Crosswind's achilles heel

[cj]

thank u ser jeep!

[mazdamazda]

can you guys comment on the acceleration of the crosswind?

from what I've read in C!, they were making fun of the acceleration of the crosswind.

although I've seen XTOs topping out at 120kph.

yun ang akala ng C...

hehehe

ang bilis po ng XTO ko more power...nakikipag sabayan ako sa big body rolla every morning...sa fren ko...everyday 120-130kph kami...tapos drag pa kami sa red light...laging hataw...pag misan napapa kamot nalang fren ko pagnagkita kami sa parking lot hehehe...5am kasi work namin...laging naghahabol ng oras :D...hirap gumising ng maaga

di ko pa alam sa mga crosswind big body (XUV, XTRM...)...pag misan kasi pinag lalaruan ko sila...hahabolin ko and then lalampasin ahihihi...bad si jeep cruizer

OT na ba ito? Anyway.....

Kaya nga ng XTO ko 120 pero usual top speed ko is 115 along macapagal Hi way. Kapos na sa road. Same with jeepcruisin, di rin naman papahuli XTO, mine is an a/t pero ang lakas ng engine kaya kung tama lang ang rev, tama ang shifting nya, kayang mauna sa arangkada.

Our XTO a/t has also gone up to 120 before (had no chance to drive it on the expressway yet since we got it). Usual happy crusing speed is at the 80-100kph range... If you floor her, it takes a while to go past 110kph.

The XTRM a/t and higher variants will be more sluggish indeed due to their larger tires and the diff final drive ratio (higher?).

[mazdamazda]

OT na ba ang question ko? dba crosswind's achille's heel ang topic?

yung C! kasi ang na test drive ay yung XUV version... baka nga mas mabagal dahil sa bigger tires... according to them hindi daw match yung tires sa vehicle... porma lang daw...

yup... XTOs lang ang nakikita kong mabilis umarangkada... wala pa akong nakikitang XUV na mabilis tumakbo...

hmmm .. humaba na ng husto to thread na to :D

pwede pa rin namang i-consider na achilles heel ng crosswind .. yung slow acceleration. sabi nga dun sa review sa C! (m*tioncars.com ba yun? )
" The automatic (he was referring to the XUV A/T) may save you from the rubbery manual gearshift, but it will subject you to being passed by Kia Prides. " :D
sa rekta..mabilis din ang XUV's. ewan ko lang sa arangkada... si master ranie a.k.a. boknoyxtrm2001 ang makakasagot nyan. pero for both xto or xuv.. i think we'll top out at 140-150 KPH on level ground. I've reached that speed once; RPM was at 39000-4000. Si jondy napaabot nya daw 160 kph past redline (4250 on our odo) with assistance of gravity going down a long stretch of road (tama ba jonds?)
pero shempre... alang laban sa gas fed at sa turbo boosted diesels ang xwind.
as far as i'm concerned... the xwind is fast enough for me. hirap lang sa quick overtakes ..pero buti na yun, meron speed delimiter kumbaga so i'm forced drive cautiously :D

boss Jeepcruizerph,

parang kilala kita hehehe

[mazdamazda]

kaya nga ako nagtataka sa review ng C! (iba yan sa motioncars)... ngayon ko lang napagtanto na yung XUV pala ang nirereview nila... kaya siguro mabagal... kasi nga mabibilis ang XTO na nakakasabay ko... may mga kargada pang paseho ang mga yun...
