[rockiee_s]

*rockiee_s: ahh ganun po ba sir...sa sulit na pics, yung ni launch sya last nov last year na may LCD screen...may ibang variants ba? anyways still looks good yung dash...modern...thanks

tinanong ko rin yun. yung ginamit sa launch, euro version daw.

yung nilabas dito, integrated radio/cd player lang.

pero tama ka, maganda pa rin!!!

also, u might want to know. tinanong ko kung merong lcd monitor na pwedi sa kanya kahit additional cost for me, sabi wala pa daw pwedi. yun ang sabi mismo ng chevy.

ahh ganun ba sir...hehehe bat kasi may iba version pa sa ibang bansa....hindi nilang global same sa lahat...ganito na yata gagawin ng ford....thanks for the info ulit...

[rockiee_s]

you're welcome.

ang mahirap kasi sa pare-parehong features globally, baka di kayanin ng mga bansang tulad natin (3rd world). so imbis na bumenta, baka langawin lang......

[bounty]

you're right sir..pero syempre diba tayong mga pinoy hindi rin pahuhuli sa gadgets, burloloy sa car...at least dun man lang...siguro there strategy is to test first yung orlando sa pinas kung mabenta then later add variants...

I so love the Orlando from the pics. Un lang wala pako makita sa labas. If I get a new car, I think eto na un. Imbis na avanza or innova.

Just joined Tsikot to post in the forums. I'm in the process of buying an Orlando through the office and just waiting for the leasing company approval. The color I'm looking for is the pewter or smokey grey. Meron narin akong nakita sa daan na orlando. Gusto ko nga sana maging isa sa una, it's a nice conversation piece especially para sa mga hindi pa nakakita first hand.

I saw one display at Market Market last weekend and kanina sa Pasig showroom.. Very nice interior. Great dashboard layout. Almost the same with the Cruze. Dami rin standard auto features. Same feeling when I got a Cruze wayback 2010. Mai-inlove ka at first sight Parang gusto ko na trade-in Cruze ko to have a bigger capacity Same Cruze engine din ginamit but this time it uses electric power steering. Though I hope sana bigger engine like 2.4L in Canada. Will schedule a test drive to see the performance.

[cripple_rooster]

The 1.8L is not bad at all, but either a 2.4L gasoline-powered or the 2.0L turbodiesel are better to deal with the Orlando's weight.

[Amaterasu]

looking for suggestions kung anong rims bagay sa Orlando, with the grey color I'm leaning on getting something in bronze at either 18 or 19. Rota rims lang, don't have that big of a budget pero with just that mod the Orlando will go up 1 level higher in terms of looks.

Parang ang hirap pumasok sa third row seat... kelangan pang i-fold and tumble yung second row seat, unlike other MPVs that i-slide forward lang yung 2nd row seat to get into to 3rd row.

[meledson]

ewan lang sa orlandi, hindo ko pa na try....

sa mga nasubukan ko na, may madali sa akin makapasok sa 3rd row pag fold then tumble. kaysa iyong tilt forward ang sandalan and slide forward.

[xperiarc]

Same here. Mas nadadalian akong pumasok sa fold and tumble compare sa sliding.

[shermanWTC]

60/40 Split Folding Seats with "Roll and Fold" function for 2nd row seat kaya madali pumasok sa 3rd row.

[meledson]

just saw the new montero sport kanina. fold and tumble din. taas lang umakyat.

[donski]

WoW! taas ng rate sa crast test!

Just got my Pewter Grey Orlando last Saturday from Chevy Greenhills. I never got to test drive it pero now I can say ang sarap niya i-drive. Magaan yung gas and brake pedals and medyo ok naman response although I've just been doing city driving. I like the "follow me home" headlights niya that don't turn off after you stop the engine and take out the key, it's supposed to light your way if your opening the door to your house while its dark. Yung automatic headlights din is nice that you don't have to turn it on kahit pag pumasok ka bigla sa basement parking or sa underpass. Same with the automatic windshield wipers, siya na bahala mag set ng interval ng pag wipe depending on the intensity of the rain. Hindi kopa na try ng maigi yung tiptronic "manual" transmission niya, although I think it takes some getting used to especially kung sanay ka sa Manual transmission where the progression of gears is forward > back > forward > back while on the Orlando its forward > forward > forward. Haven't tested the cruise control yet din. It also has parking assist where it bips slow or fast depending on the distance to the wall.

[rockiee_s]

congrats on your new ride amaterasu.

i wanted to get the orlando also from chevy greenhills. sino kausap mo dyan? ako si andrew. mabait at matiyaga.

unfortunately, di ko pa nabenta isa kong ride kaya the orlando has to wait. pero definitely pagnabenta ko na coolbear ko, yan ang kukunin ko.

[shermanWTC]

*Amaterasu: Congrats to your new ride! How's your FC on city?

[Amaterasu]

*rockiee_s, si Jaymee Remigio yung dealer ko. Actually she didn't really have to sell me on the car. I just did my homework and looked for info online and sa looks talaga I was really sold and all the high end features. I just recently had my coworker who owns a CRV drive the car and he was very impressed with the features. Iniisip niya nga next car niya before he drove mine would be the Mazda CX9 pero after driving the Orlando and with the bang for the buck price napapaisip siya ngayon.

*shermanWTC, FC wise I don't know kung lagi lang kasi ako natrafic pero medyo malakas, although the past few days inaagahan kona pumasok para I can at least get into 4th and 5th gear mukhang nag iimprove na yung FC. Nayari kasi ako sa Monday traffic Jam kaya parang guzzler and dating. This Sat I'm planning to go to Tagaytay so I'll give you some more feedback after that trip, gusto ko tignan how easy the acceleration is in the upper 100s. One more thing, from a dead start you have to be careful to be really light on the pedal kasi yung tendency niya tataas yung revs so it needs a wee bit of patience to start moving pero once your in motion responsive na siya.

I thought there is no a/c vents in the second row just like a SUV. Pero meron pala. It is located at the center near bottom.
