Trailblazer or MU-X

[marsha07]

It will be for my mom. Will be her first car. She lives in Pangasinan so traffic wont be an issue, thus, manual transmission would not be an issue too. Her first choice was Montero but I told her there are new models now that are better.

Ive read the TB thread here before this MU-X came out. Love the looks of the TB, but im concerned also of interior features in the MT variant.

I would have pushed her to the mazda CX-5, clearly wins with looks, handling, fc and pms cost but she really wants a 7-seater suv. Pls help me decide. She's not techie. No traffic there. She will use it for her weekly purchase in the city, mostly from her suppliers in Dagupan or Urdaneta, sometimes Baguio. She lives with my 2 aunts and 1 uncle. Budget is 1.1 to 1.4M, Comfortable driving/handling, Lower maintainance cost vs other SUVs.

Hi marsha07 pls. Consider the power of the car. 200HP from TB for your mom is too much. you can change the interior of the car by requesting to CASA, off course with additional payment.

Totl 4x2 a/t MU-X will do
it has the features found on luxury vehicles
cheaper maintenance according to isuzu
it cost 1.358M

My Vote is for Trailblazer. Never knew much about it. But love at first sight ako dito. Hehehe!

The Isuzu would be the practical choice since it's going to be utilized mostly in the province. On a recent trip to Bicol region, Isuzus practically outnumbered the Forts and Monteros on the road. Pasok pa sa budget mo.

MU-X. Better dealer network in the provinces. And you'll never have to worry about not having parts.

And then again, have you considered the base 5 seater Sorento? It's also within the budget and would be more comfortable and not as tall.

Since pareho lang naman sila does not really matter. For me I prefer the Trailblazer cause of the specs.

I think the 200hp is for A/T

Same here. When i saw it on my way to a mall, i couldnt help but drool haha. Yung side niya nagandahan talago ko then pag dating sa likod, nakita ko yung name nia ang naisip ko ganda naman. Pero siempre, di enough na maganda lang diba 😍

1. SMART key - pindut lang sa door mag open na.
2. Push start stop engine. pindut lang mag start na.
Traction control
ECS
4 wheel disc brakes
cruise control
Leather seats
kaya worth yung price nya na 1.358 M
meron din nyan sa TB kaso sa 4X4 lang makikita

[marsha07]

^Wow. Ayos yan kung ganon! Kase sa TB, yung ToTL lang talaga yung nalagyan nian

[beginnerz]

Wala bang 4x4 mt ? Hindi ko talaga type mga automatic, siguro after 20 years magugustuhan ko na

[jut703]

Panget for me ang Trailblazer. Aanhin ko ang 200 hp kung hindi naman ako nagagandahan sa minamaneho ko.

Definitely MU-X for me.

iba iba talaga ang taste natin... ako naman i dont like the looks of the new mux... pati interior, mas maganda at malaki tingnan ang Trail blazer... mas modern na din ang engine...

actually im also choosing between the mux and the tb..

we find the MUX ok lang... ordinary..

My family choose the trailblazer over the isuzu because of its looks.. both inside and out... and positive feedbacks sa mga owners... ang reklamo lang nila masyado daw magaang tumakbo pag nasa highways ka na you cannot feel na highspeeds ka na... Owners are all praises... matipid, smooth, magaang dalhin.. rides better than the ranger... etc.. puro positive kasi... then no major issues pa... then i can get it pa through bank P.O. yung isuzu commonwealth naka reserve daw units nila sa inhouse financing lang.. then may 20k discount pa ang trailblazer.... and isuzu meron naman d.i.

[EQAddict]

Im happy with my LTZ even though its not yet with the upgraded engine. Maybe the plastics could be better but I am glad I got it. I am a torque guy so the difference would be significant for me.

[glenn manikis]

sa picture pala ang ganda ng ISUZU...

pero nung pinuntahan ko sa showroom..

bakit ganun?

[Newcomer123]

check mo din refreshed Captiva, 7 seater diesel at 1.4M din lang.

If the sound of closing the door is a factor. Laglag pareho ang 2 ito. The sound and feel is not that solid.

Just for comparison and strictly sa said part. Yung 2007 fortuner, door closed better than a brandnew mu x.

On topic, Mu x .

[diyowell]

Same dillema here as the OP, first choice is tbz, but when I heard of mux and the additional safety features of it, I started liking it but when I saw the unit yesterday, parang May kulang...
