Sobrang tipid niya sa Gas nakarating ako ng Cubao from Alabang na wala masyadong nabawas sa fuel gauge from Full tank and nakarating pa ako ng Tagaytay with the same fuel (siyempre in between may mga practice drives ako since from MT ako galing eh para makabisado yung AT pero hangang ATC lang hahaha or pa ikot ikot lang sa loob ng Village) na ngalahati lang siya nung bumalik na ako ng Cubao tapos dinala namin siya sa Nueva Ecija on that day as well di ko na masyado matandaan kung ilan yung nabawas sa fuel gauge eh. Gusto ko sana icompare yung fuel consumption niya sa XT Crosswind namin eh pero hindi siya justifiable hahaha since 12 years old na yung crosswind namin old engine na.

Ang issue ko lang siguro is yung seating compared sa Crosswind namin maraming masasakay and tapos yung "Back Trunk" pag hindi kasi naka drop down yung last 2 chairs wala ka masyadong malalagay sa likod. Pero pag binagsak mo na yung last row medyo spacious naman; na OOC lang ako sa itsura nung likod kasi hindi siya totally flat. Yung cooler namin hahaha nadudulas sa likod nung nag punta kami ng Nueva Ecija, obligado ka lagyan ng Backliner matting para hindi dumulas yung mga ilalagay mong items.

Tapos yung usual na sakit ng mga malalaking SUV is yung ang laki ng blindspot mo pag nag rereverse ka soo need mo talaga mag palagay ng Rear cam or maybe ako lang yun hahaha sa Crosswind kasi namin hindi ako hirap umatras eh. Yun lang naman.

Thank you for your feedbacks po.

Reliability is the strength of Isuzu

Pero what i read online, some people change their oil around 300 to 500km pa lang and based on their reviews, daming metal shavings.

Hi! May I ask paanong metal shavings? Sa used engine oil ba nakita? TIA.

So far, at 800+ kms, ang issue sa amin is the Head Unit na remained stuck sa home screen after 46 days and is awaiting warranty replacement. Buti nalang, dealer installed ang reverse cam and sensor. Kaya caution dyan sa naka under warranty na Isuzu Mu-X/DMax owners, maraming ganitong kaso as per the dealer designated service personnel (sya lang taga ayos ng Isuzu/Honda/Hyundai etc na head units) sa probinsya namin so ingat sa 3rd party installation.

We bought our base Mu-X last 21Nov and the only gripe is with the dealer. Just because I think we took thru Metrobank w/ 40%DP, siningil kmi bigla ng PhP14K for LTO registration. Unfortunately si misis nakipag usap initially and she can't fully recall kng nabanggit nga. We have paid our DP thru the manager pero sa releasing siningil kmi ng ahente. And since this was our 4th time to purchase a new car, we didn't expect na sisingilin kmi ng LTO reg.

The after sales treatment sa Isuzu dealer na ito is the worst we've encountered. After 2 months (60days to be excat), naningil pa ulit ang ahente ng PhP1800 TPL

para daw sa LTO dahil di raw kasama sa free comprehensive insurance from the bank. Kung hindi pa namin naifollowup yung status ng registration, di pa kmi sasabihan. Sa bwisit na dealer na ito, ang buyer pa ang maya't maya tatawag para sa updates. Anyway, nakipag talo na kmi at na escalate na sa manager and hopefully they'll give us our registration soon (without us paying 1800). Isa pa yang Isuzu Philippines, ang hirap ma contact. Mabuti pa treatment sa ibang dealer ng ibang brand with the other previously bought cars purchased cash/thru bank, ramdam mo customer service.

Very minute metal shavings bro. They had to check it using microscope pa.

It happens due to the engine's tight clearance when bnew. It'll loosen up din.

sorry to hear dad bro, medyo na iinis na nga rin ako sa SA namin HAHAHA techincally dalawa SA namin kasi as i mentioned on my first post here sinubukan naming Bumili ng MU-X sa Q.C Ave branch pero dahil 2 months na silang walang unit we switched to Alabang the one near Honda Alabang.

