Better detials of the selection process in this motioncars article:

Wouldn't it be nice to know the identities of all 64 models which went thru the 4-day technical trials?

I remember Tessa's interview for that article. She's one of the coolest people around, and glad to be able to work with her from time to time, She may not be as big a gearhead as some, but she's very hardworking and does her research very carefully when writing.

Sir niky was one of the test drivers for this event. As an insider, he has a lot of solid inputs in the remarks portion of tgp that may settle some doubts here.

Hehe... ayoko na... andaming nagsisigawan "BAYARAN" sa Facebook... hehe. Oh well... can't please everybody!

I am on the technical team that handles the track tests in the background, but I wasn't a voting judge. From what I saw during tech testing, the right cars won each segment (honest, personal opinion!) only argument is overall winner... but that's the way the scoring works out. Would have liked Mazda3 to win overall... sayang.

Actually, I was rooting for an upset in the cheaper classes by BYD or Haima... ...just to see how pissed off the "anti-China" crowd would be!

Still, the Chinese cars do get closer and closer every year. In years past, we had to be very careful during the tech tests (pag minsan, full mechanical inspection kailangan before each test). Nowadays, it's just like taking your Civic to the track. Kick the tires, adjust the seat, and you're off.

With some of them, long term reliability nalang ang tanong... and that can't be answered at COTY, anyway.

Regarding the MU-X, I can say for sure that it would have done well against the Fort or Montero... but would probably have lost against the Trailblazer, depending on whether the scoring for price versus speed worked out in favor of Isuzu or Chevy.

Personally, if I had the money for a 1.4-1.5m variant, little can touch the "blazing" Trailblazer 4x2 AT. But if you're going for lower end models, I'd pick the MU-X LS-M any time. Hell, gawa sila ng "Low-rider" version na manual na cheaper pa... di na kailangan ng Crosswind.

Of course, I'm an Isuzu fan, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Will be getting our plates tomorrow after three months. May charge po kaya yung installation sa dealer? Or I may opt install it at home? Though I'm not sure if the bolts are from LTO, as I've read somewhere they provide temporary bolts untill the "tamper proof" ones arrive which will need a special tool.

Guys, i one of the mu-x (matic) buyers who are on the waiting list, just want to share my thoughts here. Based on my readings and in various forums, many are saying that that the mu-x is underpowered in its class.

I came from an innova d4d and said car really served me well, its a 2006 model and untill now it runs really well, this question begs me if the mu-x runs well compared to the innova (accelaration and speed wise).

This may sound a no-brainer because i am comparing apples to oranges, a 102hp auv to a 136hp suv, but i dont care if the mu-x is underpowered compares to other suvs in its class, for as long as i can be assured in theory and in actual case that indeed the mu-x performs better than the innova. Thanks mga bossing..

Having driven a 2012 Innova for a few times, I can attest that the Mu-x performs better than the Innova.

Haha I know, was just asking inputs from other mu-X owners if they got their plates already. Thanks for replying though.

Kaya nga yung judgment ko sa kanya, nung una pa lang, talagang nasa Goldilocks zone sya. Shoot sa lahat ng criteria: engine, body, handling, safety kits, tech, pati pricing. Swak na swak talaga.

Congratz talaga to all the new owners!

[simon16f]

sa mga MUX 4x2 AT owners ano po ba yung model ng HU ntin, kasi mag hahanap sana ako dito sa labas ng pinas na compatible na tpms sensor... maraming salamat po..

[enterbay]

Has anyone here compared the MU-X vs the incoming All New Everest 2015?

For now, the MUx is a certainty. The Everest is still a blur...

[takeshiyeung]

m/t or a/t sa inyo sir at what rpm pag 160 kmh?

mine is a/t, and rpm reach almost 4k pag 160 kmh

[takeshiyeung]

guys, pogi ng mux pag naka 24" na magwheeels

[HUMABOL KA]

mine is a/t, and rpm reach almost 4k pag 160 kmh

kung a/t sir bat parang ang taas ata kung almost 4k na is that in 5th gear? kc may nag post na ng pic dto na umabot ng 160 kmh a/t din pero 3k rpm pa lang at 5th gear?

[Newcomer123]

mine is a/t, and rpm reach almost 4k pag 160 kmh

Redline is around 4200 rpm. Power band drops steeply at that rpm, thus you gain nothing but a highly stressed engine and tranny

You might WANT to keep this down several hundred notches, within max power at 3400, make that your rev limit...

Be safe. You'd like your vehicle to last now, wouldn't you?

Ano pinakamalaki wheels pwede magkasya sa mu-x?
