Isuzu Alterra

[marv0083]

the design of alterra is so-so i just dont like the side profile yung arching pillar sa dulo parang gusto ko lagyan ng black material to hide that....

aside from that its quite oks sa looks and another negative sa alterra is the 3rd row seat parang umuupo ka na sa tabla sana man lang may ginawang kaunting foot weel maybe 1/2 feet oks na

Para po dun sa nag post ng Alterra sa "Toyota Dealership woes" thread, dito po kayo mag post.

Grabe... ang lalim na nito ah.

May taga-Tsikot na bumili na ng Alterra??? Anyone? Don't be shy...

I dont own an alterra but I just would like to share my short test drive experience with it.

I finally test drove the alterra after going to the toyota wonderland at the WTC last week(Isuzu Manila offered a test drive inside their compound and its only "atras-avante" thing last june).

First of all, the 3rd row seat is very very cramped, plus its very hard to get into it. Manual tranny is........hey! that sucks!Shifting is very hard even if you step on the clutch fully. Ride is bouncy!!! Cabin is noisy specially on uneven roads and light pot holes. I tried seating on the middle seat which is as hard as an ironing board and i couldnt take it.


Thats what I experienced and thats my opinion.

Sir, do you have some figures to help us evaluate the vehicle objectively? For example, nearly all vehicles would be cramped for Yao Ming but even a mini-cooper would be spacious to a midget. I am curious regarding the ride quality of Alterra because your friend MBT evaluated it as "boaty..." which indicates that the suspension is soft. Many people also said the same thing regarding Land Cruiser (LC80) and Ford Expedition. For the middle seat just fold it and use it as armrest. Did you notice a cup holder at the back?

meron po alterra d2 samin my bannga ang bumper!

the alterra looks good in the back side. I've experienced this myself while I was driving next to one, sinundan ko pa ng matagal kasi gandang-ganda ako sa likod nya, pero the sides dont do justice talaga. it's like a D-Max with Fibre Glass lang
unlike the Fortuner kahit alam mong Hilux ang harapan, SUV talaga ang dating at par with the Pajeros, Explorers, Patrol. and not a pickup-based SUV.

There was this one time in traffic, two vehicles in front of me were a Black Fortuner Diesel & two-tone Silver Blue Pajero Fieldmaster. walang sinabi yun Pajero sa design ng Fortuner and in fact, mas mataas pa yun Fortuner. am just wondering why late model used fieldmasters today are being sold at more than 1M pa din, tingin ko mahirapan na talaga ibenta yun mga yun.

Agree ako. Maganda naman Alterra... from behind.

Guys, 200kph top speed of 3.0 D4D Fortuner. Check this out: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...896#post418896

horexen,

the 3rd row is spacious but very uncomfortable. the suspension feels soft when driving it and the body will roll liberally when cornering, even at moderate speeds. the ride isn't bad, a little bit of bouncing and bobbing that you wouldn't mind, but bumps send the body structure shivering.

cardo,

the highest number printed on the speedometer dial is hardly indicative of the actual top end of the vehicle hehehe

[Automahn]

Sir mbt, how does the Alterra's acceleration and ride compare with the D-Max? TY.

[cardo]

haha... dapat kase matest drive natin yan sa SLEX hehehe.

would 200kph would be a good number? hmmm only 1 way to find out

[Psalm136:2]

Keep it coming guys. This is the only way we can get more info on Alterra. Ewan ko, totoo nga yatang mahiyain ang mga Alterra owners that they're too quiet, or they're just being too modest? Hehehe.

[andre]

If there's too many negative comment about the vehicle. No Alterra owners would ever post.

[kwoshunli]

Hi all,

I own 2007 model alterra

[rdboy]

Hi everyone! I have a question.
Binabaklas ba interior mouldings sa likod ng alterra if you are going to have your aircon cleaned/serviced? Right side ng 3rd row seat? TIA

[jefsan]

Yes. (see diagram below)



Hope this helps.

*Benzmizer,

Looks like you have a lot of detailed info about the Alterra and Dmax, where did you get them? Is there a website? Are you familiar with putting the wood paneling stickers on the ac ducts and the transmission area? Do you know who and where I can have those installed in Manila?
Many thanks for the info.
