just got a bnew sportivo..yuck! lols

[IPSG_babe!]

Well nabili mo na so ok lang..hehe!!!talaga? maganda ung ahente?.marami din sa min nun ask CarloCaraddict!!

2004 model ung may back massager...once the sportivo was launched last November ( or October), the back massager was removed from the Xuv and Xuvi..

Lahat naman ng brand new vehicles ay naka factory rustproof.the p4,500 is the price of the undercoating being offered prior to delivery or release of the unit. Un ung may warranty ng 5 years pero mas mura pag re-application sa casa.Im not sure sa ibang dealers..depende rin kasi yan sa chemical na gamit..ar dun sa company whose applying it..

anyway, goodluck!!

Mukhang inuubos na lang ng Isuzu yung mga stocks nila ng Crosswind/Sportivo. Pero kung AUV pa rin ang balak nyo bilhin, pag-isipan nyo yung Mitsubishi Adventure.... sale sila ngayon bagsak presyo..... P800+ na lang yung diesel models nila. P200,000 din halos ang diperensya compared to Sportivo. May naaamoy akong bagong ipapasok na model ang Mitsu yata, panapat sa Fortuner.

Amoy lang naman. Meeoooww....

[JCEE]

i love sportivo naman eh. engine noise and cheap plastic lang talaga ang ayoko dito.but aside from that. they are all tolerable naman and not very hard to be like. and since im ont the adjusting stage kasi nga gasoline and car gamit ko dati.. yung adjust sa haba and arangkada medyo naninibago pa ako. thanks to all pag aralan ko din about synthetic oil thinggy i dont have any idea kung ano yun and afraid to harm my car.

IPSG babe! : sori mam layo kasi ng pasig kaya sa q.ave nalang ako pumasyal. and nagandahan kasi si erpat sa sales rep eh.hehe just kiddin. and yea ver very good fuel efficeincy.and mam wala pala seat massager yung sportivo hehe. anyway its all good naman. hope this car will serve me good for long time and also the aftersales services.

you'll love your sportivo more once the rains come down. I guarantee that. lalo na yun mga sudden downpours & flashfoods.

i agree on this. lalo na pag small potholes pero malalim naku ang sya nyan!!
good luck on you're new ride sir!

[benchph1]

Every car has its own problems. it really depends on how patient you are in dealing with them. there are several crosswind owners here in tsikot. wag kang mahiyang magtanong. tsikoteers are really helpful..

[luckytruck]

as for after sales service, i heard there is an isuzu dealer that has really bad customer service there in manila. you might want to find out which that one was and stay away from them. baka lalong sumama loob mo sa sportivo mo

recomended ba mag pa rustproof sa kanila (isuzu) or sa labas na lang mas mura pa ang maganda?kasi sabi 3 months balik k daw for the rustproofing eh, worried ako kasi nga tag ulan na ang baha na naman. saan ba mas ok sa kanila or sa labas mag pa rustproof? saan ba pwede? thanks!

Is this really the norm with Isuzu vehicles? Kasi by comparison, Mitsubishi Adventure units already come with a 3-year warranty on rustproofing, IIRC.

[cbbpro58]

Yeah brand new cars should be rustproofed included in their price. . . f you happen to be serious looking, why not try the Bathala Marketing.

[luckytruck]

baka ang pinagusapan ay yung undercoating? do all new cars come with that additional undercoating?

i would like to think that any brand new car nowadays comes from the factory rustproofed already.

AFAIK, additional undercoating sa casa means additional warranty, and therefore additional cost. Inalok din sa akin ng Diamond Motors yan, +2 years warranty on top of the factory's 3 years. Hindi ko na tinanggap, medyo sobra na sa budget eh.

Pero tama, all brand new cars rolling out these days should have had their initial rustproofing at the factory, with warranty. Bahala na yung owner kung ie-extend niya yung warranty na yun.

sportivo..? aah, ito 'yong upgraded na xwind, hanoh..?..

naalala ko sabi ni nanay non.."anak, ang buhay sa mundo ay kahalintulad ng mga kwentong nasa aesop's fables....start reading and digesting it..you'll understand more of life and elevates your self esteem and confidence.."

in it is the story of sour-graping..a fox trying to do something about his rumbling hunger over a bunch of grapes it cant reached after several foxy attempts..he just quits and murmur..di bale, maasim naman 'yan..

i'm not saying your sportivo is short of being a lemon car, sir jcee..it's just designed and performed as you observed todate..you're much better than my gloomy friend, fox..while the car seemed odd, it helps a lot with your mobility..

swerti mo sir di hamak..

[ILuvDetailing]

IMO, if your gonna use it for city driving there's no need for an additional undercoat. Factory rustproofing will be enough.

[JCEE]

di ko din masyado ma gets kasi sabi under coat yun and iba pa yung sinasabi sa amin na rustproof. which is 3k nga. and about city driving.. yea mostly used for coty driving pero bako ka makarating sa city dami pang dadaanan na lubog na area and tag ulan na..

mmmm. san ba yung Bathala Marketing? ok ba dun and mura? thanks!

[av8or5]

my friend got his sportivo this year....P4500 bigay sa kanya. haggled by the agent. isuzu manila...rustproofing and undercoating...or something like that. for your reference. btw..jcee punta ka isuzu eb so ul meet other crosswind owners like baurtwell and other isuzu peeps.

[axelangel007]

ok ang mag pa rustproofing lalo na malapit na ang tag-ulan ngayun, mag lagay ka na rin ng rustomizer (electronic device ) pa ra iwas kalawang pang ilalim din

[rb222]

Hi JCEE sportivo din yun sa akin. i've got it last jan. pina undercoat ko na for add'l 4th sa isuzu manila. On 5th km nya na disconnected yung last part ng muffler nya (after ng silencer) so pa weld ko lng don sa cainta for P120.

another example of poor workmanship. rb222: your not the only one bro...sakit talaga crosswind yan..

I own an XUV AT 2004, 8500 km na. Kakadala ko lang kanina sa casa kasi may naririnig akong kumakalampag na parang lata pag "on" ng makina at pag patay. (takatakatakatak, parang ganun ang tunog) Alam agad ng service advisor ang tunog. May tagas/butas daw ang muffler, sa side A daw. Side A, B, C daw kasi yun hanggang tail piple. Pasenysa na at hindi ko madescribe sa inyo ng maigi kasi bago pa lang ako sa kotse, wala pang gaanong alam sa mga parts, more or less parang ganun ang sinabi sa akin. Winelding nila daw pero papalitan daw yung pipe, nag order na daw sila ng spare part. Akala ko naayos na itong design flaw na ito mula XUV 2004 at Sportivo, hindi pa pala. Ang dasal ko eh sana wala ng lumabas na problema. Dati kalawang at uneven height problema, ngayon eto naman. Sana nga eh sulit itong XUV in the long run sa makina at pang ilalim.
