New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[tancho_kuhaku]

hi tancho,

what i meant was gears 1-4. the display doesn't include that information. only tells you you're in D, R, N, or P

sir si sir ooba po yata yung kausap nyo.

[Skippy]

toink

hehehe.

see you folks friday

hi guys whats up?, just spoke to my bro back home and so far so good naman daw yong strada, it has only covered 600plus kms so medya medya daw muna yong piga 160kph limit til the 1000kms pms.

by the way one thing i'm curious about, how accurate be itong MID ng strada? can you really rely on it esp. with the fuel-km computer?
sabi din ng brother ko at 150kph it says 14kms/liter, it's weird isn't it? dapat lalakas yong consumption at high speed di po ba? has any body there with the same reading? 3.2 m/t

i drive ford focus here and i can say with it's MID it is pretty much reliable, i have tested the trip computer to '0 miles to empty' pero nakatakbo pa rin ng mga 5 miles to gas station.

sir, im no expert but it would seem that the limit before you reach the 1000kms mark is 100 kph and no sudden acceleration and braking. running your strada at 160kph before the first change oil is somewhat detrimental to your engine . but its just me, i might be wrong

thanks for the reply bro. in fact yon din ang advised ko sa bro ko, pero chief mechanic ng casa had told him to limit to that speed muna, to be safe. sabi din kasi ng bro ko ang 160kph sa 3.2 para lang daw naka 90kph sa dati naming strada 03. la daw ka pwersa pwersa abutin. that's according to him can't attest till i drove it myself.

tama ka dyan, powerful talaga ang 3.2...

but tell your brother to ask other mechanics ng ibang casa... and to check the manual just to be sure

Bro, baka nga di accurate ang MID...

Before, I tried running at 80kmh and MID's FC stabilized at 15km/L. When I tried 100kmh, FC went down to 12km/L.

Sir Skippy, pasensya na, medyo mahina pick-up ko ngayon, pero para saan mo gamit yung display na gears 1-4, if ever that option is available for automatic transmission?

[DonT]

Are there locally available vehicles na may ganitong feature?

[ooba99]

Sir DonT, sa pagkakaalam ko wala. Actually, wish lang sya ni sir skippy para sa bagong strada 3.2 A/T nya.

I still cannot see the use for it kung existing nga feature na to.

[wulf_geo]

Captiva sir meron. It's usefull if you're using the semi-auto drive mode. it's still usefull in full auto mode so one knows what gear he's on and can step on the accelerator a little to upshift the gear. can improve FC

i'm impressed with the reading you've shown bro, 40km/'L * 36km/h, that is brilliant, dmax owners are claiming well more likely bragging with their 40km/L* 30km/h, you wouldn't mind if post this pic at isuzu dmax's thread would you? hehe joke lang. btw those figures about 80km/h * 15km/l and 100km/h are pretty much realistic. thanks for sharing this bro, i will have my brother checked this out para ma compare niya with your MID's reading.

Hmmm... meron pala talaga nyan.

Well, over time, in driving an auto tranny, one will learn how to deliberately shift to a higher or lower gear using the accelerator pedal, as bro Dadz have mentioned earlier. This maneuver can be used to help improve one's fuel consumption.

hi ooba99,

yep, have it in my mazda. as the others said, quite useful when driving in activematic mode. i use the manual mode 99% of the time in my car.

pero nasasanay nako sa strada iadjust yung tapak ng pedal. medyo mas smooth na yung driving ko ngayon. yun nga lang naspoil ako sa mazda. even with the rainsensing wiper sensors. hehehe. ngayon balik adjust ako everytime nagbabago yung bagsak ng ulan.

no big deal. di ko naman naexpect sa pickup yan. in fact, i'm very impressed with the transition. i was expecting a couple of months. first week pa lang, wala na yung kaba ko, even sa tight parking... park na lang sa malayo hahaha, honestly, it's almost like driving a car... kaya meron din ako car-like expectations... which is a good indication as i think this is what the strada is all about, that a pickup need not be all utilitarian. dami na-impress sa interior ng strada pati na rin yung level of clatter ng diesel...

can't wait to experience the turbo kick on this puppy. 750kms to go...

welcome to the new owners and great you guys are enjoying your Strada. Drive safely.

as all of you noticed, those auto-tranny with manual modes have those gears indicators, but the strada is only auto-tranny with no manual modes, so its not applicable

Good day, quote ko lang dito yung post ko sa kabilang thread about inquiries sa Strada, baka mas maraming sumagot. thanks!

Good day, we're also planning on buying a 4x2 pickup for city driving and to haul my bike, probably by the end of the year. Choices din namin DMAX or Strada, yung basic models lang. We also looked at Toyota Hilux, but it seems that the basic model is lacking some safety feature. Parang mas gusto ko na ang Strada GL, or kung kakayanin, yung GLX na. I just wanna ask dun sa kakabili lang, what's the difference between GLX sa GL from an owners perspective. With the 70k+ difference, should I go with the GL or GLX. Also, can I change the tires so that it can look more aggressive "4x4 look" :D.

Thanks for the input! How about the old Strada concerns? Like yung steering daw, are those resolved na sa mga bagong labas na Strada? I'm excited na to drive my first pickup. :D

go for the glx na if you plan to upgrade the look...

dun sa steering issues, mukhang wala na sa mga bagong labas... dun sa mga previous models naman, di siya safety concern and in 30 minutes, kayang gawin sa casa.

2008 or 2009 model eto?

MID ko kasi L/100km ,,,,, i dont think accurate ang computation ng MID...

You can adjust the unit used from L/km to km/L. Please refer to manual. I got this value on my way down from Baguio.
