New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[locoroco777]

Just this am, I saw this black Strada GLX at SFM San Pablo. I noted all of the above except for the new alloy wheel design. Parang same lang ng 2009...





According to the SA, may isa pang black GLX available... Bili na. Here's the contact no. of SA Celso 09209283215.

astig! thanks doc boz for posting.....Im sure lahat ng mga naghahanap ng GLX na hindi makakita sa manila ay willing dumayo dyan

may steering remote na din yung radio....hehehe ayus!

I think GLS & GLS Sport are almost identical, except GLS Sport is A/T, smart choice between 3.2 or 2.5, if your criteria is power then no doubt it is 3.2, Cost wise then it is 2.5

Good day to all of you... If money ain't the issue, I'll go for the powerful 3.2 gls sports manual. But if you think 1.2m+ is too much. You can always go for the mild but reliable 2.5 gls engine. Same astig factor as its higher siblings.

*Sir Dadz,

looking at the string of variants for the thai Triton, what sparked my interest is the Single Cab 4x4 3.2 A/T (boxed in red 3x). Have you seen this up close? test drove it? I'm sure kahit na automatic siya, acceleration will be out of this world with that being more lightweight!

sorry sir Patriarch!!! sa sobrang excitement hindi ko na nahalata yun tinype ko at salamat po sa mga advices nyo..

[tancho_kuhaku]

Hopefully I will be getting my unit next week, can you advice me kung anong magandang tint na ikabit. Balak ko sana super dark but now your saying na nadidiliman ka, anong shade ang maganda? nagfufull tint ba ang casa ng windshield?

how bout trying medium black sa front and windshield and super black sa back, like what tehyre saying.

*howard,moxxs,LR777- thanks and more power to TSCP!

blame the quality of diesel locally.

AFAIK, SCV lang ang issue sa engine, but If you look at it the SCV is not the problem its the quality of fuel here in our country is the culprit.

Dumi talaga diesel natin. Tapos, madumi pa reservoir ng mga gasoline stations.

Mas maingay ang makina ng 3.2L. At mas mahal ang maintenance.

just saw this at Botchi's column for the website of Top Gear Phils.:

Hi! Good day!
My husband and I are planning to buy a car next year. Our choices are the Strada 2.5 GL 4x2 of Mitsubishi and the Hilux 2.5 4x2 of Toyota. We are still looking for some advice as to which car should we buy. We would be very grateful to hear from you. Please help.
Thank you and more power!
Edith

Hi, Edith,
Thanks for taking the time to write to Top Gear Philippines. We're always glad to help out people in their car-buying dilemma.
I love these two pickups, especially the top-model 4x4 automatic transmission variants. But with value-for-money factor entering the equation, this is a no-brainer situation!
The Mitsubishi Strada is the number one pickup in terms of overall sales (all variants) based on CAMPI reports. It's not hard to see why because:
1. It's far cheaper than the Hilux
2. The 2.5 engine of the Strada is much more powerful compared to the 2.5 of the Hilux but fuel consumption is comparable, averaging about 9km/liter in-city and some highway driving.
3. The added ride-height, comparable to the 4x4 variant is a welcome feature, giving you increased versatility and utility especially in floods, rough road and weather conditions
4. It has the tightest cornering radius in its class of 5.9 meters as compared to the Hilux which is 6.15 meters. This means that when making tight U-turns, the Strada will be able to do it in a breeze compared to the Hilux.
5. The Strada has the roomiest rear-seat accomodations in its class (I have the current Hilux myself, I speak from experience on this one) but the Hilux has slightly more comfortable and roomier front seats.
6. Although the Strada rides firmer, the Hilux is bouncier so long drives are less nauseous in a Strada than the Hilux but the Strada does wear you out.
7. The looks. Strada looks 10x better than a Hilux.
Hope this column helps you decide!
Good luck!

firstly, i hope the dealer can fulfill your desire for getting the strada by next week.

in most cases, they SHOULD be able to do a full glass tint for the front windshield and just about any other one-piece glass installed in your car.

hmmm... regarding the shade, it is a case to case basis... on what is best for your vision... perhaps a light shade of 3M magic tint will do... it will give a perfect contrast once you have the door sash painted black...

especially if you are using eyeglasses po. Do take note that reversing the Strada will require extra care on your part since i presume that you will be dealing with an longer vehicle. good luck on that po.

you might want to wait for the advice of the others as well... HTH.

Bilib na talaga ako sa iyo. You are right in two things. First bilib ako dahil naalala mo pa na balak kong ipapaint na black ang door sash. Galing! Second, tama ka hanggang wish na lang ang desire kong makuha ang unit ko next week dahil according to Jessa, baka 2 weeks pa ang hintayin ko dahil sa choice of color ko na dark gray.

I finally saw the 2010 glx. I was disappointed in two things. First, akala ko 16x6 na ang alloy rims ng bagong unit pero yung stock mags and tires parin ng 2009 ang ginamit. Second, sa 4x4 variants lang available ang black floor console with big armrest. Same pa rin sa old model ang nakakabit sa bagong model. Don't get me wrong may magagandang points din naman like the new fabric of the seats, steering wheel mounted audio control, and in my own opinion mas astig ang black color ng front foglamps over body colored bumper.

[nanofossil]

sir, painitan mo muna siguro yung headlights mo before mo kabit yung projector...hehe

good idea... hehehehe

*howard,moxxs,LR777- thanks and more power to TSCP!

hey TK sa tingin ko di mo na bibilhin ang oem mags ng 2010 strada ko kasi same lang ng mags mo. by the way, nice work on the poster!

[ThePatriarch]

TSCP mini EB tomorrow night, Friday, September 18, 2009 8 pm at Metrowalk.

Hope to see you there! Planning session tayo for the Sagada Expedition and other upcoming club activities.

thank you po, sir...

Please don't fret po. The Wheel/Tire package is something that is always "upgradable" and can always be removed/replaced/changed. As for the current availability of units, the inventory per dealer is something we cannot get control of (wish ko lang). But knowing Jessa, based on what has been said about her, is doing her best. I'm pretty sure you can give her the benefit of the doubt despite the lenghtly time of waiting...

In the meantime, here is hoping you still get to have a good nights rest... hehehe...

sir boz posted a glx black at San Pablo Mitsubishi Dealer...maybe you want to check it out and maybe they also have your color sir. too bad, the mags are the same as 2009, but then again, you can always upgrade it.

disappoiting... sabi ng SA bago design ng mags? musta naman interior? di na blue ang instrument meter cluster? alin mas maganda? haaay... wawa naman tayong naghintay.

thanks, sir!
