Ford Everest 2015

[yebo]

pasensya na kung para sa iyo ay pagyayabang ang dating pero di ako ganun tao. fault ba un if nagkataon na lumabas ang 1st batch? para sa akin, walang pinagkaiba un at i would still consider ourselves lucky kung sa last batch kami ng older model bsta nasa ayos na kalagayan ung sasakyan.
mararamdaman naman siguro sa tono ng pagsasalita or pagsusulat kung nagyayabang o hindi.

wala naman akong nakitang yabang sa post mo sir. i assure you the majority here did not also see any.

maingay ba ang brake? di kaya lagi kang babad sa brake kasi automatic and tranny at sunog ang brake pads mo? usually nag-burn ang brake pads and disc pag babad masyado sa brake and this usually happens when the driver has the habit of stepping on the brakes everytime. baka change of driving habits needed? coast to a stop, don't unnecessarily accelerate to speed then just brake time and again. so after magpalit ka ng brake pads palit din ng habit sa driving siguro.

ano pa sir ibang problems na nakita nyo?

you mentioned radio station. yun ba yung nagpapalit ng station yung radio na hindi mo naman ginagalaw? nasa settings yan sir, turn off mo yung "alternate station" setting. pag naka-ON ang alternate station the radio will tune in to the set alternate station when the signal of your chosen station gets weak (in between tall buildings, tunnel, etc.) or better yet set mo yung alternate stations same as your chosen preset stations.

mararamdaman naman siguro sa tono ng pagsasalita or pagsusulat kung nagyayabang o hindi. matagal kami naghintay bumili dahil gusto sana namin ay yung pangmatagalan at maasahan, and base sa available sa market na sasakyan at that time un na nga ung everest.

binanggit ko lang ung brakes issue bec un ung main problem namin and para un ang maging focus sana. ung iba like sa radio frequency na until now ay wala pa rin daw solution according to ford.

anyway, salamat sa informative na post. salamat din kina ferrarifan at predo for taking time to comment. bukas ang sked ko na dalhin ulit ung sasakyan sa service and sasabihin ko ung mga naipayo nyo. again, thank you and good day sa inyo.

wala din akong nakikita or nababasang yabang sa iyo bro. pag pasensyahan mo na lang ibang members dito.
congratulations on your ride.

PM me bro and i will give you contact of my friend at Ford Philippines HQ. He'll be happy to hear your concerns/ issues and hopefully resolve them.

titanium premium has HID low beams so i take it you mean the high beams. yes for the high beams but why, high beams na yun e. the bulbs are yellow for longer throw in all weather conditions. white light does not do well in the rain. and you do not intend to use your high beams on the hiway, or do you?

Sir hindi ba H15 ang high beams natin? H11 kasi yung nasa link.

when i said pwede i meant pwede yung X-tremeVision. Syempre that goes without saying that the bulb mount needs to be the same.

DI is paid by the bank to the dealer. normally this is at 1%. so hindi sa iyo mangalaling yung DI.

to make sure punta ka muna sa bank at pa-compute ka ng DP and monthly amortization schedule sa kanila plus effective interest rate. then sabihin mo sila magbabayad ng DI. pag ayaw hanap ka ng ibang bank.

the only time you will pay DI yourself is if you pay in cold cash. wait until december when they are getting rid of their remaining 2016 units, most probably wala na DI at maybe may discount pa.

Thanks Sir. [emoji2]

Noted sir. Kaso kasi nung sinilip ko yung link at inikot ko yung page ng Phillips, walang H15 na Extreme Vision. So nalito lang ako and wanted to clarify. Naghahanap lang din po kasi ako ng options to replace the stock bulbs kaya po interested ako sa exchanges ninyo.

Wala naman pong need maging sarcastic with matching bold letters. Good vibes lang po tayo sir.

my bad, halogen type pala yung na link ko. i just want to upgrade my lowbeam kasi naka dark tint ako medyo kulang yung stock.

*bigeebabee

thanks for the link, pwede ba itong OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker Unlimited D1S sa lowbeam natin? and anong bulb yung stock natin? tnx

I just noticed, after a long drive, mas mainit pa ung side fender kesa sa hood mismo? Sana may butas na lang ung side vent ng eve.. not aesthetic.. dual purpose pa..

after 800+ kms on the 2.2 titanium premium, here's what i have to share so far...

engine grunt is noticeable at low gears, but then the cabin goes eerily quiet after getting up to speed. turbo lag is evident during acceleration, but this is expected. the Eve would probably have a hard time competing with other PPV SUVs when it comes to acceleration due to its heavier weight, but top speed is decent. the 2.2 engine is certainly not lacking in power, but it's not over the top either. "decent" is how i would characterize it.

ride quality is good. bumps and potholes are a bit pronounced, but given that this has 20" rims, i find the ride is still better than expected.

