Welcome!

I have an XUVi myself since 2003. Of course, the SPORTIVO is better since it goes with bucket seats already, AV jack with inverter, front facing 3rd row seat to name a few.

Moreover, the ENGINE! I got mine mainly for that reason.... the ENGINE.

You can't go wrong with it.... GO FOR IT!

sana maglabas ang isuzu ng SPORTIVO with the new i-TEQ engine (kahit 2.5L or 3.0L displacement) para maging Euro-3 compliant na!

The Sportivo is an AUV, therefore you should compare it with similar AUVs like the Toyota REVO, and the Mitsubishi Adventure Grand Sport - both of which are now phased out. So it would seem you really don't have much choices left in the AUV market.

But then, if both its competitors are still in production, the Sportivo is still a good buy. It is roomier than the Adventure Grand Sport and the diesel engine kicks ass. You can also save a lot of fuel per kilometer on this high-end Crosswind. The steering is a little heavier compared to Toyota Revo, but you'll live with that. And the 3rd row seat in the Sportivo is a little more comfortable compared to the Adventure Grand Sport, so its a plus.

One thing i did not like about Sportivo is its default black leather upholstery. It gives you a Darth Vader look-and-feel. I would have wanted it to be more family-oriented color like beige or light gray. But i think Isuzu can change the leather colors for you at an additional cost.

In summary, the Sportivo is a fine wheels to buy. My opinion, of course.

*Benzmizer - sir how about the Egine, ok ba? i mean kasi they say that the engine of isuzu are noisy and malakas ang vibration.lastaly about the maintainance kasi diba diesel dumi ng usok.

but then again i guess they slowly fixin the issues about that engine cons. like this 2005 model, i hope na hindi ganun ka noisy and kalakas ang vibrate ng engine.

yung isuzu crosswind 2007 may mga ganito pa rin bang problema sa muffler na napuputol at yung problema sa clutch?

Supposedly, wala na yung muffler problem. Iba na yata yung exhaust design.

As for the clutch... typical naman yun sa driving namin... all traffic... that 110,000 kilometers was something like 80% traffic. Our first clutch was replaced at 40k kms (we suspect the driver was clutch-driving it), but the new one has lasted 70k kms and is still good.

Yung muffler problem ng Xwind wala na. About sa kalawang naman nasa pag-aalaga lang yan, depende sa may-ari.

Sa AT na Xwind baka magkaproblema ka at ibenta mo din agad sobrang bagal ng AT niyan. Mag MT ka na lang kung gusto mo.
