New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[tancho_kuhaku]

yes... you are correct with the A/T

H/T- highway terrain- this came stock with your strada GLX
M/T- mud terrain - mabagsik po ito - the tread design is monstrous... ganito yung kay docglen- i think.


the benefits of the A/T tire is added traction in normal conditions especially if you are frequently driving in uneven road/trails. the grove design of the A/T are wider and deeper side-to-side while H/T indicates car-like designs.

this has been a discussed thread also, feel free to back read anytime...

Drive*Earth Inspired to you!

thanks for the clarification sir

[dadz]

galing talaga no bro ianmitsulancer hehehehehehehe to make it simple

H/T para kalsada splato o semento (Highway Terrain) not for off road, only on road.
M/T para putik, river, rock, snow. sand, etc. (Mud Terrain) not for on road, only off
road (hard core) but madaming varation depending on use. "pwede din on road
but less Traction and madaling ma pudpod hehehehehe.
A/T para sa lahat on road and off road (Soft core) it is for all application.

*GO1- i dont recall having the same issue when i rode in my friend's Strada 2.5 GLS A/T... may i meet u soon for a joyride on a rainy day?

It is actually not an issue at all hehe. It is normal when passing through a pool of water at high speed. Heavy rains last week making some portions of the Halsema Highway really wet. A joyride with you on a rainy day will be cool.

hello to everybody.

i only used my car for only a month since i buy my new strada. no fault so far experienced. share ko lang po if anybody experience while passing a water pot in the road while traveling at about 80km/hr and hit those water...at a sudden my windshield was deluge with water and visibility totally zero for at least 3 or 4 seconds.

worried lang po me if something comes in my front on that time. an accident surely will happens.

are any attachments or improvements can prevent water to splash in my windshield?

Appreciated any suggestion about my problem.

Salamat po.

Hello jr1. Yup, I agree, nakakatakot nga yun na-experience mo. Probably installing a hood deflector will help in that situation. You may want to have one installed in your strada. The hood deflector is a curved piece of plastic material placed on the front edge of your hood. Mura lang ito sa pagkakaalam ko, about P1500.

Eto naman ang sa akin, to change the mode of the discussion.

I am a satisfied strada unit owner....... so far. I own a 3.2 GLS A/T, bought September 2007, running 8,500km in my odometer. As of date, I have not encountered any of the problems that were posted here in this thread, except for an occassional beep from my TPMS, which, when I check my tires, proves to be a false alarm. Other than that, my unit is clean..... and I hope it stays that way.

I commiserate with all those who experienced and currently experiencing woes on their stradas, especially to co-club member, sir eric (siomai). Kahit na siguro sa akin mangyari yung mga kinukwento nya, mababanas din ako. A lot still have to be desired from the service centers of the mitsubishi dealers. I can see a lot of incompetencies in the service personnel of these dealers. I hope they change.

But then again, the root of the problem may be from the source, i.e., Thailand. From my point of view, it appears that a number of problems that are being encountered here is a result of poor quality control from the source. Sir av8or5's suspicion on our truck being left-handed may have credence.

I agree with ianmitsulancer's suggestion in the strada club yahoo group to all those who will submit a report of their strada's problem to av8or5, to include the vehicle identification number (VIN) so that the batch from where a certain problematic unit came from can be traced. This way, we can warn other owners from the same batch to watch out for the identified problem of that batch. And at the same time, we can have a document to show MMPC of our findings.

[tancho_kuhaku]

*sir av8or5- paki check po ng email nyo, just sent my complaint baka di nyo natanggap kasi putol2 yung net namin ngayon. just to make sure lang na u got it.

Kenny Tiu.

yes bro, definitely the fuel consumption will be affected. with the stock H/T my FC ranges from 9-10 km/l sa city driving. now 7-8 km/l na lang sa A/T ko

With all due respect to sir eric siomai, when he brought to our attention his woes sa strada and dealer niya, we immediately told him to change his service center because there were reports na medyo mahina ang customer service nila dun. And i told him personally na sandali lang ang waiting time sa dealer ko for the parts needed to correct the uneven stance. But for personal reasons, he decided to stick with his original dealer kaya nagkaganun ang strada niya. To think pareho sila ng dealer ni sir apollo_kafka (who also complained na uneven ang stance ng strada niya) and nauna pa naresolve ang strada ni apollo. Baka nagandahan sila sa PR ni apollo, hehehehe Moral of the story, hindi absolute rule yung kasabihang "Good things come to those who wait" hehehehe

Hehehe, The waters coming from sideways and front, even if you install it wont work....

Well, unless you have tried it and have experienced that it does not work under that situation , my suggestion to jr1 still stands.

In the event that the hood deflector doesn't work or help at the very least, japorms pa rin ang strada ni jr1.

Ako rin, a truly satisfied Strada owner. Mine is a 3.2 GLS Sport M/T (purchased Nov 2007), and now running 10,000+ kms. Well, after a minor glitch sa steering column, which was immediately replaced at 5,000kms, I haven't experienced other problems, except the high cost of fully synthetic oil, which casa recommends changing every 10,000km, so ok lang. Plus occasional brief false alarms from the TPMS. I just hope my truck stays in excellent condition for the next 3-5 years.
Lahat naman siguro ng truck brands may mga problematic units. I read in their respective forum regarding some problems even in recently released units. Though I agree that Mitsubishi Thailand has poor quality control!

Good Pm to All,

Just want to ask if those problems that are being discuss in this thread are those of Glx 4X2 or the Gls 4X4. I am almost decided to buy this truck. any ways I have still time to think it over coz wala pang stock ng strada. heheheh!

[ooba99]

Hehehe, The waters coming from sideways and front, even if you install it wont work....

I wonder how water coming from sideways from a water puddle would obscure the front windshield of the strada running forward at 80 km/h? Did I miss anything from my high school physics class?

sir varied po. never pa ako nakakakitang 3.2 na sira pero mine is a 2.5 gls 4x4 and may mga members and non-members na naka 4x2 glx and gl na may problems like mine.

hehe sir this happened to me friday morning. haha nagtaka rin ako e mas malinis pa yung right side ko kesa sa roof and harap pero right side un puddle. aerodynamics mostlikely. well we could see aerodynamics with the strada is working then pero pag may puddle and alam mo na dadaanan mo hindi na kailangan ng deflector. simple wiper lang kelangan.

Additional info lang po...in my experience the water are coming in bulk into my windshield and its a lot that you will not have time to start your wiper to immediately clear all those water for about 4 seconds. Its like you hit a water walls in your front. Anyway, I will have my ride installed with hood deflector. I will post what is the result...

[23car23]

Thanks Siomai,

For the quick response to my post. Is that means the lower end variants of the strada tend to be problematic? I observe recently that there are more 4x4 than 4x2 in the streets. that is what observe.

And I just test driven the 4x4glx is there any difference with the 4x2 glx? coz the sales agent told me that the test unit is only the 4x4.
