New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ooba99]

hello there. this is my first post. been reading your thread for sometime and noticed how you all loved your strada. been waiting for my unit since february, orignally 2.5 gls but out of stock till we finally opt for the 3.2 GLS. any comment on the 3.2?

Hi! I was supposed to order a Strada last month but I decided to postpone it for until the 2nd Quarter of the year. Anyway, I'm planning to get the GLS Sport version and I would like to know what is the average fuel consumption of the Strada? How many kms can it run on a liter of diesel?

Hello sirs wulf_geo and seeraulo, I have a 3.2 a/t. Mas magaan dalhin kesa 2.5 as per my test drive before I bought my unit. The difference of the P60,000 from the 2.5 variant at that time is value for money for the additional horses and torque, aside from the wider tires, larger rims (?), EBD, LSD, etc. Please correct me here if I am wrong.

As to the fuel consumption, I get 7-8 km/L pure city driving and 10-12 in the highways. Combined city and highway, it is 8-10. I believe mas matipid pa rin ang 2.5 variant. Theoretically, the 3.2 would be getting a better fuel consumption as the explanation offered by ThePatriarch. Probably this is true if the fuel consumption measurement is limited a running vehicle through and through. In reality, the larger engine that runs even if the vehicle is not running have a toll on the total fuel consumption. Just my two cents.

But don't get me wrong, I am fully satisfied with my strada.

I hope this helps.[/quote]

Good Day to everyone. This is bobcas just joined the commnity yesterday and hope to be a member of the club soon. I have a query for doc boz, by SFM San Pablo do you mean San Pablo City, Laguna? My ride would need to have her 1k checkup real soon ans would need to know where to get a fully synthetic oil at the cheapest price.

well I sell 3700 for 2 gallon crdi motul,100% synthetic, pag xp sa eldorado ka kumuha, 1750 per gallon

Yup, DIY design. Marami ditong pwedeng gumawa niyan at pulido din naman. Pero yung sharp angle nung back-sloping rollbar, hindi kaya sa bender. Parang bevel-cut and weld procedure.

well that kind of design is easy to fabricate. our mainline of business is contractor and fabricator of stainless handrails as well as kitchen equipment. it is not bended but welded and finish it as if it is a whole, madali lang yan pag may design na pag kokopyahan or design ur own. my no. 09228229016 if interested.

Comment ko lang is nakaka-inggit mga naka 3.2 GLS Sport...2.5 GLS lang kasi ako.

Sir moxxxs, there is a saying that "the grass is greener at the other side of the fence".

Ako, I envy those with 2.5 variants kasi mas matipid sa diesel.







Hehehe, pampalubag loob lang yun. Power-trip talaga ang dahilan kung bakit ko kinuha yung 3.2. And, of course, the prestige, hehehe. Kahit nabutas ang bulsa ko.


OT: sir moxxxs, kumusta bakasyon?

Good Day BSOBs, on the matter of oil change. AutoPlus at EDSA infront of the Freedom Monument is the distributor of Motul and they have this Motul 2000 Multidiesel (mineral) which they are selling for 1800/gal was not able to ask if they have the CRDI lubricant (tel no.7260399). El dorado (Bicutan-8229097/ Megamall-6314019) or Atco (Pasay) is selling the original oil filter (3.2li) for 850.

parang mahal sa 1800 yun mineral oil ng autoplus, sure ka mineral lang yan?, i sell mine for slightly higher but fully synthetic, galing din sa autoplus yun sakin but dealers price

sir gls sport, hndi normal yun na hndi pantay..may allowalble lang na difference hndi ko ma alala kung ilan (paging sir arvin) siya nag bangit sakin dati ng allowable difference during one of our mini inuman eb's..5mm lang dapat..
pa check mo sayo sir..

Sir eslonblue, the difference in height should not be more than 1 cm. Of course with other factors constant. This I remember from earlier posts and discussions in this thread.

Sobrang haba na kasi nitong thread, hirap ng hanapin. If more than that, you should have it checked with the casa. If truly more than the allowable height difference, the casa usually fix it for free under warranty.

I agree with you at least u'll have the extra power when u needed it most. I bought glx coz im planning to buy another car"civic" but instead kia carens nalng kukunin. yun kotse next year na cguro pag lumabas na yun lancer at maganda ang price like strada.

Sir boybit you might be right it was most probably be the CRDI that they quoted me on at 1800/gallon and 540/li. For those interested just call them.
