From where are you, sir?

Pagkakaalam ko walang pila sa Crosswind. Black is a common color for a Sportivo. Malamang meron stock mga dealers.

Just a devil's advocate, why not a manual Fortuner? Its more of an upgrade coming from a Revo.

Oh my, Sportivo?

Coming from a Revo, you'll absolutely hate the Crosswind's ride quality. I suggest that you get another Toyota.

Or the Kia Carens! It's pretty cheap compared to the Sportivo.

I'm from taguig. Saan ba mas maganda kumuha ng Sportivo sa Isuzu Makati or sa Pasig?
Manual Fortuner? Kung gasoline sana siya ok lang kaya lang diesel kasi ayaw ko na mag mainttain ng diesel na toyota..haha...Sa FX diesel pa lng namin noon ang dami laging innayos kaya yun ayaw ko na ng toyota na diesel...
at hindi ko din kaya ang monthly ng fortuner 200k din ang difference ng presyo sa manual na Sportivo eh...sayang din...

That should be a wise choice but since you'd need to wait at least 6 months, waiting until around November before you think of it. As the other guys also posted, there may be some more options to choose from by then.

hehe...ok lang naman yung ride quality ng Sportivo...acceptable naman....hehe....naghihinayang nga ako ibenta yung revo ko eh...kaya lang feeling ko outdated na siya masyado

[renzo_d10]

Carens FTW. :clap:

Medyo luma na rin current Sportivo body accessories lang na-upgrade. Pero ma-appeal pa rin talaga.

ayos lang ba ang Sportivo?ngayon lang kasi ako bibili ng Isuzu na sasakyan...

[Gerbo]

ayos lang ba ang Sportivo?ngayon lang kasi ako bibili ng Isuzu na sasakyan...

If you are looking for a 7-seater that:
-has reliable engine
-low maintenance
-nice accessories

but
-not really powerful and fast
-not really have a smooth ride
-lacks safety features

Matipid. But at more than a million medyo steep ang sticker price.

Still, it sells.

eto lang masasabi ko....ambagal tumakbo ng sportivo and or XUV (same engine lang yan)...other than that, ok na rin para sakin.

[digitel]

Ok naman ang crosswind eh, kung ang hanap mo ay diesel.

Agree ako sa sinasabi na mabagal siya compared to other vehicles, pero hindi naman siya ganun ka kupad. Pang harabas nga ang makina niyan eh. Matibay talaga, medyo outdated nga lang talaga yung looks niya, what variant are you going to get? Yung XT or XTi na lang, basta wag A/T.

Sportivo po kunin ko...pero di ba mabilis din naman diesel kapag naka bwelo na talaga?di ko po kasi masyadong alam diesel ngayon lang ako mag kakaroon ng diesel na sasakyan

[XTO]

Don't forget to take a look at the XTi variant kung decided ka na sa Sportivo. Maganda nga option yung 2.5 Fortuner M/T. Nakita ko sa dyaryo kahapon kasama siya sa promo with the Innova and Avanza. 50% down 18 mos. to pay with 0 interest. Check mo na lang sa dealer.

sir XTO Isuzu Corsswind din ba sasakyan mo? totoo ba na matagtag talaga ang crosswind?

[XTO]

Yes sir, 2001 model Croswind XTO M/T (top of the line that time ) All power options but without the turbo. Matagtag is subjective, kaya better to test drive it. Compare mo yung Sportivo/XUV against the XT/XTi variant and differentiate the suspension as well as the torque / accelation / hatak.

[Horsepower]

Bili ka na lang ng KIA Sorento CRDI (R 2.2L). 200hp pa.

Sportivo is just 80 something hp. Dapat kapresyo lang sya ng Mitsu Adventure (na mas mabilis at mas tahimik ang makina). Loko loko lang kasi ang Isuzu talaga. Inuuto ang mga pinoy.

Ang top speed ng Mitsu Adv mga 130kmh (altho sa speedo 140, i don't think 140 yun talaga). ang Sportivo siguro mga 90-100kmh.

Ang Sorento 220kmh++. 6-speed Automatic pa.

If you're looking to "upgrade" from your Revo to a sportivo, you will be grossly disappointed.

I also own a crosswind,
Pros:

• Tipid talaga sa diesel before when diesel is around 26 -27 pesos, 500 pesos ko umaabot ng 250kms.
• Malaki sya compared sa ibang AUV's.
• Matibay ang pangilalim.
• Madaling imaintain, since wala naman computer box or any complicated electronics, di ka mahihirapan maghanap ng shop na papagawaan mo kung may trouble.
• Maporma parin kahit medyo old school na, dami pang accessories.
• di naman issue ang speed, as i can drive up to 145km/hr in NLEX and
  SCTex nakakatakot na nga lang yung ganung speed.
• Ang lakas ng Aircon.

Cons:

• Matagtag talaga.
• Maingay ang makina para kang may NKR na truck.
• Lakas ng vibration feeling mo galing ka sa masahe after ng ilang oras na drive.
• di ganun kalambot ang manibela, I dont know if its just my crosswind or ganiun talaga.
• Walang safety feature, not even a 3pt. seat belt sa middle row seat. ABS, EBD, Airbags? Look somewhere else you wont find it in Crosswind/Sportivo.

I'm sure marami pang pros and cons, but I think the important thing is yung alam talaga ng bibili ang gusto nya sa sasakyan, dapat clear ang purpose ng vehicle and yung priority features.
