New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[av8or5]

Hi sir INVINZOR927. This is my opinion. The storm really played havoc on a lot of people. Although they advertised the available parts, I still think the number of vehicles that were damaged is so huge that supply in the Philippines was also wiped out. I can also suggest you email MMPC to also let them know and for you to also find out the true reason of the supply regarding the computer box. Their website has the email address where you can send your opinions and questions.

We have another member who brought his vehicle to San Pablo, but he still hasn't gotten his car as well. I just hope they can fix whatever is needed to be fixed. So when the computer box arrives, conti time na lang needed for adjustments.

para di OT: bro ian, sana makita mo na yung manual sa 4d56 engine... that would greatly help us in case may technical problem that needs to be addressed. pero knowing that you're always online, kampante kami since mas marami ka pang alam kaysa sa mga SA ng mga dealers eh hehehe

as always, best effort sa paghahanap po... wish me luck.

TheHyundai Starex was voted as the most popular automobile worthy of the much-desired distinction of being the 2009 Auto Focus Automobile of the Year – People’s Choice.

The winning 2009Models of the Year include:

The most popular vehicles were given their due and appropriate recognition as well as acknowledgement during the awards night held last Friday, October 16 at the Valle Verde Country Club in Pasig City. The 2009 Auto Focus Automobile of the Year – People’s Choice Award was handed by Philippine Chamber of Commerce & Industry (PCCI) president Ed Lacson, who was the event’s keynote and guest of honor.
The other distinguished award presenters that handed the trophies for the winners in the 12 categories included Magic 89.9’s CJ & Suzy (Suzy is my daughter Tin), the tandem that promoted the SMS voting on, Top Gear magazine’s publisher Chad Rosario, vp for marketing of The Philippine STAR, Lucien Dy Tioco, Chum Cornejo, Sports Operations and Acquisitions head of Solar Sports and Solar Entertainment president & CEO, the very amiable Wilson Tieng, our major media partners all. We also had Dominic Timbancaya, brand manager, Albert Kuok retail sales manager and Mark Quebral, policy, and public affairs manager, all of Chevron together with Mon Barredo, marketing director and Gerry Alava, managing director of Goodyear Philippines, both cooperating sponsors of this year’s polls. Then there was racing and rally icon Mandy Eduque, AAP’s director for motor sports and race driver and racing guro Kookie Ramirez, the late “motor sports legend” – Pocholo Ramirez’s son joined by Tony Peña, senior vp of BDO, heading the very aggressive BDO Auto Loan, while gearing up to be next year’s major partner of the prestigious yearly awards.
The much-awaited results were actually out a few days after September 30, the final day of voting online to allow ballots from The Philippine STAR and Speed / Top Gear magazines to be received and authenticated. But what was not known were the winners of the “Media’s Choice Awards” as the official opening, validating, counting and tallying of votes were done right before the start of the awarding ceremonies. The panel of judges given such arduous task was composed of Popong Andolong, motoring editor of the Business Mirror, Dong Magsajo, motoring editor of PhilStar, Ira Panganiban, president of CAGI and Business World motoring columnist Tito Hermoso. The voting was done by some 20 invited legitimate members of the motoring media composed of editors, TV producers and hosts together with print, broadcast and online journalists.

Isuzu Alterra – Best on-board entertainment set-up
Honda – Most functional passenger cabin

Subaru Impreza WRX STi – Best in Engine Performance
Audi R8 – Best in Design
Subaru Impreza WRX STi – Best in Handling
Mitsubishi Montero Sport / Hyundai i10 – Best Bang for Buck or Value for Money (a down-the-wire deadlock)
The members of the panel of judges mentioned earlier also presented the awards to some of the winners and were joined by Inigo Roces of the Manila Bulletin, Mike Potenciano of Wave 89.1, Al “Sir Paul” Mendoza, motoring columnist of Business-Mirror, Ardie Lopez, TV host/producer of Auto Extreme, Brian Afuang, Manila Times motoring editor and Vernon Sarne, editor-in-chief of Top Gear Magazine.

Guys, share ko lang sad story ko about my red Strada, as you well know typhoon "Ondoy" wreak havoc sa eastern part ng Metro Manila. My red Strada was half submerged in flood waters for more than 24 hours. Me comprehensive insurance naman po ang Strada ko kaya lang di sya kasali sa compensation sa damaged sustained due to flood or typhoon or those AOG incidents. After two days since typhoon "Ondoy" I had it towed to Diamond Motors Marcos Highway but they said I was client #203, ibig sabihin yung service department nila e overloaded na sa dami ng lumubog na vehicle during the onslaught of "Ondoy" kaya parang tumatangi na sila na magservice ng iba pang kliyente nila. So dinala ko ang red Strada sa Diamond Motors Fairview, they readily accept it since they have low traffic clientele. What caught my goat is that they everytime I ask about the status of my Strada, they kept on telling me na ginagawa na. Three weeks had passed and still they kept on telling me na ginagawa na ang strada ko, nagduda na ako kaya nag-occular inspection ako, yun pala dun lang nila inumpisahan na linisin at baklasin yung mga upuan at carpet, nangalawang na tuloy at tinubuan na ng mushroom yung namuong burak at putik dun sa flooring at rocker panel ng sasakyan ko. What added to my ire eh damage yung computer box which costs around 25k per piece and to top it all magsisimula lang DAW silang ayusin yung red strada ko after the new computer box was installed to the 4m41 engine. Ok lang sana magbayad ng ganon kamahal kung ayos agad at pulido,eh kasi nga Act of Satan at wala tayong control doon, kaya lang they tell me that the computer box will arrive at the end of November since that will come from Japan and in crates. Naubusan daw ang planta at me shortage daw ng said box kase nga kabi-kabila ang sasakyan na me 4m41 engine ang lumubog at nangangailangan ng replacement ng computer box. Sabi ko you buy a vehicle worth a million and yet wala silang maibigay na piyesa to back their advertised claim na me sufficient daw silang parts at accesories para sa mga lumubog na Mitsubishi vehicle? Or they must be lying in high heaven sa advertised claim nila? Wala ka ng marinig sa mga service crew kundi pasensya at sorry for the delay. So sarcastically I tell them, di ko naman masasakyan yang sorry at pasensya ninyo na sinasabi sa akin. Sana noon pa tinapat nyo na ko about the status of my ride at hindi puro lip service yang ginagawa nyo. Nag-apologized naman yung bisor nila doon sa service department sa kin. So now stuck dun sa repair yard ng Diamond Motors Fairview ang red Strada ko, exposed sa blazing heat of the sun and cold cold rain na pumapatak doon. So guys, in your own opinion, me shortage ba TALAGA ng computer box ang planta dahil sa typhoon "Ondoy" o ginawa lang nila itong dahilan to cover up their ignorance about the mechanics of 4m41 engine? What shall I do para magamit at ma-repair ang strada ko ng mabilis at pulido? Help naman dyan...TIA.

hi sir. I talked with pauland, one of the club members whose strada was also submerged during the onslaught of Ondoy. He went to Diamond Motors in Marcos Hiway and he was #300 on their list. Apparently, his strada is now cleaned inside and out but could not be brought out due to the unavailability of the computer box. Nagkaubusan lang daw talaga and heavy ang demand for that part these days.
