No brainer kaagad? No test drives nor any reviews and comparison... Lol!!!

I am considering to buy this unit. Meets our need. Unfortunately, nainvest ko na pera sa lupa. Hanggang silip muna sa forum.
Just saw the MU-X displayed in SM Megamall.
Bummer that they displayed the low end model. Front grill is plastic instead of chrome.
I prefer the interior of the Fortuner displayed in megamall as well.
Maybe because its an Isuzu. TBZ being a Chevrolet makes you think it comes as a sibling from its SUV bigger brothers. But when you think of Isuzu, all my mind is comparing it to is the crosswind, alterra, and d-maxI owned a fuego with vibrating everything even fenders and bumpers. thats what my mind defaults when I think Isuzu.hehe.
But I agree some plastics or not well screwed or attached, the grill for instance is a bit loose. but during the course of my test, feels like it is well screwed inside. no vibrations on the panels.

same lang ata sir,walang Chevrolet sa Australia,holden ang brand na ginagamit doon like holden cruze and holden Camaro.
Kaya nga... I'm considering din pa naman ito mux...nawala tuloy lalo interest ko sa mga ganyan tirada... Yung agent sa tb. Ang sabi sakin nung pinag comment ko sa isuzu... Ang sagot himdi pa daw nya alam at wala pang reviews or kilala na meron.. Pero sa tb puro pos. Naman lahat ng customers nila... Check ko pa daw sa forums and fb... True enough positive nga lahat... Talagang trailblazer nalang kukunin ko... Honest kasi mga sales agents nila... Nasa kanila trust and confidence ko
ikaw naman glenn manyakis siyempre SA ng Chevrolet ba naman pinagtanungan mo alangan naman ilaglag niyang product nila. nakakita ka na ba ng SA na nilaglag ang product nila? Love your own ika nga. hindi ba nila sinabi kung gaano katagal dumating ang parts nila? kung gaano kataas ang PMS cost? wag kang maniwala sa mga SA sanay mga yan sa marketing strategy.
chevy sales are the worst specifically sa alabang branch.
the day na nag cocompare kami ng mu-x at tb, pagpasok namin ng chevy ni walang pumansin samin the whole time. bawat isa sa kanila may kausap sa phone (nasa loob pa nga ng units yung iba), nakikinig ng music, nakikipag usap sa kapwa staff. sa lahat ng auto showrooms na napuntahan namin, etong chevy lang yung ganyan. though i'm not saying the mu-x is better than the tb, but ang pinareserve na namin ay yung mu-x agad based sa price, specs, and experience sa sales..
dating daw ng unit namin is by 1st week of october, nag pa reserve kami 1st week of september.
Test drove it earlier at PIMS. the A/T one. too bad there were only 1 M/T and 1 A/T available for test drive. the line for the A/T reached as high as 15 in queue.
first thing I noticed, A/C is cold. Navigation screen is basic looking. the touchscreen and buttons around it looks cheap. steering wheel vibrates a bit when you turn or when you are idle and brakes are pressed. steering wheel is also for me, on the heavy side. brakes are good. in fact, i find it better in brake response than my XM Sorento. I didnt expect the ride quality to be that compliant on an isuzu. I'm impressed actually. it may be better or at least par with the montero. I believe it was better.
And yes, the engine is quite lacking compared to the competition. for me that is, because I came from a 190hp 436nm Sorento R before the test drive. of course it would be a world of difference if i drove my L300 before testing. hehe. even the Isuzu peeps there are defensive about it. they wont tell you that it has great power or anything when you asked them about the engine. they keep on telling that it is adequate for city driving, fuel efficient for sure compared to others, we don't need more power in city driving etc. they are aware that it can be considered the achilles heel of the MU-X. they are even bragging it reached 170 on star tollway. but they say the Alterra is faster. I don't know how accurate that is or is it just a 2.5 vs 3.0 thingy without considering their difference in design and turbos. on crawling to light traffic, no problem with the 2.5 VGS. on open roads, there is that feel that the engine is labored. It is hard to keep up with the Montero VGT PIMS test vehicle unit I purposely tailgated for comparison with the MU-X 2.5 VGS at red-line manual shifts. Yes the engine is adequate, but you might want to plan your overtakes ahead and uphills. and it wont give you the sudden kick when you stab the accelerator.
I reserved for the 4X2 A/T.
We are so much disappointed with Isuzu PH. My uncle opt to buy MU-X instead of other brands because its new. However the stocks are limited, they will give you a unit only if you will pay thru in house financing with Isuzu. The interest rate is so high. He has already a bank approval. If he is willing to wait his unit will arrived by January 2015. Lol. Law of supply and demand. Iniipit nila supply. Nice strategy. Lalangawin kayo sa haba ng pila.