*RANT DIN AKO*

The one sa Q.C Ave branch ang tagal bago niya iprocess yung refund namin, yung refund is for reservation nung MU-X na worth 5K. Nag request ako ng refund ng December 23 the day i got my MU-X sa Casa sa Alabang. Naka ilang follow up na ako sa sobrang inis ko susugurin ko na sana sa Q.C hahaha kasama dad ko though pinigilan kami ng mom ko and she talked to the agent and low and behold doon lang niya inasikaso yung refund namin we finally got the refund last Friday Feb 7. Nakita ko rin yung Service Bay nila and sobrang gulo nung area HAHAHA! sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko titiisin ko nalang na pumunta sa Isuzu Alabang kaysa lumipat ako ng Q.C Ave para mag pa PMS since taga Q.C talaga kami doon lang namin sa alabang kinuha yung kotse. Mas maganda yung Service Bay ng Alabang kaysa Q.C and i can stay at my cousin's house while i wait sa PMS.

The one on Alabang naman sa totoo ok siya nung una, mabait tapos ang bilis sumagot. Pero nung naka benta na aba wala na. itexted her after new year kasi yung cousin ko suggested we install a rear cam and me and my parents wanted to install a keyless entry system, she told me out of stock and instructed me to text her back the next week. Which i did wala akong nakuhang reply LOL i texted her twice that week. Siyempre na inis na ako pumunta nalang ako doon mismo and nakita ko siya LOL pero di ko na siya pinansin kasi dumiretso na ako sa Parts and Accessories area. Since 12 ako dumating doon lunch break so sabi nung Tao sa Accessories area balik ako 1PM pero he assured to me na meron silang available unit for both Rear cam and Rear sensor, so balik ako ng 1PM pumila na ako sa counter and nandoon siya kuya ng Accessories dept hinigi niya data ko tapos kung may account na ba ako sa kanila etc. after nun pinatabi muna niya ako, kasi may senior citizen na mag papalagay rin ng Rear Cam... Well feeling ko alam niyo na kung ano nangyari, since senior siyempre yung Rear cam na dapat sakin sa kanya binigay kala niya siguro hindi ko naririnig usapan nila. Di nalang ako nagalig kasi senior eh HAHAHAHA hinayaan ko nalang tapos umalis na ako kasi sabi nung agent sa Acce department next week pa daw sila mag kakaroon.

Sa alabang rin pala nag pa refund mabilis yung transaction ko sa SA ko regarding sa Refund di tulad nung SA ko sa Q.C Ave, May floating 5,500 kasi kami sa Alabang dahil na double yung bayad doon sa Anti Rust coating na pinalagay ng dad ko, kala ko kasi hindi pa kasama sa 1.3M yung rust coating. Initially yun yung pang bayad sa Keyless entry pero pina refund ko nalang, feeling ko naman hindi na need yun di naman kami nag iiwan ng valuables sa loob ng kotse and naka insured naman kami.

-END OF RANT-

So current situation ng MU-X ko, so far ok naman siya. Though napansin ng dad ko bigla daw umingay yung Engine kaya baka ipacheck ko pag PMS ko currently 1,453 km na yung MU-X lapit na ipasok sa casa. And yesterday ipapark ko na yung kotse sa garahe, nawala sa isip ko na tapakan ng todo yung break so ang nangyari naka half press lang siya and parang nag fre-free wheel ng dahan dahan tapos bigla kong inilagay sa reverse... pucha may nag screech!! kaya tapak agad ako sa break tapos nilipat ko sa Park. Natawa ako eh pero sa totoo kinabahan ako, sinubukan kong ilipat sa Drive para umabante ok naman siya napasok ko siya and na park ko siya ng maayos. Though papa tignan ko pa rin para sure..

May sratches na rin yung MU-X some of them galing sa Pusa kasi sumasampsa sa hood and sa hood lang yung may maraming gas gas! and yung ibang sratches galing sa Ashfall remains di ko na bomba ng maayos yung kotse kaya ayun may mga sracthes na maliit. Most likely ipapa detail ko sa Casa para isang punatahan nalang PMS at Detailing. Mukhang ok naman yung carwash nila sa Alabang branch kasi nung kinuha ko doon kotse ko sabi ng SA ko pina carwash niya kasi galing sa storage.

I also dont plan on keeping yung MU-X ko or baka ibigay ko nalang sa mon and dad ko after 2 years or so. I might switch sa SSangyong Tivoli XLV. Hirap hanapan ng parking eh ang lapad, and yung lilipatan kasi naming house after 5 years maliit lang yung parking so its either we sell the car o i give them the car and i buy a new one which is yung SSangyong Tivoli XLV.
