New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ivantage]

Mr. DOnt thank you.,. can i ask another one regarding sa ride- malayo ba talaga difference sa ride ng sedan compared sa FRONT SEAT ride ng strada 4x4? If ever nsa concrete asphalt road naman..

Ent_Md's post indeed says that the D-max is the most economical having a fuel consumption of 8.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. That's 11.9km/l. Next na pinakamatipid according to Ent_Md's post is the 3.0 Hilux (11.76km/l), then the 2.5 Navarra (10.20km/l). The 3.2 Triton/Strada and the 3.0 Ranger are the least economical having a FC of 9.62km/l.

ows im sorry, l/100km pala yong figure kala ko km/l, definitely the dmax is the most economical don sa figures, however it is not as prompt as the others.

I drive the low end version of the Strada here in KSA and I do can't complain much. I also used to drive the low end version of the Hilux when I was in Oman. Matagtag talaga.

Sa pinas naman I have the GLS Sport version, I do not feel that its more bone jarring than a sedan. Although iba talaga ang ride ng kotse dahil physically iba ang suspension nila. We have to compare apples to apples ika nga. The only thing i felt different was the rolling of the truck. Medyo naninibago lang ako. Mataas kasi ang center of gravity kaya dapat maingat at wag pabigla bigla sa pag swerving.

Yun nga din po ang concern ko, buti sana kung ang kalsada naten eh kasing ayos sa states, di tayo magkakaproblema sa pang ilalim, eh kaya lang parang di nga kagandahan eh kaya gusto ko sana pick up talga (strada)

here is my 1 week old strada 07 2.5 liter GLX 4x2. as of today. 400km. all stock so far.

farthest place it travelled was to our house in tagaytay.

ride is good for a truck, better FC then my old SUV, more quiet. but one thing i have to get used to is the high clutch. i read somewhere that this can be adjusted. ill have it adjusted on my 1k checkup. so far so good.

TO 3.2 owner ,

Malakas na malakas na po ba talaga tunog engine if nasa 100kph na takbo? usually kc kasama ko wife ko and baby, bka they will not feel comfortable pag malakas na engine on that speed. un lang kc max speed ko if they are with me. Im planning to sell my '04 sedan and get a 4x4 matic STRADA. I prefer pick-up because of business reason.

By the way sa front seat hinda naman po matagtag? sana sa rear seats lang ang tagtag

Thanks in advance..

It's my first pickup and I came from a big sedan myself , and a pickup took a little getting used to ( handling amd ride quality )
The engine is a little loud pero not unpleasant, it growls I actually like the sound at high revs
At 100kph , like DonT said the engine isnt even trying hard
Matagtag siya if you compare it w/ your sedan, but di naman uncomfortable and I doubt the baby will notice ( the wife might )
Sa rear seats ...it's worse hehe
Subjective naman yan
But it's worth it considering I can do 140kph at the SLEX at 10km/li ( if the computer can be trusted )
I drive a 100km a day sa weekdays yet I dont miss my old car
I'd say go for it

I'm glad I'm not the only one, sobra taas ng clutch
I had my clutch adjusted the very next day at the dealer

Sabi nung dealer ko okay lang naman magdagdag sa sound system just as long as kung magkaproblema sa electrical, hindi yung pagkakakabit sa mga yun ang dahilan nung problema. Kaya make sure kung magpapakabit ka bagong sound system, dun sa professionals.

Dun ako nagpa-setup kay mickey. Suggestion nya dun sa ilalim nung front passenger seat pero dun ko na pinalagay sa likod ng rear seat. RF 12" shallow sub ginamit, yung amp ko na lang nasa ilalim ng front passenger seat, at morel dotech ovation 6 seps sa harap. Pinalitan ko na rin yung HU ko ng pioneer 7950ub para pwede sa ipod and 160Gb portable HDD ko.

yes sir, kasya sa likod yung enclosed sub na pinagawa ko. GLX ang drive ko pero I don't think may pinagkaiba naman sa space sa likod ng rear seat between GLS and GLX. Yes, you're right, may pinatanggal ako, yung lalagyan ng jack. Di kasi lalapat ng maayos yung baffles at hindi mai-lock yung seat pag di tinanggal yun. small price to pay for better sounds.

Siguro gumastos ako ng around 55K sa initial setup. Ang nakapagpamahal talaga dun (medyo luho na nga yun) yung morel dotech ovation 6 separates, which cost me around 17-18k. Gusto ko kasi maganda ang quality ng output sa front.

Then, of course, yung enclosed sub (around 9-10k ata) kasi kulang sa bass yung setup pag wala e. yung seps and sub sa isang crunch powerzone pZi175.4 4-channel amp (around 9k) nakakabit (which is under the front passenger seat).

yung rear stock speakers ko sa HU (i changed my HU to pioneer 7950UB, around 11k at that time) na lang at binawasan ko volume para di sabog sa tunog. I'll upgrade it later with a set of morel coaxials.

Tanong ninyo rin sa dealers nyo kung di nga ma-void ang warranty when you upgrade your sound setup. If you decide to do so, you can have it done at Mickeys Autosound (where I had mine done) in Cainta or sa shop ni Jeff Tan in Araneta Avenue (kung budget setup ang gusto mo).

Thanks bro.. pics naman ng sub set up mo sa rear kung pwede para may idea lang ako.

I'm excited again to drive my new strada to davao city

anyway....

ASK ko lang sa mga owners ng STRADA


napansin ko kasi when i hit around 100-120kph
tapos merong konteng lubak sa kalsada
nagiging bouncy xa, natatakot ako minsan na baka mag out of control
im not familiar pa talaga with my ride

Have u experienced this? suggestions naman
