New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[Arvin Cristi]

negative aspects of owning a strada:

1. attracts too much attention
2. spare tire not secured enough
3. for glx models, tires too thin
4. stock horn sounds like a wimp
5. budget draining because of too much cool after-market accessories
6. porma is not worth to be used as a work horse... sayang!

hehehehehehe sir, you couldn't have said it any better, sayang nga isugod sa putikan, pero somehow, mine always looks soooooo much better after a huge mud bath!!!

7. insomnia - whether it's because you'd want to spend more time in your ride or just can't sleep thinking about it

oo nga bro, people often have an impression na strada owners are rich kids that did not grow up, hehehe. pero the truth is that we are just enjoying life to the fullest.... OM SHANTI! (di ako kasama sa rich kids, hehehe)

sir arvin thanks sa reply.

aside from the positive things i hear about your cars, now i would rather want to hear on what you dont like about them. i want to know the nagative side of having the strada. hehe

thanks po ulit!

it seems like i missed out on a lot ha! i'm still working on the article. plus i'm attending to my space wagon that got bumped when i was with you guys.

*ooba99- that is exactly how i feel when the firewall reacts to my internet surfing! - to simply login to tsikot to join you guys is starting to be a hassle- but some of my techie officemates try to hack the system but not worth the risk.

*jondy- welcome to the thread- i'm sure you must have felt the "outbreak" of the club. admitingly, the Strada does not come from Utopia - where everything is perfect. there are several pages of this thread that addressed issues of the strada vented out by its owners. its quite a handful of them and i'm pleased to inform you that most, if not all of them, are RESOLVED. please feel free to back read as much as u can as im saving my energy for the club for the recently concluded 4th EB article. sorry for that. As for the cargo bed, that is the outcome of market research that pick-ups are also being used as a family car and is being used more as a sedan replacement- thus, more interior room is needed. So designers did the best they can to make the BALANCE between the cabin and the truckbed.

thank you. back to the article for me.

hello guys!

had this experience kahapon. i was trailing this white gls sport strada. pa overtake na sana ako when his overfender suddenly was ripped of. i think he was travelling 160kph. buti nalang hindi ako natamaan. did one of you guys experienced this already? kc where planning to get the 3.2 strada. now im having doubts of its quality. meron din kc ako nakita dito banda sa amin na wla na yung kabilang overfender nya. actually ive seen 4 cars already na kulang ang overfender including yung kahapon.

Whoa! seryoso? akala ko pa naman fluke lang yung nangyari sa akin.. tsk tsk. pero napalitan naman na for free. medyo makikipagtalo ka nga lang with casa. nakakagulat lang na nangyayari din pala ito sa iba.

For those who have installed roll n lock (whether manual or remote), saan kayo nagpa-install and how much? Di ba talaga waterproof? I'm choosing between roll n lock vs soft top, pero since gusto ko puede mag-iwan ng gamit sa truck bed kahit sa parking, I might go for the roll n lock.

Salamat atty. Bakit wala na post from mehealator?

during the 2nd eb, he told us that he usually stays abroad for his work then pauwi-uwi lang sa pinas... baka busy lang

[boybit]

maliit na cargo bed
ung stock mags sa mitsubishi lang din magkakasya

meron pa ba? wala na akong maisip eh...

stradaphilia??? pag nagka strada ka na mahahawa ka na samin...

maliit ang leg room sa front passenger side except kung nakasagad sa likod at kung la pasahero sa likod, mababa yun plastic handle where the power window switch located tumatama sa tuhod kaya mukhang masikip sa driver from left tuhod, masyado mababa console box kaya d ko maipatong yun siko ko. yun beige color ng interior dumihin. aircon louver mahirap i direct sa face when driving sa side kasi. manipis kaha prone sa dimpol. nag vivibrate yun likod kapag nagshift ka alanganin. any way ,gusto ko parin ang strada

That's the spirit. That's sir boybit. And he is a member of the BOSBs. Unconditional ang love sa strada, hehehe.

mga bossing tanong ko lang po sa inyo kung paano malalaman kung defective po ung turbo. last january ko lang po nakuha strada glx ko, ok naman sha nung bagong labas, nararamdaman ko pa na nagbu-boost ung speed ng engine kapag umabot ng 2,000 to 2,500rpm, after ko magpa-PMS ng first 1k kilomter napansin ko umingay ung makina tapos parang sakal na ung makina kapag umabot ng 2,500rpm, parang hindi ko na nararamdaman na gumagana pa ung turbo.

sana po matulungan nyo po ako sa problema ko. thanks in advance!

I guess the best thing to do is to bring it back to where you had the 1k PMS done, tapos sabihin mo napansin mo. Maybe they can do some tests. If not convinced, you can go to other dealers. May mga suggested dealers na nabanggit earlier in this thread. Hirap lang mag back read. Saan ba location nyo sir mike18?
