**JCEE** · May 31st, 2005 12:57 AM

arghhhhh...... just got an sportivo kanina lang from inteco quezon ave.... here's my realest review.. the real score about sportivo

The Bad:

Engine:

- pag start ko palang! and unang arangkada, una ko kagad na pansin. is yung ingay ng makina and lakas ng vibration! yea it really "sounds like elf!" which i dont like..errrr.........

- aside from the noise and the vibration. may kabagalan talaga. parang laging hirap yung tunog ng makina from 1st to 3rd gear. i run 60 (sagad na yung tapak) at the third gear.

Interior:

- may only reklamo is the third row seats. yea medyo magkaka cramps ka sa mahabaang biyahe medyo masikip and hassel to get out of the folding seat on the 2nd row..

- i think isuzu has the cheapest interior quality.. like..yung mga pindutan nila. parang low grade plastics lang ang ginamit.napuna ko na yun from the start na nakita na namin sa casa to check out.

- and lastly yung power window nila.. maingay pag ibinababa. hindi smooth. pero pag tinataas smooth naman!

- the stereo cd changer is JVC (which i dont like the brand but hey atleast not aiwa! hehe)

- umm the aircon! i think may kahinaan yung aircon nila eh.. or its just the temp. lang kanina kasi sobrang init! but again the cheap plastic knob they use. kainis. di maganda tignan.

Others: (which i dont know saan na ka categorize)

- the shocks or springs of the sportivo..(not sure) pero sa sa harapan maganda ride nya malambot talaga kaso sa rear medyo matigas.. pero what i notice is hindi naman siya ganung ka tagtag sa likod. pero youll find the differ kasi malambot talaga sa harapan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Good:

Engine:

- I dont know much about engines but.. What i like about isuzu's diesel engine is yung kung gaano siya katipid sa gas. true dat! which a plus for me. and what i really want. (ummm.. how do you guys compute how much liters it take for 1km?)

Exterior:

- I really like the look and stand of sportivo :D chrome chrome etc. lights. and all ganda.

Interior:

- nice bucket leather seats.. very roomy on the 1st and 2nd row seats.. i dont think if the foldable seat is a plus. nice matting..tint,

- ok din ang lcd monitor nila and so the player no skip at all on roggh road so far.

- thank god may aircon sa likod!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

last words! ummmmmm.. we may not buy isuzu vehiecle AGAIN (sabi ni erpat!)! hahaha. true dat! i hope bumawi na lang sila sa aftersales and services. pa kunswelo nalang! medyo madami nga lang ang bad things na na puna ko.. pero siguro kung mas maayos yung ingay ng makina and yung mga hing quality interior i guess ok na ok ang isuzu i would highly recomend kasi matipid na and ok naman ang exterior nila...the entertainment packge is a plus. its just the interior and the noisy engine..

(sorry if im not a good reviewer actually its my 1st time to make a review for a car. gusto ko lang i share sa mga gusto din bumili kung ano ba talaga ang meron sa sportivo.para mas mapagisipan pa nila and di sila manghinayang at the end!) :D

ok nmn xwind ah... meron kme nyan XT lng. pang Harabas nga lng talaga. :D

ayus xwind tipid tlga. kaso mausok and hindi comfy ride. ingay pa.

sekreto jan, shift mo lng agad. 1500 rpm shift nko eh, mtaas na 2000rpm. wla kna mkukuha msydo power beyond that. kaya shift agad ng mabilis :D

**empy** · May 31st, 2005 01:11 AM

yikes...sayang naman. hindi ba nag thorough test si erpats bago bumili?

**mbt** · May 31st, 2005 01:17 AM

yup, maingay nga at industrial-sounding yung makina ng crosswind hehe.

teka, er... if you dont like it too much, bakit iyan ang napili niyo? hehe :D

correct ka jan wilcats kapag diesel di mo na kailangan biritin pa ng mas mataas na rpm lalo na sa 1st and 2nd gear. ang ginagawa ko 1st gear starting lang para umandar yung sasakyan pag arangkada ng konti shift kaagad sa 2nd gear sa 2nd gear naman wag mo pataasin pa sa 2k rpm para tipid ka pati sa gas mga 1500 rpm shift na sa 3rd gear. naranasan ko yan nung bagong labas ang adventure gls sport namin 10days old pa lang sya bago pa just like urs. its my 1st time na magdrive ng diesel sanay kasi ako sa kotse eh, dapat konting patience sa diesel. ganon talaga xwind maingay ang makina pero thats normal para sa isang xwind. grabeh ka bro kakabili mo palang dae mo agad comments dapat survey muna kayo dad mo b4 kayo bumili waaaaaah! you said a while ago takbo mo 60kph sa 3rd gear?? sagad na acc. pedal right?? you know ako sa 60kph na takbo ko asa 4rth or 5th gear nako. kapag 1500rpm na, shift kaagad sa kasunod na gear. youll see the difference. kapag nga mejo pababa ang daan at stop and go ka sa segunda nako nagstart malakas naman ang makina eh. dapat malakas aircon nyan kasi bago, check mo thermostat level mo baka nman naka minimum! yung sa adventure namin kalahati lang thermostat malamig na kahit tnghaling tapat...ma aapreciate mo rin xwind mo kapag tumagal wag mo compare sa bilis ng kotse yan talgang expect mo na mas mabagal yan lalo na sa acceleration.

ngek!

parang sa picture lang ninyo tinignan ako umorder kayo online sa dami ng negative comments, most of your observations can be seen kaagad in the showroom and a quick test drive.. sabagay may mga kilala rin kasi ako na kapag si itay ang nagdesisyon eh on the spot..enjoy it na lang for what it is..buti nga may bago kang sasakyan sa hirap ng panahon ngayon..ewan ko kung congrats o awa ang ibibigay ko sa iyo ehehehe

JCEE, bago ka lang sa diesel car no? ganyan din reaction ko sa first diesel car namin, coming from gasoline cars, nakakapanibago talaga hehehe

umm the aircon! i think may kahinaan yung aircon nila eh.. or its just the temp. lang kanina kasi sobrang init! but again the cheap plastic knob they use. kainis. di maganda tignan.

I think this is normal. pag sobra init sa labas, mainit din sa loob kahit naka- aircon pag diesel-powered car. I've observed (& felt) this many times already. pero pag gasoline na 2.0 up, kahit tamaan na ng araw yun aircon vents sa windshield, lamiggg pa din . hehehe, regarding the cheap plastic knob, I know what you mean. maselan din ako sa dash design. pagdating sa unattractive "makeshift" dashboard, wala nang tatalo pa sa Suzuki Samurai! yun knobs nito parang yun mga knobs na nabibili sa raon pag meron kang electronics project nun high school. I hated this car so much!

**BoyFerrari** · May 31st, 2005 02:23 AM

Hindi bat sinabi na naming INNOVA na ang bilhin mo? Bat Sportivo pa rin kinuha mo? Tigas naman ng ulo. Yan napala mo tuloy. Hehe. Jok lang.

**squala** · May 31st, 2005 02:30 AM

Why did you get that car if you'll just hate it from Day 1? And what's wrong with a JVC head unit?

**Mushi Mushi** · May 31st, 2005 02:41 AM

Lahat ng mga negative na sinulat mo madaling makita sa casa pa lang. So i'm surprised why you still purchased it. Unless you plan to buy it anyway despite all the imperfections. :praning:

Maingay talaga ang diesel. First time mo bang dumikit sa isang Crosswind? Sana lumapit ka sa isang Crosswind before, parehas lang sila ng makina i think. Or if not, they should atleast be as noisy, so meron ka ng idea before you buy.
