what can you say about ISUZU PHIL. TODAY??? :nonono:

[cnxpr08]

For me wala na talagang improvement ang ISUZU PHIL, lalo na sa engines nila.
ISUZU TODAY SUCKS LIKE A JURASSIC TRUCKS!!!

[PATSYS50]

When I bought my Alterra, I have not really made any in depth research. All I know is that Isuzu engines have the reputation of being reliable and fuel efficient. And these are still true.

However, there are lots of things that other car models have that I wished I also have in my Alterra. Namely:

Audio control on the steering wheel
Automatic scroll up of power windows
Alarm (I can have installed, at my own cost).

And of course, if you compare the power and torque of the engines, Isuzu is way down the list (except for those Alterra in Thailand and Australia - and this is even more annoying for me).

When it is time to replace my Alterra, I will probably go for Santa Fe.

Improvement - meron naman, aesthetics usually. :hysterical:

Sucks? I beg to disagree. ;) Though their engines are slow, jurassic and noisy. They are still damn durable.

You can have the option to not buy an Isuzu if you're after for speed. There are other diesel-fed engines that can supply your thirst for it. You buy an Isuzu because you want to be assured that your car will run even on very dirty diesels.

Not true for Alterra.

[renzo_d10]

Not true for Alterra.

I'm talking about the Crosswind.

The Alterra uses a more complex engine.

Not many would buy the Alterra anyway. Expensive. Looks like a hearse. & doesn't give any wowing features.

what can you say about ISUZU PHIL. TODAY?

laking tulong sa mga filipino sa labor, locally assemble na ang engine ng crosswind and D-max sa planta sa binan, laguna, japan and thailand parts, tsunami sa japan stop production, then baha naman sa thailand stop production again.

In reality pag bumili ka ng Isuzu product or kahit ibang brand pag ginamit mo nayan wala na silang pakialam diyan ikaw na ang mangangalaga diyan, bihira naman yun nasisira during the warranty period, pag ibinangga mo matutuwa pa ang dealer kasi my gagawin na sila magbabayad ka ng participation fee, kung my comprehensive insurance ka...

Mas gusto ko sta.fe kaso mas mahal daw tapos hyundai,dito kc sa mindanao pangit parin ang dating ng hyundai,tsk2.
Pur0 nlng m0ntero at f0rtUner,but i cant blame them,sa mga lugar at daan dito,nid tlga ng mga jurassic cars & trucks. Hahaha

[cnxpr08]

*patsys

BTT: IMHO D-Max na lang ang maganda sa Isuzu

[cnxpr08]

*marion2

kaso wla dito sa pinas yung 3.0itech vgt correct me if im wrong pero wla dito yung magandang dmax :D
ewan ko lng if may 4x2 dito sa pinas na sta. fe yung sa casa kc puro a/t ewan ko lng sa grey markets if they have the m/t variants

[tidus1203]

Pang THIRD WORLD na lang sila. Wala ng innovation.

[acergy09]

yes!yes!yes!!thanks Isuzu.....I like old school,napakadali kasing i maintenance...

[Sportivo 7]

For me, I still patronize Isuzu products. Sometimes "beauty'" is unseen.It could be deep within. The price , no comments, its warranted. Designing precision components to achieve durability, longevity and performance is no cheap approach. Because Isuzu cares...as I said, kahit commented as "old school, old design" hanga pa rin ako! Yet, kahit ganun ang products nila..macho pa rin ang dating. Finally , ISUZU PHIL today never changed the engineered-class image since day one!

[GTi]

For the good points, Isuzu makes some of the most durable and fuel efficient diesels in the country. It would be hard to find an engine of another brand that can take in more mileage than these. They are very generous when it comes to entertainment systems, even in their trucks. Also, they give the most number of variants. For example, it is pretty hard to find an SUV variant with a 3.0L engine, RWD drivetrain and a manual transmission.

But then, Isuzu used to be on the forefront of diesel technology, being the first to introduce commonrail technology to the Philippine market and have direct injected diesel engines across their whole range of vehicles. But today, they have not improved from that point. There hasn't been a single all new model since the Alterra came out in 2005, and it has also been this long that they haven't brought out a new engine since the 4JJ1-TC that came with it. They overpriced the Crosswind (can't say the same about the Alterra and D-Max) like it was made of gold even though it doesn't have any safety features besides seatbelts, has a nonexistent crash structure, an engine that can be heard from a mile away and yet runs like the snails of automobiles.

I hope that they will introduce a proper SUV that can really succeed the Trooper, and not an ASEAN only pickup with an extended roofline. An SUV with 4 wheel disc brakes, independent suspension fore and aft and a thoroughly modern drivetrain.

Yung engine kaya ng Alterra and engine ng Crosswind magkasinglevel when it comes to durability and longevity?

Hmm~ Si bro hinDMaxsiado dapat ang may sagot diyan. Todong paggamit niya sa 4JJ1 engine, and he was head over heels in love in it. So I should conclude that the 4JJ1 is indeed a good, long serving engine. Pero may Alterra or 4JJ1 D-Max owner na nakalog ng over 150000kms?

Arte nyo naman.. kala nyo naman napakaganda ng sta fe eh kalampagin din naman..Ang bilis pa mag depreciate ang prices pag nagtagal.. tsaka basehan man sa mauusok mas mausok parin ang 4d56 or mga makina ng adventure o kaya mga makina ng pajero.. kung gusto nyo pabilisin ung crosswind nyo upgredan ninyo ng turbo or kung nakakalampagan kau sa xwind nyo palitan nyo ng gas type ung shocks nyo at panitrogen nyo ung gulong nyo gaya ng ginawa ko sa xwind ko.. Tsaka depende yan sa pag aalaga ng sasakyan yan.. Bigyan nyo xa ng kelangan nya tsak mabibigyan din nya kau ng kelangan mo..

[cnxpr08]

meron bang isuzu sedan dito pinas???
sana nman gumawa kahit mini isuzu or wagon,hehehe tapos diesel engine fc=30km/l
hp=3++

w/EBD,ABS,airbags,traction control name it basta lahat ng safety features
sure bibili aq pagmeron esp pag mini.
"wish ko lang"

Some americans still keep their diesel chevette (Gemini U.S. version) in their garage and still in good running condition.
