New Mitsubishi Strada, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu Dmax o Nissan Frontier???

driven all three (though the hilux was a 3.0) and the results would vary on what kinda test you're talking about but if it's for a best value for money/ best all around package then here are my results:

1. STRADA - if you consider the features loaded and the price it's being offered then this is a no brainer (the 4x4 hilux and dmax cost over 100k more!?!). The 140hp on paper is evident on its actual driving characteristics. Important factors are the spacious cabin and the comfortable ride.
2. Hilux - Acceleration is stronger than the rest (for the 3.0 variant), though i was closely tailing this in the strada at close to 150kph. Ride is horrible and interior is way to plain. Don't know if they put abs already - for the price i think this pick up should come fully loaded.
3. Dmax - rides a little better than the hilux but is far behind the strada in terms of ride comfort. interior space is more cramped and is more old fashioned than the toyo and mitsu.

Another key point mentioned by a friend of mine, this new strada consumes much less fuel than the previous model- he used to spend around P1200 on his trips to the province but now the consumption is down to P850. you decide guys.
