What are the pros and cons of Isuzu Crosswind?

[pol3]

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

+2 ako dito....pareho tayo ng pananaw sa buhay bro...di din kami mayaman e,pero mahilig sa layas,isa kasi yan sa treat ko sa mag iina ko pag nauwi ako galing sa barko e...hehehe...saka isa pa kahit mag sampung taon na ang sportivo ko,sigurado akong di ako kakaba kaba kasi hindi sya maselan sa maintenance...alaga lang talaga sa langis at mga fluid...

saka very comfortable dahil kahit gaano kalayo byahe,di sumusuko yung lamig ng aircon...

saka pang matagalan ko na service na ito,ang hirap kasi kumuha hulugan sasakyan e,ang hirap sa budget...

another satisfied xwind/sportivo owner po...

Exactly my sentiments. Bullseye kayo bro. Been and isuzu owner since college days. Meron din akong ibang sasakyan ngayon pero pagseryoso lakaran yung crosswind pa rin gamit ko. Mas kampante lang ako e ewan ko ba. Last year I was put into a situation where I have to fetch my wife sa airport at 9 pm. The entire Sucat road was flooded and I chose to bring my sportivo instead of my 1 year old 4x4 other brand pick-up. I know the pick-up will make the trip as well pero yung isuzu pa din ginamit ko. Iba talaga yung trusted mo na e.

sir acergy09;

its nice to know sir that we look at it the same way. naniniwala ako na marami pa sa forumers dito ang tulad natin ang views. marami akong friends who try to convince me to sell my xuv (kasi pang karaniwan daw ito) and buy a montero or fortuner para my "representation".
ang lagi kong sagot, pag nakagamit ka ng crosswind, wala ka nang ibang sasakyan pa na magagamit at papasa sa iyo in terms of practicality and usefulness. hahahaha.
maybe someday, i'll buy for "representation" but i'll always have a practical and useful vehicle in my garage. and that will be an xuv. or ibenta ko man xuv ko, i will just upgrade to sportivo.

+10 ako sa yo sir.

Isapang pros, kapag na i drive mo yung crooswind at me na race ka (say a 1.6L car) at nanalo ka due to the other side's poor technique... priceless errr miracle pat yourself on the back... hihihi

hahaha.
i know what you mean blue_gambit.
kung naka crosswind ka at flat out racing sa super hiway, wag ka na umasa.
pero put some traffic on the road and the equation changes, technique comes to play.
hindi ako magaling sa technique pero it happens na yung other driver kahit naka auto e mas poorer pa sa akin ang technique tapos hataw lang ng hataw, hindi naman marunong pumwesto at mag-anticipate kung ano bubuka sa traffic.
tapos sabay lang kami darating sa stop over. heheh. parang gusto ko sabihin sa kanya na naka crosswind lang ako nyan ha, kung pareho lang tayo ng auto, di mo na ko aabutan dito sa stop over. nyahaha.

+10 ako sa yo sir.

at the risk of converting this forum into a mutual admiration society, + 20 po ako sa inyo sir garfield.

and +100 to all crosswind owners who drive and use their rides to the fullest and yet respect its limits.

yung mga masayang nag-kakambyo kasi tanggap nila na medyo kulang sa power at ang konswelo na lang nila e alam nilang may pulling power sila pag kailangan.

yung mga taong natutuwa at maganda pag-kaka tune up ng makina nila pag nakita nilang 130kph ang takbo. haha.

masaya sa limitations ng rides nila, kasi alam nila hindi sila talo sa kabila ng lahat.

yan yung mga croswind owners.

kung boat ang xuv, its a row boat as compared to others which are like yatchs or speed boats.

Tug boat naman, lalo na kung hatak ang usapan.

yes sir.
also have a 3 door pajero and my wife has a 5 door pajero. sabi ko nga kung gusto ko na feeling pogi (feeling lang) ang dating, pajero gagamitin ko.
pero kung biyahe at ksama ko pamilya ko, ergo, least posibility of aberya dapat, yung crosswind ko dadalin ko.

like you sir pol, i trust my crosswind

haha. yes sir.

i agree. tug boat will be a more pappropriate description.

sir imcocoy,

here is my take on the xti vs. xuv dillema:
kung kaya rin lang ng budget xuv ka na. you get the added height for flood and rough road crossings and the added porma/tougher look.

no offense to the xti, it is also capable. i have an xuv now, but when means allow me to do so, i would like to buy an xti for those times na long drive lang on good roads (like trip to subic).

if you will only use it on good roads (although imposible yata ito) the xti gives you the advantage of lower stance and therefore more stability than the xuv, and beter fuel economy due to smaller tires and lower wind resistance compared to xuv.

i hope may naitulong ito sa pag-iisip mo sir.

nice point sir. nakalimutan ko nga pala na ang advantage ng xuv is yung ride height at flood fording capability. Kaya ako kahit medyo mahal ang gulong ng XTRM ko at matalbog na appreciate ko siya during those times na kailangan mo sumulong sa baha at rough road ang dadaanan mo. Pero kung mostly on-road ka lang lagi(which is unlikely) or you have an extra utility vehicle na pang harabas sa baha at kung anu-ano, ok na ok ang XTi.

ako rin sir ilang beses ko na muntik ibenta yung hi-lander XTRM ko, magpapalit din sana to either Trooper o Pajero, kaso parang di ko talaga mabitaw bitawan, kasi nga sobrang practical at useful niya. Kaya pala sunod sunod ang nag inquire sa akin nung inadvertise ko kasi sulit talaga siyang sasakyan. Lalo ko tuloy na appreciate kaya tulad niyo hindi ko na siguro papakawalan kahit may urge pa rin to upgrade

Hi fabilioh and to all SUV owners,

thanks to all your views.

Actually first choice ko is xti but my father in law mas prefer nya xuv. He doesn't know that ang makina of both are the same lang kaya nagtaka sya na xti ang 1st option ko.. pero may rebuttal sya, "di ka naman siguro nag 120kph sa mga curve pag kasama mo mga apo ko?". Natawa tuloy ako. Samantalang mas kaskasero yun kaysa akin.

like other crosswind owners ayoko rin kasi ng maraming sakit ng ulo in terms of maintenance. plain, simple, old but reliable engine lang.. di ko akalain one month na pala ako nagsesearch what to buy dito sa tsikot. lurker na.

hinihintay ko lang ang new stock ng suv na darating maybe for test drive for suv.
