Im in no interest of implying what you said sir...but if thats how you see it then I'm sorry about it...
but still, the figures from my experience is accurate and I've done almost all the methods of measuring the FC that I'am capable of doing just like most of the people do... and still it all ends to one result...

September 20th, 2010 09:29 PM #43Pick-ups are built in mind by the manufacturers to be a work horse with a stiff suspension to be able to carry heavyloads. In most countries that see plenty of off-roading like Australia, Middle East, Africa, TOYOTA 4WD's are on top of the list. This countries use and abuse these 4wd's no matter what brand they are. But its a different story here in the Philippines since most of our roads are paved and these 4x4's are used the "wrong" way. They are bought and used as status symbols and pang porma and not workhorse, hence, most complain about their stiff ride coz most people expect them to ride like sedans. Heck, I bet that most new owners of this pick ups don't even know how to use properly the "4L", "4H" of their rigs. These pick ups should then be compared also in their "off-road" capabilities and not only in their "on-road" capabilities as well as a 5-year durability and reliability test. Only then can you really make a good answer. 4x4 enthusiasts like me will surely know the answer....

September 20th, 2010 09:30 PM #44Meron talagang mga tao katulad mo that will make 5hit up, cause you cant take other peoples opinion. Kaya nga tinawag na car comparison para marinig mga different opinion. Pero cguro gusto mo ass kissing lang with your buddies and tell each other how nice everything is while sipping your cup of Joe. Car club ng mga fags?
Reputation as a car company, resale value, reliability, fuel economy, etc. The truth is in any line-up, mas mataas ang resale value ng Toyota cars compared to Mitsubishi. Hindi naman cguro myth eto and did not happen overnight. Years ago neck and neck ang reputation ng Mitsubishi with Toyota in build quality but somehow in the international market naiwan na ng Honda at Toyota and Nissan ang dating formidable Mitsubishi.
The article you sighted list the Triton at $45,000 and the Hilux at $50,200 That’s a bigger price difference ditto sa Pinas if you convert it to PHP, plus mas malaki tinatabas ata ng dealers ditto sa sticker price with Toyota, we got ours for 1mil 390k while it was listed 1.45m, so 55k discount from list price. Plus redesigned ang suspension at engine ng Hilux for 2010 amongst other things so we don’t know kung how they would compare now, your article is based on 2007 models, though same generation, but like I said redesigned ang Hilux. Kung noon neck and neck ewan ko nalang ngayon.
Punta ka sa ANCAP mas mataas rating ng Hilux sa Triton , pero fraction lang. Pero both 4 stars. Biased lang ang nagsasabi na hindi safe ang Hilux, pure opinion. I would rather be in the Hilux than in my 2005 civic kung magbangaan, I don’t care kung 5 stars ang award ng Civic.
Manood ka ng CNN, kung mga arabong Terrorist ang pinaguusapan lagging may Toyota Hilux na 20 years old with 20 gentlemen on the back holding up their AK’s.
Hilux is a tough mother, hindi mo kailangan mahalin it will serve you for a life time. Hilux in other countries is dubbed the “Unbreakable”.
Pero gets ko okay. I like the Strada, kung ayun ang nabili namin hindi ako magpapakamatay, I will be happy as well. Pero since masmadami ata Strada boys ditto sa mga forums I’ll go ahead and play the advocate for Hilux, para equal ang playing field.

September 20th, 2010 09:40 PM #46well I dont know maybe masama lang talaga akong driver for FC. For example I also drive a 2005 civic tanongin ko ibang owner sabi nila city driving daw nila 9 pero ako 7 to 7.5 lang. but then..hindi sa pagmamayabang ha, lagi nakatodo aircon and I dont bother to turn it off. Pero hindi nman din ako nag tatail gate at, I let the car cruise kung alam ko hihinto din ang trafic sa harap ko. and most of the time when I accelerate from a stop hindi ko nman pinapalagpas sa 3k rpm...well saaking lang feeling ko exageration lang yun 9 for a Civic. Just an example Po.

September 20th, 2010 09:50 PM #48The Navarra is a good option since in the US it is rated as one of the safest cars over there with "Stability Control/Traction Control, 6 airbags, Strong Safety Structure and Anti-rollover sensors." (**www.nissanusa.com) even though some of those features are not available here the Safety Structure is the same...
Bakero703- not meaning to offend you, I don't have any against the hilux just sharing safety warnings hehe....

Yup...definitely, because the driving style is a major factor on what the FC will be.... like for example when I've done the 12kms/liter figure I didn't even exceed the speed of 90kph and I think the RPM was only around 2.3k to 2.4k on the highway...
I've done that until my gauge reached 1/4 and Im telling you it was the most boring 2 days of my entire driving life.... and I did it just to prove that my truck can reach 12kms/liter....:bwahaha:
for your civic...
I think you might want to elaborate more on a different thread if possible...like perhaps posting more details like what variant it is (1.6 or 2.0), what transmission and what fuel do you use...because this are also factors that can affect the fuel economy...
