[florantejose]

magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.. bibili po ako ng pickup. ano po ba maganda? why pickup? kc un lng para sa budget na 1.1m na gagamitin sa city lang. at 4 beses lang sa isang taon pag sa province.
main concern ko po ay baha po sa village namin inaabot hanggang tuhod.. sa mga dadaaan naman po mga kalahati lang ng tuhod.. pick up para mataas para pede ilusong sa baha..

ask ko lang po kung navarra or strada me? ung mas better ang FC ska less maintenance.. at comfort ride.. parang mababa po kc ang navarra na 4x2 sa strada 4x2. nalilito po ako kung anu bibilhin ko... 4x2 lang po kc ung 4x4 mahal na po.. maganda po ang strada ang navarra naman po macho kc malaki.. ano po ba ng pros and cons?

please help mga pick up owners.. meron po ba kayo na "SANA ************ nalang binili ko". satisfied po ba kyo sa mga truck nyo?
SUV po sana bibilhin ko ung pede 7 seater pro 5 lng naman kme ska bka d kaya sa baha. ty po in advance.. ung mga matataas naman po out of budget na tulad ng montero, fortuner etc....

strada po. mas madali bumili ng aftermarket parts including bigger wheels. mas maganda din interior

[eggman]

Mas ok ang Navara pag 4X4 pero 4X2 ang hanap mo eh mag Strada ka!

[renzo_d10]

Strada. No more doubts. :nono:

> Car-like ride which means, much more smoother
> ***y-design ( obvious naman diba? )
> Less maintenance problems ( the navara emits black smoke when accelerating/revving )

Next would be Ford ranger. No knowledge `bout it. Still new, less owners. Problems still not popping up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suv's for 1.1 million?

> Ford escape
> Hyundai Tucson
> Nissan X-trail

ground clearance not that high unlike the strada.


`nuff said

[noobskie]

I checked around and it says the minimum ground clearance of the GLX is only at 200mm while the Tucson is at 195mm already. Even the escape is said to be 200mm already. Maybe it would be better to have an SUV that would properly fit 5 passengers already while having a roof to cover your baggage such as the escape or the tucson.

thanks po sa reply agad.. sabi sa akin alanganin na daw strada ngayon kasi ilang years na rin sa atin baka maglabasan mga bago.. navarra bago lang saka maganda ang aircon ng nissan.. mejo nakakahilo magbasa ng mga thread nila..

may mga problems din lahat pero sa strada madami kang mahihingan ng opinion saka parang masaya sumali sa club :D hmm salamat po ulit sa mga comment. malaking tulong po ito sa akin.. mahirap kasi magkamali. minsan lang bibili ng sasakyan.. nakakalito talaga

[SIZE=2]TS: Baka pwede mo isama sa pamimilian ang AUV like Crosswind. aside from mataas na, super tipid pa at hindi ka manghihinayang ilusong sa baha.. sayang naman po ang bagong pickup kung ilulusong lang sa baha, parehas kasi yan masisira katagalan kung babad sa tubig..Pwede mo din consider 2nd hand na pickup then i-lift mo ng todo, sure na pang baha yan.

Eto po ang komento ko dahil parehas ko ginagamit yan pickup na yan (4x2 MT Navara, GLX M/T, & GLS Sport A/T Strada).. Kung pang baha dito sa dalawa, mas ok ang Strada kasi mataas pero kung abot tuhod ay kaya din naman ng Navara. Sa road handling at long drive mas preffered ko ang Navara mas komportable i-drive. Sa dami ng problema na lumabas, mas madami ang sa Strada pero minor lang din naman like squeaking suspension, uneven height, steering problems. Sa Navara ay aircon noise, squeaking hood, smoke belching(for some because of diesel quaity). Sa bilis, Navara pero depende narin sa driver (pero malakas din yung GLS Sport kasi kapag tinapakan ang pedal bumibigay ng power pero sobra ingay ng makina..), sa high-speed at kurbada lamang ang Navara. Interior, mas malaki ang Navara lalo na sa headroom pero mas komportable ka kung pasahero sa likod ng Strada. FC-hindi nagkakalayo ang CRDI engines sa consumption, cnompare kodin sa new Fortuner parehas lang ang lamang lang ng Nvara ay 80 litres ang tangke as compared sa 75L ng iba. Sa looks, kanya-kanyang preference meron kasi taong mahilig sa smooth curves at meron din mahilig sa brusko look. Para sakin ang Strada looks like a sedan but drives like a truck, yun Navara ay kabaligtaran po..

