I'll be ordering it from the dealer next week and I can't wait to take her out for a spin.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen this locally? It's a soft top cover for the bed. I'm definitely interested in getting this.

its indeed very interesting to see something retractable like that! will come in very handy should TALL objects have to be hauled by your Strada.

What i am concerned about will be the Cost, ALL WEATHER & LIFETIME DURABILITY! i hope the canvass won't let water seep in despite weatherprof stripings and it wont suddenly fall apart on high speeds and the canvas will flutter like Superman flying in the sky!

hmmm...diba dapat alam nila ang model name ng car that they are servicing. hehehhe.

Pare..ganda naman estrada mo. pare...its (blank blank blank) Strada!

dapat Triton na lang...meron kasi problem ang ibang pinoy when pronunciating "S".

ie. special = especial

sige..OT na ako..papatawa lang po .

my turn for a joke... hehehe

Back in 2002, my 70 year old tita was on the market for something a bigger than her 4-door sedan. she first thought of the Pajero-Field Master- but it was too expensive for her! Also, the Outlander and Montero Sport were not on sale yet. So I suggested the Strada + canopy! What will I do with a pick-up like the Strada?! she asked. I replied: Uhmmm... put an "E" at the start of the name i suppose... That made her laugh since she was not in favor of the Erap administration. She eventually settled for the Lancer GLS CVT and still happy with it.

The Strada never crossed her mind again from then on... perhaps the Wagon (2008 thai debut of the Triton G-Wagon) version will!

JVC? i would prefer a kenwood/pioneer... perhaps any who sees it can perhaps test the unit and see how it performs. better than the current kenwood HU?

i wish the product planners would install the ANTI-TRAP auto up/down power window- at least on the driver side- hindi lang pang euro spec! the outlander has IDEALLY it in all 4 windows!

17" mags? i think it might be the one on the WARRIOR model in the UK Market- my avatar/picture has it... love the design! i was hoping this would be the one equipped in the first place! i first saw this during the 2nd manila int'l motorshow.

but nothing beats seeing the real thing... is it out on the showrooms na?

2nd time po sa thread and medyo lost track of trend.

When I inquired for 2.5GLS sa Marcos Hi-Way Mitsu, sabi nila wala na raw lumalabas na ganito ngayon... puro 3.2 Sports na...

Do you confirm this from other dealers? Sayang naman about 0.7 less displacement for better FC since Ok lang naman sa akin manual.

naka JVC HU yung sa akin.. i compared the sound quality of mine to the Kenwood HU, mas maganda yung sa JVC, para kang may subs kahit wala.. tsaka andun sa right side ng HU yung USB slot, hindi tulad ng Kenwood na nasa loob ng glove box yung USB slot.

+1
Standard na ang ganyang features sa JDM models ng Mitsubishi. So sad, naunahan pa ng [H] ang pag introduce ng ganyang features dito.

Sana meron din yung Fast Key System

Hindi ko lang kasi makita yung thread dito regarding sa fuel consumption ng Strada 3.2 GLS sport. Paki reply nalang po to those who have 3.2L. I'm planning to get one soon. Salamat

Sa akin, 7-8.5 km/L city driving with no passengers, 9.5-11 km/L highway driving with full passenger capacity.

I was told by Xenon Bulbs na meron sila H4 na low and high both HID. Havent tried it though so havent seen it if mabagal pag nag flick ka ng pass light. Probably, magchacharge pa nga sya kasi ng HID pa so mabagal ang effect. Parang balewala rin. That is why, IMHO, impractical at hindi advisable na ang High beam mo ay HID rin + pag naka high beam ka naman halos wala ng pinagkaiba sa HID in terms of reach ng beam.
