What are the pros and cons of Isuzu Crosswind?

[janalla]

buti sa akin,lagi wala usok...once a year ako nagpapalinis ng nozzle...200petot lang naman ang singil dito sa amin...tapos pinapa spray ko lang yung tambutso,then rebulosyon...talsik yung mga carbon deposit...kaya parang de gas yung sportivo ko,hehehe...walang kausok usok...

tapos pinapa spray ko lang yung tambutso,then rebulosyon
- paano ba ginagawa ito bro? matagal ko na gusto linisin tambutso ko eh. please tell me the exact way, step by step kung pwede...

di ko din alam dati yan bro e...may nagturo lang din sa akin...tapos alam din pala ng mga car wash boy...i start lang bro yung engine,tapos tutok mo yung nozzle nung pang washing sa loob ng tambutso mo...pag nalamanan na ng tubig yung muffler,ire rebulosyon mo lang para tumalsik yung tubig,kasama na yung carbon dun...tapos kung masyado pa din madumi o maiitim yung lumalabas,ulitin mo lang yung procedure,hanggang sa wala ng lumalabas na carbon...

interesado ka sana bro sa pinapagawan ko ng sasakyan ko,hehehe...taga labo talaga ako,brgy talobatib...pero yung daet 20 minutes na byahe na lang yun mula sa amin...

di ba malayo ang distance ng manila-bicol?ganyan kalayo binibyahe ng crosswind ko,tapos dadaan pa ng IMI sa quezon...tapos diretso pa kami minsan hanggang nueva ecija and baguio...pero talagang di sumusuko ang crosswind...kaya subok ko na kung gaano katatag yung sa akin...sarap mamasyal talagaa na kasama pamilya...

ah ganun ba, actually inlaws ko ang taga Labo, taga Daet din yung iba. Pag holy week byahe namin diyan pag may reunion sila. Puno rin kami at daan ng IMI din, kaya subok na subok talaga Isuzu sakit lang sa pwet

Ok ang Crosswind. Lalo na if you compare it to an Innova, Avanza, APV, Adventure, etc. and other people carrier. Even compared to older Revos and Hilanders.

Like the aging Adventure, the Crosswind is also trailing behind when it comes to safety.
Its 2010 and Isuzu still doesn't offer Airbags and Anti-lock Brake System on any Crosswind model.

Those features would significantly add to the sticker price, and they will no longer be attractive for their intended target market i.e. people who want their vehicles to do double-duty as family car and business workhorse.

If the Adventure range already offered airbags and ABS at the time I was purchasing one, baka nauwi na lang ako sa Suzuki Alto.

That's funny. The top-end Crosswind is priced right at the Innova V's range.
LCD TVs over ABS anyone?

Its odd that even without safety features, the Crosswind Sportivo is already expensive.

Isuzu Crosswind Sportivo AT: P1.22M (no airbags, no ABS)
Isuzu Crosswind Sportivo MT: P1.155M (no airbags, no ABS

Toyota Innova 2.5V dsl AT: P1.195M (with dual-airbags and ABS)
Toyota Innova 2.0V AT: P1.14M (with dual-airbags and ABS)
Toyota Innova 2.5E dsl AT: P1.033M (with driver's airbag and ABS)
Toyota Innova 2.5E dsl MT: P968K (with driver's airbag and ABS)
Toyota Innova 2.0E AT: P978K (with driver's airbag and ABS)
Toyota Innova 2.0E AT: P913K (with driver's airbag and ABS)

Suzuki APV 1.6 SGX AT: P810K (with dual-airbags and ABS)
Suzuki APV 1.6 SGX MT: P775K (with dual-airbags and ABS)

It looks like Isuzu opted to load the Crosswind with bling-bling accessories (like the ones you can buy at Banawe?) instead of safety features.

...or more like Banawe accessories vs Airbags and ABS?

kanya kanyang priorities lang naman yan. If you want a no-frills, utilitarian workhorse, then the crosswind is for you. but if you want the airbags and abs more, but are willing to take on the added maintenance costs of a crdi(not to mention choking problems), then the Innoa is for you. for me though, the bang for the buck would be the Xti crosswind not the sportio. At a lower price you get the same Isuzu reliability minus the added gizmos

speaking of palinis ng tambutso,

nakita ko ito sa fx taxi noong araw, sa may bandang manifold, nag palagay yung may-ari ng tubo na extension, connected sa pababang tubo ng tambutso, tapos may takip yun tubo, tubo ng tubig, so parang cap yung takip, g.i. pipe bale.

ang explanation niya, pag ma carbon na tambutso niya, bubuksan niya takip, lalagyan ng gaas, tapos tatakpan un extension na tubo uli, tapos rev ng maganda ganda, and presto, malinis na tambutso niya. gawin ko kaya yun????

kaso panget itsura e. hahahah.
