sir, welcome to the thread. i suggest you read the thread from the beginning. also best to test drive both vehicles.

i chose strada glx due to looks, ride, and bang for the bucks. My previous car was Isuzu, therefore I didnt place the dmax sa list ko. I hate isuzu now.

but in fairness to isuzu, i like the front design of their dmax, but I am scarred for life for isuzu engines (i owned an 2003 4jx1)

hey guys, just wanted to share my experience. I think it was two weeks ago, I had my car serviced back to the dealer where I bought the vehicle. citimotors las pinas. although i live in mandaluyong, I wanted it serviced there because I had to pick up my lto stickers as well. so might as well hit two birds with one stone.

anyhow, i setup an appointment with them 7am. I woke up a little late, so I arrived at 720am. guess what, some of the service advisors was outside the gate because the person who has the keys wasn't there yet. Imagine, the person arrived around 740am, so if I arrived at 7am, it would have been pointless to have set an appointment with them because the person was tardy.

next observation, the service advisor also does the pre-checklist (which i found weird because its usually done by another person/group). He didn't do a good job on doing pre-checklist as I had to tell him some missing affects inside my car for him to list it down.

next observation which pissed me off. I turned on the radio, and guess what, whoever was handling my car was probably listening to music when he/she was fixing my car, because, they changed my cd. I was surprise when I turned on the radio, its a cd that i hardly listen to. tsk tsk tsk.

i'm not sure if i should email them about this, i just hope when they service cars, not to touch anything that is not part of the PMS.

Agree. If you refer to page 3-6 of your manual, it just says "do not drive with an extremely low fuel level". Pero I still feel more comfortable if I maintain a minimum of 1/4 fuel tank level. I do not want to get stuck in traffic with that warning lamp on.

I read previously in this thread that some Strada owners were having problems with sudden loss of power. If I'm not mistaken, when they tried to maintain that habit, the problem was solved. Tama ba? I guess eto yung mga Boholanos...

Allegra, sama ako... Kahit ako na lang photographer... Hehe. Daanan mo lang ako sa UPLB...

Medyo mali ka bro! Kahit na full tank e naglo-lost power ang ilang strada sa Bohol. Yung iba pinalitan pa nga ng bagong fuel pump. Yung sa akin ay nilinisan lang. So far hindi na ulit nag lost power. Ang pinaka malapit na naiisip kong dahilan dito ay yung quality ng krudo na dumarating sa mga probinsya. Para sa akin mas maganda na lang i-maintain ng 1/4 level yung fuel kesa naman magloko ulit. Tutal wala namang mawawala sa iyo.

^ If your coming, better bring the 300C. I would rather see that one up close. . joke lang.

Sure sir donT..Maybe 1 weekend i'll catch you up with my 300..so far it's the best ride i have despite the fuel consumption..but now im trying to enjoy my new strada..getting the feeling of the 'RideTall' statement..hehe

So , it's fuel quality/filth sa fuel nga?
Wala sinabi sakin about maintaining the fuel at 1/4 ng tank , but the advisor made sure I understood wag halos mag empty yung tanke

I'm here in UPLB ngayon doc
I sometimes see your pickup when I'm riding my bike

I'll be looking for tree seedlings for sale sa muds , excuse to have fun w/ the truck na din hehe but not sure pa sa sked

Red ba Strada mo? I saw one yesterday parked near PNB Grove, with a bike on it.

.

basta CRDi ata ang engine kailangan wag bababa sa 1/4 ang fuel. something to do ata with the size of the injector as what Allegra said.

As what my dealer told me, maintain a full tank as much as possible.
So far so good, I always make it sure that my strada is in full tank.

Just arrived from davao yesterday .....
Driving for about 5hours following a PUJ
My fuel consumption counts was 9.9 km/L
Driving at around 70-90kph maintaining speed

While driving 120-160kph
It gives me 12.0 km/L

any better answer?
