disappointed by Foton

[cpsolt]

i saw a foton view van pa naman sa hypermart wing ng Mall of Asia parking kanina. ang laki at maganda sana hitsura except for their crappy stickers. mas maganda sya in solid color.
i hope sir roberto's van gets fixed soon.

I had a chat with an autoparts store personnel here at Antipolo while buying parts for our L300 and Isuzu NHR.

I was curious about the supply of Hyundai H100 (yung parang L300) spare parts and asked him if they have stocks available. The guy said they have spare parts for everything except Foton.

sa palagay ko hindi totoo na isuzu engine yan. anu ba kayo hindi papayag ang isuzu. sinabi lang nila yan para sa sales. sure naman na kinopya nila ung engine ng isuzu kaya pag nasira ang foton niyo pwede niyo palitan na ng isuzu kasi kamukhang kamukha niya. kami meron kami 5 china engine waterpump siya. kamukha kamukha siya ng yanmar na water pumps. nung nasira ung pyesa ng china engine namin pinagcompare namin sa orig na yanmar parehong pareho at pwede gamitin kaso hindi lang namin binili kasi npaka mahal naman pyesa ng yanmar. dapat nga iboycot niyo ung mga china products na "obvious na clone lang product nila" katulad ng motor na rusi kamukhang kamukha ng mga honda. natawa nga ako dun sa electrician namin kumuha siya ng rusi na hulugan wala man isang taon nabenta na sa junkshop ung motor niya hanggang ngayun sinisingil pa rin siya ng rusi. sagot niya dun sa naniningil, ung binayad ko pampagawa ng motor na binigay niyo nakabili na sana ako ng suzuki raider 150. ako para sakin advice ko sa mga bibili ng truck bumili nalang kayo sa subic na mga 2nd hand galing japan. kami dun kami bumibili ng mga truck reliable na reliable walang sakit sa ulo. ang iba bibili ng brand new na china kasi mura at dahil brandnew low maintainance daw pero baligtad un sigurado sakit sa ulo mga china. kami meron kami 4 na truck galing japan halos 10yrs na samin ang nasira lang eh alternator bukod dun wala na. payo ko lang po yan sa experience namin.

sa subic 300k to 500k ung mga elf canter 600k to 800k naman ung mga forward. pwede naman din yata finance sa bangko yan eh.

Pati Honda motorcycles made in China na. Mga Honda power products are made by Jailing. Kung punta ka sa Motorstar Philippines may makita ka motor na binibenta nila na may tatak Jailing sa makina , mura pa 38K lang parang Honda TMX na ang laki. Yung mga machines sa factory ng Jailing sa paggawa ng motor products, Honda pala ang nagsupply sa kanila.

Sa quality nang metals na lang nagkakatalo talaga yan. Siyempre may ibang quality level ang honda.

We are selling our foton truck since last year na nabili lang nang late 2011. Laki nang gastos namin sa pagpapagawa mas lalong nakakabwisit mas madalas ang tingga kasi walang parts ang foton na pamalit, maghihintay ka nang matagal kasi order pa sila.

Right now what we are doing puro hanap nang alternative parts kung hindi kasya pinamachine shop. Yung fuel line mechanisk nya 6months na sira ang ginagawa na lang namin nilalagyan nang metal epoxy para mabawasan ang tulo.

[Syuryuken]

katulad ng motor na rusi kamukhang kamukha ng mga honda. natawa nga ako dun sa electrician namin kumuha siya ng rusi na hulugan wala man isang taon nabenta na sa junkshop ung motor niya hanggang ngayun sinisingil pa rin siya ng rusi. sagot niya dun sa naniningil, ung binayad ko pampagawa ng motor na binigay niyo nakabili na sana ako ng suzuki raider 150.

maniniwala na sana ako sayo kaya dito ako nagduda sino namang tanga ang ibebenta sa junkshop ang hinuhulugang motor kung pwede namang ibalik

Dunno if posted previously

undecided talaga. mura kasi eh :hysterical::bleh:
ito nga JMC 2 years ko ng hinihintay. sana nga dumating na this year or next year

Saw this personally for the first time a few days ago in their Tarlac showroom. After reading a few reviews from C magazine and Auto Industriya, I was curious to see it in the flesh. For a Filipino assembled car, its not bad, the internals are flimsy pero for a 1M price tag what more can you ask for. Interior wise it has a little improvement compared to some China Made cars Ive had the pleasure of viewing.

Draw back was I had to travel all the way to Dagupan to test drive it. They didn't even offer I test drive their unit in Tarlac. My opinion, all you need is a little body kits improvement it can be a looker. Engine wise, I was told it was Ford sourced, and their trucks are Isuzu Engine sourced also.

hello we are using foton view van here in Iloilo, it has been 6months since we purchased 3 units, and this is our actual experience, first there was clutch problems, matigas ang shifting, electrical like fuses would be burned every now and then, break pads would wear off at only 10,000 km used, aircon auxillary fan motor burned at 26,000. we purchased fuel filter and it arrived 3weeks dito kahit filters wala sila stock. wala din dealer computer analyzer to help on problems like the check engine. gamit namin ang warranty but all parts charged to us plus service. kaya and kasabihan you get what you pay for, lesson wag na kumuha ng foton view van. Disappointed user ang counting.

There is no question they copy their engines from reputed company. The question is the quality of the parts they use. Etc the hardess of the metal. Like most of chinese motorcycle are copy cat of honda. But they are not reliable. Coz the metal is soft. But atleast you could buy replacement parts from honda. Parang nangyari sa korean made kia pride. Mas mahal pa replacement than orig partsm atleast mastatagal

[boybit1]

Sinisisi natin ang product ng china kasi bulok. Pero kung tutuusin pinoy din ang may kasalanan. Yun mga china product sa u s or any 1st wirld country may qc. Dito sa atin yun mga rejects. At worst yun mga existing china brand na product na sumikat na pinepeke pa. Dahil sa mga demand ng pinoy. Like yun diamond brand na lockset may pwke na yan
