Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

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.

My cousin has an XUV. He says the engine is great and responsive (doesnt vibrate that much daw), both front seat heard support are equipped with LCD monitors, seats are in black leather. only drawback is that because its an AUV, rear suspension is leaf springs. matagtag daw.
In my opinion, for a very small price difference, I would go for the innova too, you will get the same engine performance with a more comfortable ride.
