adventure super sport or sportivo

[noygelo]

i'm planning to buy new auv. i really need an expert advice on what to choose?which is better? adventure super sport or a sportivo in terms of durability, riding comfort, fuel efficiency and resale value? please help

Fuel efficiency = Sportivo :thumbup:

Everything else = Adventure :bwahaha:

agree with this

previous owner of an adventure sport 2000 model, no bad experiences, kahit na puno for cargo ok pa rin. 14" mags, running my max limit of 130-135kph nlex. ride comfort is ok, ok din interiors as compared to sportivo. FC +- 10km/L

Sportivo 2007, FC 12-13km/L, more torque as compared to adventure with full cargo. interior is ok but quite inferior to adventure, ride height is good. being used as a workhorse, have been using it for over a year now, no problem whatsoever, hopefully nothing arises. sctex tried max speed around 120-125kph/hr. More masculine looking than adventure, adventure is more of a refined nature.

It's more of a choice, for city driving i'll go for adventure, for city driving with water sportivo

sportivo for me.

[XTO]

Kahit ngayon crosswind pa rin pipiliin ko for less than a million AUV and that’s XTi variant to be exact. Even when full maganda pa rin tindig – may laro pa rin nag leaf spring. Very efficient at 12-14 kms/li on city.

No way for the XUV/Sportivo – too heavy for the same engine and much more budget for the tires in the future.

But between the super sport (with spare tire at the back) against sportivo?

Sportivo manual for me.

they say that a sportivo is matagtag...how true? what's the big difference between a sportivo and a crosswind xuv/i? for me, almost look the same

[noygelo]

can you put a spare tire mounting at the back of an isuzu xti to make it look a little sportier ? as per feed back from other tsikot members it is much better than a crosswind or sportivo. now i am leaning a little more to the xti

[alwayz_yummy]

ung older croswind xuv/xuvi/xuvi-limited.. somewhat nag-improve na ang ride ng sportivo kasi sa # of leaf springs. 5 na malalapad sa sportivo, 7 sa older..

Sportivo!

IMO, the leaf springs of adventure is not designed for a full auv payload, madaling magdeflect upwards, kaya bagsak ang rear pagpuno.

[alwayz_yummy]

noygelo - abt the rear mounted spare-tire door: if you can buy the whole buy otherwise, wag na..

3 ways lang yan:

1.ask a sportivo owner to make a swap with your door and under-floor tire mount. and while you're at it include mo na yung side flarings,front bumper.

2. buy from the casa and sell your original door

3. get from a wrecked sportivo.

Adventure Super Sport
-though space inside is relatively smaller, mas refined interior with lots of cubbyholes, cupholders, etc... Ang ayaw ko lang is the suspension at the back na babagsak kun may load.

Sportivo
-this variant is expensive for an AUV (pricey for what it can offer).

Durability....tie.
Fuel efficiency and resale value....edge to the Sportivo.

they say that a sportivo is matagtag...how true?

Ride comfort?....parehong matagtag as both uses leaf spring suspensions at the back. For an AUV its actually tolerable. But do not expect a sedan ride quality and comfort.

what's the big difference between a sportivo and a crosswind xuv/i? for me, almost look the same

Amenities lang...same engine...same body.

Kahit ngayon crosswind pa rin pipiliin ko for less than a million AUV and that’s XTi variant to be exact.

Agree..the XTi seems to be the best value Crosswind variant esp. if the Limited Edition ones are still available..Sportivo except the shell.

can you put a spare tire mounting at the back of an isuzu xti to make it look a little sportier

Not exactly...the trend is actually to do away with a rear-mounted spare tire to have a more clean look.

HTH.

Actually, yes, the XTi is the most ideal Crosswind variant you can get for the money.