Ang mabuti po ay i-test drive nyo parehas at kung saan ang tibok ng puso nyo ay yun ang sundin para hindi magsisi..Pero sigurado din ako na kung masawi ka man ay matututunan mo nang mahalin ang iyong sasakyan kahit ano pa man yan. Mainam din po na dinggin natin ibang komento ng may 1st-hand experience sa dalawang truck na yan.

mitsubishi strada mas mataas ang resale value. second choice is toyota hilux.

pro: mataas pang baha talaga
cons: matagtag

[jaymd]

parehas lang malamig lahat ng aircon ng kotse sa pinas di lang sa nissan ewan ko ba kun kailan nagstart yun super lamig yun aircon ng nissan haha.

[renzo_d10]

Saan ba nagsimula ang theory na " ang nissan ay may pinakamalamig na a/c " ?

Ang toyota rin naman ah, napakalamig ng a/c nun.

Pero to the TS, strada talaga next would be ford ranger and next would be hilux.

[tidus1203]

In the 90's kasi totoo talaga yung aircon ng Nissan malakas talaga. Yung #1 nila #2 na ng other brands. Ewan ko na lang ngayon...

[OTEP]

Objectively, Calsonic (Nissan's A/C supplier) does use a larger evaporator and condenser when compared class per class. And yes, other a/c brands used by other manufacturers are adequate also. But when it comes to handling higher temps, Calsonic systems do it more efficiently.

As for ground clearance, what is mentioned in the brochure is ground clearance at the lowest point of the vehicle (usually under a differential or axle). If you want something for use on water, get a vehicle with a higher step in height (measured from the ground to the bottom of the door). So you'll have less worry of water coming into the cabin. Also note the placement of the air intake. The Strada has it on the leading edge of the hood which is not my preferred location. For a truck, I'd rather get somthing that draws air from inside the fender, behind a headlamp or orther more protected areas. There is a gasket protecting the air intake on the Strada, though. Which would be adequate for most of us already.

As for being old. I'm no fashionista. If I like a car, I wouldn't care if a newer model comes out. My current vehicle is superseded by 2 facelifts already. Yet I don't feel bad about being the 'old model' because I love my rig.

My biggest gripe about the Strada is the smallish bed. But if you're not hauling anything large, then it's ok. Strada 4x2 and 4x4 models share the same high rider chassis. Not sure about Navaras.

Noong early 90's nagsimula yung aircon ng nissan malamig, yung series 2 sentra ko noong akoy kolehiyo di talaga matapatan ng mga toyota corolla,glxi lancer, at civic esi ng mga kabarkada ko, meron pang time pinagtripan namin iwan sa ilalim ng araw yung mga sasakyan namin at binuksan yung aircon at nagpalamigan kami pagkatapos ng isang stick ng yosi..sa sentra maginaw na sa kanila medyo warm pa tsaka kahit sinong nagmamaneho na ng nung 90's ganito talaga ang impression..

pero ngayon tingin ko pinakamalamig toyota na ata, daming nagsasabi, yung bnew crv ng barkada ko wala pang plaka naglkrereklamo siya sa aircon niya, parang hilaw daw kumpara sa camry niya dati..


hehe OT na sorry

Strada ko dito sa topic mas mataas, pero mas mukhang pickup yung navara at mas brusko nga...

*TS

here are my opinion about Strada & Navara

Strada
-pretty good ground clearance, no problem in dealing with knee high waters

Navara
-its biggest in its class
-the 4x2 model has a lower ground clearance, you need to spend a little more if you want to gain same stance as the Strada

other option:
Hilux
-just this 2009 a 4x2 G version was already released
-it already has the same height & looks of a 4x4, but cheaper current price is 1.062M

just my two cents

[Idoy]

As an "almost" owner of Navara (paid the downpayment and Nissan failed to deliver the unit as promised), I picked Strada.

Why?

1. Nissan has the worst casa service. Mitsubishi isn't far behind though. Imagine dealing with them for the next 5 years of your life. Hell on earth.
2. I test drive the 4x4 Navara. Very impressive. Lots of power on tap. When I looked at their 4x2, I walked away. The 4x4 has all the mojos you need.
3. But then again, I'm using it for city driving most of the time and occasional hauling, so I don't need 172 horsepower. A 4x4 Strada is adequately enough, 160hp. Navara's pickup bed is BIGGER and WIDER too, but I don't haul BIG cargo all the time.
4.Navara's body is bigger and the turning radius bigger too. My parking space is small. My friends always wonder how I can park a pickup inside a small lot. Strada has the smallest turning radius, very helpful.
5. Although I'm not yet a formal member, Strada club rocks. Just reading their topics helped me a lot.
6. Forget the aircon issue. My girlfriend complains how freezing Strada's aircon is.
7. The stock HU of Strada plays USB, has 6 speakers VS 4 from Navara.
8. Riding comfort is about the same. I find Strada's ride softer though.
9. Navara's stock height is low. They brag that they have the tallest ground clearance in their brochure. Lies.
10. I'm a fan of box shaped pickups. Navara edge my Strada a bit in this deparment. But Strada's look is still growing on me.

You sure did your homework.

The pick up segment has so much choices....its practically tailored on what you need.
