Isuzu Alterra

[robert_rpn]

I test drove the Everest, Fortuner ,Captiva and Alterra recently ( within last two weeks ) The last was the Alterra bec I did not know this car exists until I happen to pass by the showroom at Pasong Tamo - After test driving it, the Alterra was the only car that made me smile - nice ride, comfortable features, sounds. AC i was sold even tho I didnt know at that time about fuel savings and engines yet. - excellent overall SUV - The salesperson at the branch was crappy tho, couldnt answer much.

The Fortuner Salesperson is the best among the bunch, he however admitted there is nothing he can do with the "tagtag" associated with the Fort ( strange comment coming from the salesman ) Captiva is also good, but its like driving a bigger CRV, I find the Everest a bit Tagtag too, but overall is good.

I plan to get one in the next couple of months - just one question. Could owners here tell me what is the fuel consumtion of the matic vs the manual? 10%?

thanks
cheers

Actually bro ganyan din ako sa pagpili ng SUV way back 2005.

My first vote goes to Fortuner for its looks but due to long queue I experienced that time, I have no choice but to look for other SUV’s in the market since I’m in a hurry that time. Then my options narrowed to 2 which were the Alterra and the Everest. Then I have driven both vehicles and was surprised about the ride of the Alterra. There’s a big price difference between the 2 but I didn’t hesitate in choosing the Alterra because of it’s overall performance.

Actually, what I needed that time is a 4x4 but the Alterra is only available in 4x2 back then. Then in the mid of 2006, I convinced my family in buying a Fortuner 4x4 since I really can’t stop looking at it for its beauty. Believe it or not, my excitement in having a Fortuner only lasted a month. Why? Because of the bouncy feel despite of having a spring set up on its rear suspension, Fuel consumption, aircon set up (takes long time to cool the cabin) etc…

My Alterra is almost 3 years already. I’m still enjoying this ride and have no plans of replacing it. Sulit na ko dito.

Nga pala bro regarding sa tanong mo. Sa akin ay A/T and ang FC ay 12km/l.

Sorry at humaba na...

Archie_keenz? edsgail1230? Valerie? We are inviting you to come. It will not consume much of your time. I think our agenda in our first EB is just to know the soon to be members of the club, pictorials and come up with a membership card which can be used in discounts (say car parts, service centers etc...). what do you think guys? Is it good to have this? (I know its kind of difficult to have a discount card but will still try to do it just for the club.

I think it would be best on MAY 30, 3pm becuz on May 31st SM Moa will have the Pyro olympics and for sure, heavy traffic naman yan. So I suggest we meet Friday, May 30, 3pm, new Mcdo at the E-Com bldg beside Sm Hypermart. (Near Fitness First gym). I hope everyone knows the place. See you there!

Bro, na-experience ko iyan not with my Alterra but with my Starex... Yung sa Starex ko after check up naging okay na ulit may be they performed valve adjustments etc during servicing. try to investigate first and if the problem still persists have it check with Isuzu...

Sir Archie,
If the battery is more than 2yrs na, might need to have it replaced. Also check your carkeys if it also need to have the battery replaced. If ok, bring to Isuzu and let them check for electrical problems to be sure. Have you added any new electrical accessory to your alterra? That might be the cause too.
