isuzu crosswind 2012.. comments

comments... on the new model out on the market

[niky]

Ride is marginally better than before, power is a little better, fuel economy is still good, and there are more toys in the new Sportivo, BUT:

The engine is still smoky
The chassis is still ancient and unrefined
The forward-facing third row is nearly useless compared to the older side-facing seats
The brakes are still underpowered and still lack ABS
The high end models are overpriced. You can simply buy a midrange model and fit the luxuries from outside and get yourself a better sound system

[OTEP]

Drives just like the 2010 model I was driving around in today.

It's a great car if they released it in 1986.

Midrange models are the value leaders. High end models just seem to defy logic as to who would plunk down that kind of cash for technology this old.

According to some Isuzu friends, people in the provinces and OFW's. I don't know what they meant by that.

Ganito siguro yon: An uncle of my friend bought one as soon as he arrived the country after his sea duty contract (He is a seaman) dahil matibay daw ang isuzu. After comparison of the price and features as will as "power under the hood" against other SUV in the market now I heard that he want to sell the unit & upgrade to other brand. Too fast, too late yata for him to realize.

Welll... the one thing you can say is that you're never going to have a major mechanical problem that is too hard to fix. The thing is, it's getting increasingly difficult to use the car in the metro due to the attention it gets from ASBU. The quick fix for that is to wash out your exhaust to remove carbon soot every week.

Strangely, the new turbo models seem to be more smoke belchy than my 220,000 km old naturally aspirated truck. Or maybe my fuel filter is clogged, which is why it's not dumping excessive fuel into the exhaust...

The unit i was using today does belong to an ofw. Hehe. So i guess isuzu is hitting their target. My cousin's fiance is a typical probinsyana. She drives a crosswind also.

Grabe ka naman mag stereotype doc! Hehehehe!

My biyenan also drives an XL. She lives in a city....Tacloban City. )

sa province kasi namin sikat ang crosswind... mostly ofw owner

[duramax_994]

For us here whose family background has experience with cars and trucks for the last 20 years or so, then its a no-brainer..

It's not sterotyping, its a sad fact. A lot of us filipinos are compulsive buyers. Medyo kulelat talaga mga taga probinsya in terms of information, as well as OFWs investing their FIRST family car/truck in their entire lives.. Kumbaga many OFWs and their families are newbies in the auto industry. Siguro bka blessing in disguise din sa kanila yan coz ang crosswind di masyado mahal sa maintenance..

[OTEP]

Oist hindi ako nag stereotype nun. Sinabi lang sakin and i just corellated it with people i know who bought xwinds. Hehe.

[KIANTOT]

Siguro karamihan nga OFW's live in the province at satisfy sila sa performance ng crosswind, kahit ako yan din ang no.1 choice ko noon among the AUV's, sa isang dealer meron kase siyang 3 AUV's na available kaso lang naunahan ako, pero satisfied naman ako sa nakuha kong AUV hanggang ngayon. mabilis naman ang crosswind (manual) basta marunong lang yung driver paano pabilisin

[kompressor]

Yung ginagamit kong XL and XTi ok naman ang performance per se as far as hatak and even the aircon pero nung nakahawak na ako ng XUV, parang ang laki ng difference ng braking tsaka hatak. Buti sana kung yung nilaki and tinaas niya, meron ding nilaki sa loob pero wala eh.

I am the type of driver who usually rests my right hand on the shifter pero sa crosswind, natuto akong maghanap ng ibang lugar na paglalagyan (like sa hita ng girl na nasa passenger side :D) kasi ibang klase talaga ang vibration. Malayo compared sa diesel na Revo.

And yes kahit anong gawin ko, it smokes even on idle kahit nasa operating temperature na. Siguro hanggang ganun lang talaga ang emission standard na kaya ng 4JA1.

Overpriced.. overpriced... overpriced... at overpriced ang 2012 Isuzu Crosswinds!!!

I own a 2003 Isuzu Crosswinds... 100% satisfied...Matibay talaga... Matipid sa krudo....Maraming cheap na replacement parts. In short wala ako reklamo over the past 9 years na ride ko. Taas pa ng resale value... I got my unit P850,000.00 way back in 2003. Current resale value range is P450,000.00 to P475,000.00. Less than 50% Depreciation for a 9 Year Old unit.

Pero sa current price na P1.27M ng Model 2012.... Sa Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Montero or Hyundai Santa Fe na ako... mas mukha kang class mag pa valet parking sa mga 5 Star Hotels.

Kung ang Model 2012 ay nasa range lang ng P850K to P900K baka Trade-In ko current unit ko for the 2012 Model.

overpriced ... eh the question is bakit ang dami pa rin bumibili nito.. even over priced xah...

san pong price yung 1.270 m.... kasi last december s bmd hindi pa umabot ng ganyang price yung automatic nila kasi sa intelco

depende din yan sa dealer

Kaya kuwidaw lang kayo mga bros.,- iyan ang peborit na parahin ng mga smoke-belcher testers/apprehenders sa intersection ng C5 at Kalayaan.... Kahit modelong Crosswind,- pinapara nila...

Mga Sirs, what do you think would be the 2nd best choice after isuzu crosswind? some of my doubts kasi were confirmed after reading this thread. TIA

[abduljhacull]

good pm mga boss. may makukuha bang crosswind sa halagang 250? ok lang kht all manual salamat and godbless

[OTEP]

1.250m ang sportivo automatic. They can gibe an additional 15k off but you still pay for registration, insurance, and delivery (if applicable).

Not sure also if isuzu agents try to sell you rustproofing or whatever prior to purchase.

[raphnext21]

sa kuha namin ... yung mt poh ... the original price 1.170m .. with the registration and insurance ... pumalo ng 1.183m with accessories .. fender sa hud, gutter, tail light chrome, sa interior naman yung cover...

[OTEP]

Tiga Isuzu ang nagsabi nun. And there is nothing inherently wrong about migrant workers. Even most forumers, including me, did not originally come from Metro Manila.

I guess what is insulting is the manufacturer thinks we will buy anything they sell because it has the holy isuzu badge on it.
