Gas Or Diesel Adventure ? Need your help !

[RafRaf]

As for floods, diesels are more resilient than gas engines. Part of the advantage of an Adventure is its high ground clearance, and the diesel version is resistant to stalling in floods.

Kaya lang diba nasa ilalim yung alternator natin. What's protecting it from getting wet? Yun ang fear ko when engaging floods.

Acceleration is really the downside for diesel cars in general. But I think most people get the diesel version for the functionality first then the performance second. I agree that toyota and isuzu are ahead with mitsubishi in terms of diesel engine technology but that's outside the topic. thanks for your comments, guys !!!

downside nga lang sa 4d56 eh yung horsepower nya medyo huli na saya sa mga rival nya like crosswind at innova.... you must have more patient in accelerating your ride.

Ay, totoo yan. Pero seeing na medyo mahal magpagawa ng makina sa Isuzu, at complicated naman ang D-4D ng Toyota, isipin na lang natin na less is more. ;)

Tsaka ok lang kung kapos ang acceleration. Ang hindi madadaan sa bilis, daanin sa maniobra.

Get the diesel one, pangharabas talaga!!! wag kana mag gas mahal na ng gas chaka mas matakaw at uhaw uminom yun!!! about sa maintenance i don't think na mas mahal to since 4d56 yan dae parts... pre kay suzet kana kumuha ng unit!!!

really depends on your plan of use for the vehicle.

kung hindi ka namn parati hahatak ng kargada sa likod mostly pang pamilya city and highway, I would suggest na gas version na lang.

gas mas tahimik yung makina, at mas malakas yung arangkada. di ka mabibitin kung oovertake ka.

diesel matipid pero do not believe the hype na aabot ng more than 10 kms /liter yan very very very VERY rare occassion lang yan.

in terms of maintenance, mas mahal ang fuel filter ng diesel, pero mas hindi problemado. actually ako lang nag memekaniko nung Adventure namin dati.

speaking from experience of owning an Adventure for more than 4 yrs.

Rediesel, diesel ba yung adventure mo?

Bakit, most Macoys with diesel adventure are saying at least 10km/liter consumption nila?

Parang kinakabahan kse ako sa gas na 7-9 km/liter lang . Mabubutas bulsa ko dyan....

sir, it really depends. kung ako, i'll get the diesel kung efficiency ang pag-uusapan. i've driven the adventure diesel. its good, but it takes time getting used to.


on fuel consumption, nasa driving style yan. if you want to save some fuel, be prepared to change your driving style. or part with your hard earned cash.

[Rediesel]

diesel po yung adventure. sa totoo lang nung first few months ng bago ito 9-10 kms / liter, pero wala talagang hataw yun. at medyo hindi taginit.

di uubra sa akin yung ganong driving e, kaya kuntento na ako sa 8-8.5 kms /liter, yan hataw talaga. (oovertake kung merong pagkakataon, kasama na tambay ng ilang minuto, 15-20 mins, pag may sinusundo) always on ang aircon.

kung super hataw naranasan ko nun 7 -7.25 kms /liter. (as in jackrabbit start on evry occasion)

[ian_rex]

sir, rediesel, kung ganun pala e dapat ma-consider na lagyan ng turbo ang adventure? ba't walang naka-isip nun? yung mga galing sa pajero or strada na TC 4D56. para lumakas ng konti yung makina.

[Rediesel]

nagtanong na po ako nung time na yun, budget 60-80thou may kamahalan din.
