Isuzu I-Van Test Drive Report

[Ry_Tower]

There's a reason why you wont be seeing Isuzu Trucks in some big companies soon. Its because they require all service vehicles to have ABS and airbags. Clue. Petroleum companies. Hehe.

Napansin ko nga yan sa mga petroleum tankers dito sa amin, puro Supergreat yung mga bago.

ahhh kaya pala! yung mga taga hila ng tanker ngayon is either MAN,Volvo and Mercedes.....

Some also require daytime running lights. Wala din ganun ang isuzu.

Temp-banned already. Hasn't learned his lesson.

His only aim here is to keep making this thread longer and longer to build up interest in the vehicle and to bury any criticism of the I-Van under a ton of his senseless posts. For that reason alone, he ought to be banned.

Okay then, let's slowly delete his post. I don't mind.

oo kc.. ung experience mu, maliit n porsyento lng yan kesa s mga satisfied na isuzu owners.. since nga ms madami isuzu owners na ok n ok, ms mdami di bilib sa mitsubishi..,etc.., they can be gud,,but isuzu can build better trucks becoz its der expertis.. especially disel engines... o bkit, aq wla nga aq trucking company, pero bt karamihan nman sa isuzu owners ok n ok nmn s kanila?at ms problemado cla sa mitsubishi trucks? huh? nsa group cla ng daimler ag ung mitsubishi fuso(Daimler AG (Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner Trucks, Unimog, Western Star, Mitsubishi Fuso)..toyota grup hino motors db?gya ng sabi mo truck nila hino... bilb din aq jans a hino pre..

PS: Kahit ilang beses mo ibida yang payload payload payload payload payload ng i-ban na yan, pang kargahan lang ng gamit yan at hindi pang TAO. Ang 10 wheeler na dump truck, super laki and bigat ng payload capacity. Magsasakay ka ba ng tao sa isang dump truck na nilagyan ng passenger cabin sa loob?

PPS: Again, good luck sa sales niyo. Kung gusto niyo gumanda ang perception ng tao sa over-pricing niyo, ayusin niyo na lang ang amenities ng Crosswind Sprotivo (lagyan ng airbags and similar amenities na meron yung mga mas murang Innova at Adventure) at yun ang lagyan ng 4JB1-TC na makina with matching transmission na tama ang gearing for a passenger AUV, imbes na pilitin itago ang napakaraming sakit ng i-ban sa self-proclaimed "number 1" banner niyo.

o nga mr kompressor... i tink isuzu is workng out n s mga negative coments ng i-van.. kht aq prehas kmi ng koment ng kramihan... khit gyahin nlng nla ung seat configuration ng urban na 2 front facing na apatan.. tapos 6x6 na side facing s likod..pra 23 seater at least... syang kc laki ng payload kesa sa L300/kia panoramic/h100/HI ACE...tpos sliding door, higher body ground clearance.... mukang mgnda nman ung arcon nla eh..

ung d-max lng ata at alterra my airbags...ang ms ok gawin nla sa crosswind, lakihan nila ng konti kaha ng XL/XT at ms lakihan payload.. tama lng ung timing geared-pure direct injection... tapos sna puro side facing sa likod at my extension ung passenger side ng driver pra pwde 3 sa harap hehe... pwde pdin pmpasada hehe.. pre ung 4JB1 pang light duty truck na N-series un.. d kya mgkproblema pg nilagay sa crosswind un?although pwd nila subukan.. ung crosswind kc pinakabagay n auv eh... khit nga ung xuv/sportivo/xmax edition eh.. compared sa innova na more of pang car lng.. hndi tlg sya bagay gwin pamasada(oldow my pailan ilan aq nkkta sa daan na innova express)...ung adventure more of pang family sya na auv.... pra kc ms built sya sa speed and comfort(btw msrap sumakay sa adventure kesa s inova.. hands down aq jan)khit s crosswind... ms comfort sumakay sa adventure.. mbilis at tahimk... pero kc ung crosswind ms bagay png praktikal na pampasada tlg

Mondragon,

Pumunta ka sa office ng Shell at nang malaman mo ang requirements nila sa fuel hauler. Hindi ka na nakakatulong sa discussion. Sinabi ko bang lahat? Even Shell employees cannot get a company car loan if the model the employee will get doesnt have airbag and abs.

Punta ka sa Pandacan oil depot. Upo ka lang dun at tignan mo kung anong klaseng trucks na lang ang may depot access. Minsan makikita mo din ako dun. Im not hard to find kasi naka visitor id ako. Hindi naman scrapped lahat ng existing units but new ones should already comply with their safety requirements.

Other oil companies are expected to follow suit. Caltex is already phasing in safer trucks as part of their safety on the road campaign. Sad fact remains, Isuzu does not offer a single truck model in their local line up to meet new regulations being phased in.

Honestly, I have seen less than 10 iVans sa kalsada. Unang kita nito I thought it was a Foton MPX sa likod yun pala iVan.

Filipino consumers are not that dumb (although some remain). Feature wise, dapat mas mababa ito sa P1.3M and if they want to keep it competitive and make it a serious option, improve the build quality, place a powerful engine, and forgo the drum brakes!

[kompressor]

Sadly, hindi na nga siya nakakatulong sa discussion eh lalo pang sumasama ang image ng iban dahil sa posts niya. Imagine, people here are being very objective about its pros and unfortunately, its cons that outweigh the pros. Tapos simpleng rules like text-speak, sadyang ayaw niya sundin leaving the impression tuloy na Isuzu fanboys are uneducated jejemons.

[OTEP]

Yeah. Ok naman ang ibang agents/forumers dito.

Minsan mas nakakabenta pa when they are up front about their products' shortcomings.

[IMm29]

*myk384,
Haven't seen one on the road yet. Where have you seen them?

[IMm29]

ahhh kaya pala! yung mga taga hila ng tanker ngayon is either MAN,Volvo and Mercedes.....

I know Chevron/Caltex has safety requirements for their haulers, which is probably why I see new Volvo trucks (trailerheads) on the road occasionally but then I have not been to Pandacan/Jesus St. lately, so I didn't think it was fully implemented.

[OTEP]

Shell has the requirements on the whole fleet including employees personal vehicles of you will loan it from the company car plan.

Caltex aint too crazy about safety so im also not sure of the phase in. But at least the hauling companies are anticipating it bu switching to safer trucks already.

[myk384]

*myk384,

I have seen one (yung unang sighting sa tapat ng Universal Robina office sa C5. Then the rest (feeling ko same model) sa terminal ng FX sa Pasig. Tapos randomly sa Makati.

Ah ok. Hehehe! I work in Makati, but haven't seen any yet.

Safety is actually high on Caltex/Chevron's list. Their contracts might just allow for a longer time frame on deployment.

isuzu maybe slower than hi ace ambulance.... noisier kasi nga truck based... not too much comfortable against urvan ambulance or hi ace ambulance.. but lets give this truck van a chance... malay natin pg naayos n nila ung sliding doors nila at foldable seats eh pumatok din at mkacompete sa ibang van ang ivan... hndi naman china brand yan para pg dudahan mr Imm29