i love the safety features of this variant. what surprised me most was how nice it is to have the FCM when you need it. it was activated once while i was driving in a provincial road on a short uphill climb when a jeep decided to unload at the top of the hill in the middle of the road. the system notified me even before i noticed the jeep and did pre-charge the brakes and i managed to avoid colliding with it. it certainly helps especially with big and heavy SUV like ours. BLIS and cross-traffic alert is also very helpful, although those proximity sensors do go off every now and then especially when in traffic and motorcycles are whizzing all around you. the sensitivity can be adjusted but i decided to keep them at normal settings for now. of course, having 7 airbags is a big plus for safety-conscious drivers like me.

i have used the active park assist twice and it's been spot-on on both occasions. this really helps for parallel parking challenged drivers like me, but it should not be an excuse not to learn how to do parallel parking manually.

i also tested both normal and adaptive cruise control on the expressways, but only for a couple of minutes as i find that they make driving dull and boring in the long run. they can be used from time to time if only to rest your feet, but i certainly won't use them as often and as much.

the one feature that i'm really not keen on using is lane assist. i haven't tried it and does not see any use for it.

the doors are a bit heavy as usual for this kind of vehicle, but i don't like that they don't open linearly. it makes them prone to bumping other objects beside it when opening. i'm not sure if this also the case with other brands of PPV SUVs. having a powered tailgate is nice though.

sync 2 is functioning well. i have a limited time testing voice command and it works nicely. i heard sync 3 is coming soon in other markets and there is a rumor that google maps will be integrated for navigation, so maybe a software upgrade in the future will finally give us an integrated navigation system. sound quality is decent as well.

it does take time to get used to all the controls and buttons, but a bit of tinkering plus reading the manual eventually gets you familiarized with everything.

that's it from me for now, i will post other observations later as they become evident. hope this helps.

*ferrarifan,

thank you for this thorough review on the titanium 2.2. if I could make a small request on your review of its fuel consumption as well as the audio quality. thanks in advance!

it says 8.7km/l on the dash. i haven't touched that since i got the unit. haven't done manual calculations yet.

the audio quality is good enough for stock speakers. if you're not an audiophile, they are already okay.

i usually set at 1/4 the volume level when listening to radio, slightly above that when using phone as music source, so i guess decibel levels are more than adequate.

based on your review, i'm expecting the trend to be around 8km/l city driving. not really an audiophile, but what's important for me is audible yung bass & above average yung quality sa speakers.

I may listen to some radio but most of the time it will be from my phone. trip ko na mga songs are from rock bands such as metallica, pantera, dream theater, 90's alternative(pinoy & foreign). not sure if there are other members into these kinds of songs.

salamat ulit sa mga nagcomment. nadala ko na kahapon sa ford libis ung unit and hinintay ko pa ung service manager at kinausap regarding sa problema sa brakes para siguradong matutukan ung sasakyan. wala pa silang feedback pero sabi ko ok lang kahit ilang araw bsta pag iuuwi ko na ung unit ay talagang maayos na.

idagdag ko lang na bago ko dalhin ung unit, may naging additional na problema pa. kahit di apakan ang brakes ay may continuous na ingay o sipol na naririnig na galing sa mga front wheels. binanggit ko na rin ito sa service advisor pati ung mga payo nyo na patignan ang pad, lining at calipher.

again, salamat and hopefully maayos na ung problema sa brakes. good day sa inyo.

[gomez_ea2]

^^^ keep us updated boss sa status ng eve nyo, sana maayos agad at tama para magamit mo na.din. thanks

As the resident lurker of Tsikot's car audio section and a proud new owner of a 4x2 Titanium Plus model, I'd say the stock system is better than the stock Sonata. Given that it has a subwoofer near the 3rd row seats as with our Expedition, meron yan amplifier somewhere to power. This is why overall volume overhead was surprising.

For the settings, I would recommend a Bass +2/+3, mid + 1, treble + 2 with the setting focused on the driver with no change in fade and balance. I found that this gives the best tonality after fiddling with it.

---

[Note: We do have a 1st-gen Fortuner and Montero and those are my comparos]

I would say the 2.2L diesel surprised me. I'd say that it's more than enough for city driving. I'm currently averaging 7.5km/L on congested traffic -- my avg. speed is something like 9km LOL. I find the diesel sound to be intrusive as it revs up (in comparison, the LC200's diesel is way more civilized) but this is normal for the PPV segment. It just so happens that I set the bar up high in that category with this being a 2nd-gen PPV model and all.

This light EPS is something of a mixed bag. On one side, I do highly enjoy the light steering given city traffic but on the otherhand I feel that it's too light for my taste. Its EPS is akin to a 2007 Expedition in feel if anybody has driven that. Overall, I still like it over hydraulic assisted steering of its peers and is a plus on my book.

What surprised me the most is NVH levels. Once it gets up to speed and if you let go of the throttle, you're practically cocooned. Hell, it's possible more quiet than my own Sonata and it's as quiet as a rolling Land Cruiser once inside. Incredible NVH for Php2m.

thank you very much sir jhnkvn! this is another really useful & insightful review. especially your suggestion in the audio settings.
