Mitsubishi Spacewagon, ok ba ito?

[jerkky]

OK ba ang Spacewagon? The space it offers is just right for a small family. I don't care how it looks (since some people says it's not that good-looking), it's just that it will serve my purpose. A little more space than a compact sedan, that requires once in a while out of town trips. Ano ba engine nito? Weak points, etc. And more importantly, kumusta ang fuel consumption nito, city and highway driving. By the way, I'm referring to the local version. Magkano rin kaya ang ganito ngayon, mga 94-97 model.

Hope you guys could help. TIA.

May carb and fuel injected niyan. Almost all of the Space Wagon is Galant-based including suspension and drivetrain.

ung crystal lights? ba tinutukoy mo?
if so, most of them are efi's na i suppose.1.8L ang engine ng local dito sa atin. ang price range nyan is 250k-350k depends on the condition and nakalagay na accessoires siyempre..

eto din sana kukunin ko pero JDM model ang target ko-->turbo diesel model.
well, i cant say anu ang talagang good and bad points nito...pero, yes it has a better space than a sedan...pero still, iba parin ang van, kaya bagsak ako sa liteace..ay sorry, o.t. na..

anywayz, i think 1.8L sohc naman niyan di ganung katakaw...unless siyempre when compared to 1.6 below,right?

i think it is a good buy.. ask ko lang, since di ka din naman after sa sabi ng iba about sa looks, why not a hr-v? kung family of 5 or less lang naman kayo... kasi kung di din naman halos nagsasakay ng 7 passengers, suggest ko lang ito..

but then, ikaw din magdecide..

hope this helps...

pricey ata HRV compared to spacewagon, cguro at least 100k higher

[alwayz_yummy]

ganun kalayo ang difference nila?oh well, stick ka nalang dyan sa spacewagon...

mga mazda hatch(ung 323f,astina or 626-hatch)?pero mukhang medyu matatakaw mga ito compared sa spacewagon.

parang kasi walang ka-competensiya ang spacewagon dito sa ating market,e....

dual aircon ba ang mit spacewagon?

[alwayz_yummy]

dual aircon ba ang mit spacewagon?

the local ones are definately not dual aircon...

jdms ones usually sa mx, super mx, resort runners trims have dual aircons on it...

jdm turbo diesels most of them are fulltime 4wd...and 4d68 ay walang local counterpart...kaya un mostly prob..body parts and most underchassis pareho na sa local spacewagon...

siyempre, madaming cocontra sayong bibili ng mga converted units na yan kesyo di daw safe at pumapatay sa local auto industry, all i can say, safety comes from you and not the vehicle...pero ikaw na bahala mag-weigh ng facts...

[bosstl]

hindi ko personal experience ito ha... pero kung kukuha ka man nito, wag na wag yung carbed 1.8L versions. sobra takaw daw sa gas, tapos ang kupad pa. kaya yung kaibigan ko nagsawa, binenta tapos kumuha na lang ng van talaga. liteace ata yun kasi preferred nya yung enough space pero di mukhang alangan pag sya lang mag-isa ang sakay. medyo makupad din liteace pero di daw kasing takaw nung sa spacewagon.

Tung turbo diesel ba na mitsubishi space wagon meron ba na local? kung wala, ok ba yung mga jp-version?

[vinj]

We used ot have both the carbed and EFI models before... go for the '96-'98 (meron din '99) na EFI with the crystal headlights as this has more power.

Things to look at:
- a/c system
- suspension (medyo kalampagin but can be affordably fixed)
- have the engine compression tested

Going price of a '96-'97 model is at 230K - 300K

[jerkky]

salamat sa replies. may nakita kasi ako 250K '96 model, 92K mileage, casa maintained. i assume na EFI na itong model na 'to. ok pa rin naman ang paint original pa and makinis, except for some very minor dents.

so generally, ok nga pala ito. ang iniisip ko kasi is kung malakas ba sa gas. ilang km/ltr kaya ito, purely city driving lang? normally naman mga 4-5 times a year lang ako kung lumabas ng manila. does it have enough power nga pala for occasional required hataw? salamat ulit...

[vinj]

For hataw walang problema with the EFI, especially kung magaan lang yung karga... it can hold it's own (powerband is on the low RPM range). Back in my reckless college and HS days i could easily bring ours to over 160-170kph given enough road. If you load it up heavily with a full passenger and baggage complement, performance will suffer of course (meaning you'll be using 2nd and 3rd gear more for overtaking slower vehicles).

Expect lang to do repairs to the suspension, engine and a/c given the age of the car... when we sold ours in 2001 (96 model) with 100K on the odo, a lot of suspension parts have already been changed (shocks, bushings, tie rods, ball joints), along with the clutch, water pump, a/c compressor and timing belt. Parts can easily be sourced in Banawe and prices are reasonable.

On fuel consumption, we never paid much attention to it back then (mura pa kasi gas noon) but i'd estimate it to be at 6.5-8km/l depending on the vehicle load and driving style.

Other observations:
- The stock headlights are also a bit weak, i'd advise upgrading with relays and thicker wirings to take stronger 90/100w bulbs.
- tinting the whole front is adviseable as the a/c also has a hard time cooling the car on a hot day.

The EFI versions have crystal headlights, two-tone, triangle-shaped wheels and a third brake light. There's also an A/T available.

Ayos yan jerkky.... kailan mo naman ako isasama dyan sa spacewagon mo? Ikaw, ako,...., pede pa buong tropa sa barracks, hehehe..... o kaya yung sandamukal mong mistress, bwahahahaha...... On topic, bakit di mo ipang down ng bago yung P250K para mababa lang maintenance costs mo? Yung nakuha kong sasakyan sa Suzuki libre PMS for 2 years... as in NADA (P2,040 yung bill ko dapat last time for my 5K PMS)!!!

Musta na lang sa wife and kids mo? Dami decisions pag lumalaki pamilya no?

preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! musta na?

hindi pa naman sure kung kukunin namin yung spacewagon. nakita lang nung wife ko tapos natipuhan kaya parang napa-isip kami. ok sana kung matutuloy bilhin para yung APV mo saka yung spacewagon dami natin pwede lumakad, makakapagsakay pa tayo ng cases ng beer. yung mistresses wala ako non, mistress lang! bwehehehehehe

ok sana yung sinasabi mo mag-down na lang pero hindi ako sure sa finances ko this coming year kaya wag na lang. ayoko ng may-utang sa ganitong economy, mahirap na. saka yung old reliable namin na 92 lancel el eh no headaches pa rin naman ako. regular oil change and tune-up lang saka once a year underchassis check-up lang maintenance ko dun. and anytime, pwede ko i-akyat ng baguio no worries.

although gusto ko na nga yung spacewagon kasi nga space, power ok naman, and consumption is relatively average, it's a matter of "need" muna bago yung "want". the lancer still serves its purpose pa naman. bukod sa love yun ng anak ko. we'll decide in a few days kung kukunin o hindi. no rush naman yung nagbebenta so ok lang. saka kailangan ko rin muna ibenta yung lancer bago ko makuha yung spacewagon.

OT: isa pa rin ang anak ko. hindi pa nadagdagan. sa oct 2 nga pala kailangan ng maraming batchmates sa notre. may tournament ng basketball. kaya lang hindi ako sure kung makapunta ako.
