Comments with Nissan Estate and Ford 2003 expedition

[mdpo]

Guys,

Please input your feedback or comments with estate and expedition. We are left with these two choices nalang. Out na ang e-150 because of its size.

thanks,

Sobrang magkaibang class ata iyang dalawang iyan ha. hehehe. Apples to oranges. For what purpose ba? Kung for hauling people, ayos na ayos ang Nissan Estate (ito yung parang bus diba?). Talagang people hauler. Ganda pa ng mga upuan (parang sa bus). Engine niya is same as Patrol minus the turbo and intercooler. Will beat the living daylights out of a 3.0 Grandia.

Expedition medyo masikip pa din ang rear quarters. Pero first and second row very generous ang accomodations. Makes for a good tow vehicle (for trailers, jetskis, what-have-you). The doors are also quite heavy so keep in mind kung sino ang gagamit. They have this tendency to suddenly snap open kung medyo mahina ang may hawak. This can cause damage to your vehicle to the vehicle next to it.

parang mag kaibang class nga ito.
ung isa van category, ung isa nmn SUV.

personal choice ko is ung Expedition.
pero may bad experience na agad yung kaibigan ko dyan.
la pa 3 months ung Exped nila, nagloko na ang aircon.
right now nasa casa na lang uli.

with the estate wala pa akong experience dun.
pero mukhang ok nga yung engine kasi pareho ng patrol.
lakas yun for the van.

yun lang po.

No hands-on experience with both but the Estate is my choice if i'm looking for a diesel people-carrier. Its the only van aside from the MB100 that has a front crumple zone despite the absence of a hood (based on the brochure i got). I also saw one on my way to Baguio, overtaking isnt as "time consuming" as with the Hiace i was driving.

Part of your decision would be on how many people you plan to carry, your fuel preference, who'll be driving (matic vs manual), etc...

pros:
high-tech diesel engine
"north pole" calsonic airconditioning system
cons:
weird styling
still the usual "engine below the driver design"

2003 ford expedition
pros:
thoroughly redesigned for 2003
new independent rear suspension
cons:
gas-guzzler
wallowy suspension

2 estate = 1 xpd.

my family back home has both the 2k3 CEO Estate... and the 2k3 Expedition...

personally, I find the Estate very bumpy at the back due to the leaf spring suspension. The torque is pretty good. But the Estate is very noisy.

The expeditions suspension is pretty good. It's a little stiffer than the 99 Expedition Ltd. that we had a while back. So far no problems as far as I recall. I really love driving it and love the room on the first two rows... the 3rd row is a little crampped..

May adjustment bang pwedeng gawin to make the estate not bumpy.. like changing to wider tires? or maybe shocks??

thanks

[boybi]

baka pwede din gawin sa estate yung babaliktarin tung isang leaf? and change shocks?

[pajerokid]

I it were up to me, my needs and my wants....

EXPEDITION!!! Tamang tama! With my salary and my loans i can afford to drive it once a month!!! hehehe :praning:

Expedition nalang! For safety's sake. The flat faced vans we have here are totally unsafe when it comes to front collisions, ever wonder why these vans have no airbags? it's because they are totally useless, the makers know that if you figure out in a serious front end crash, you won't make it anyway, you become the bumper and crumple zone. No offense to van owners here :worried:

totoo po yan. kaya nga hirap kami maghanap ng family van.
bababa kaya price ng town & country after the new excise tax? ito ang dream van ko. pero hindi kaya hirap ito sa parts?

tataas? yes kasi naki-ride yan sa ten-cheater rule...

parts? di ko maintindihan price schedule ng norkis. Casa nito parang GM, multi brand. E150 ka na lang he he
