siya.

Yung brown interior ng crosswind is a huge pain in my behind to keep clean. Sumuko na din yung kabarkada ko. Now ang dumi na, the dark inerior colors in the older models were better. Maybe isuzu is trying to look more upmarket,

Ginaya nila sana ang Innova and kept the beige to high end variants only...

Beige and utility spell disaster.

Honestly speaking im having issues with the adventure i bought recently. Its mainly on the PMS side, masyadong madugo yun price ng DCT. Im spending an averaging 5-6k per PMS. Another issue is their so called warranty claims which i find it wierd, first time i heard of car batteries with 20k odometer reading warranty coverage.

On the good side, its fun to drive and also as a passenger of this vehicle. Slow poke though, avegaging 9-10 km/ liter for pure city driving with load. Being use on a daily basis for my company as delivery unit. Got a GLS sport. If kunti lang difference ng price of the GLX and GLS, try getting the higher model

sinabi mo pa! correct ka dyan sir.

Ano bang frequency (km in odometer/months) ng PMS? kindly indicate po sana yung corresponding costs.
sample:
1,500 KM -estimate cost
5,000 KM-estimate cost
~
wala kasi akong idea kung ano yung specified odometer reading pag nagpa PMS paki correct na lang. Oto ko kasi pinaglumaan so 1st time ko to mag-acquire ng brand new

Grabe naman yan bro! Ano yung mga ginawa sa isang PMS? Just motor oil and filter change couldn't possibly be that expensive... Kung CRDi yan maiintindihan pa eh.
