went to diamond motors greenhills..nxt week or last week of july dw labas ung 4x2 nd 3.2 na strada..800k for the 4x2 dw..ung 3.2 d pa sure pero mga 1.6 dw!???grabe cguro mali ung sales rep

mali nga the 3.2 is gonna be in the sub 1.3m range even the A/T the M/T is gonna be in the low 1.2m range. this is gonna be a real bargain! the 4x2s are what they call high-rider so same stance as the 4x4 but i'm not sure if it's gonna be the sametrim level as the gls(triton plus) or the glx

Encountered my first ever problem with my Strada.. When I got home last night, nagshort yung alarm ko. When I pressed the arm button, I noticed na ayaw na mag Lock / Unlock tapos ang ingay.. pinabayaan ko lang. This morining on my way to the office, pagstart ko nagalarm bigla tapos ayaw tumigil. Kahit na nakastart na yung engine armed pa din yung system niya tapos tunog ng tunog . Already tried the override switch pero ayaw pa din. I had no choice so tinakbo ko na, while on the road alarm ng alarm kaya mga cars sa highway tumatabi akala pulis ako or something, nakakahiya! Called my service technician form CASA sabi reprograming na daw yun. Para lang hindi maginggay I disconnected the trumpet of the alarm. Guys, nangyari na ba sa inyo ito? Nasa province pa ako ngayon, kelangan ko pa iuwi Manila for service.

Louchua,

Bad trip nga yan! Subukan mo kayang palitan yung battery tapos tingnan mo na rin kung may moisture sa loob. Wala bang mitsu dealer dyan? Kung wala, meron dito sa San Pablo along the highway, baka kaya nila doon.

So far yung sa akin, 18k kms na tinatakbo at wala pa rin namang problema except doon sa occasional squeaking of the leaf springs pero madali lang lagyan ng oil. Nag off-road, nagbiyahe hanggang Samar at Ilocos Norte, hatid daily sa school, Biyaheng Manila 1-2x/week, etc., no worries. Solid at matipid pa rin. Sana ganoon lagi.

Thanks drave, ill try to do what you said about the battery.. possible kaya sa battery yun? bakit kaya bro? bigla na lang talaga e. I'm from quezon so malapit nga sfm mitsu dealer sa san pablo. pero may matagal na kilala na kami sa citimotors kaya sabi ng dad ko dun na lang tapos sabay na rin PM 4800km na kasi ako. check ko muna baka sakali magawan ng paraan yung alarm para pagbyahe ko hindi hazard ng hazard. bad trip talaga

Guys, last week on my way to Manila from the province nakakita ako ng isang trailer puno ng strada. I was surprised when i saw na lahat nung strada may sticker-like design na "Fire" sa side, sayang nga d ko napicturan. Immediately i thought na ito na yung 3.2L kasi mukhang 4x4 lahat. I talked to my service adviser yesterday sabi niya its what they call the "High Rider", meaning 4x2 na lifted pero same engine sa current strada natin, or exactly like the Triton Plus sa Thailand. Also the 3.2L is officially here, pwede na daw umorder ngayon at makukuha mo na rin agad yun ang sabi niya d lang niya alam magkano kasi taga service lang siya, toinks! I cant wait to see one.

The 3.2 and 4x2 are here -3.2 will come with lsd and wider tires and is priced at 1.21m lang yata that's less the 20k disc. Being given-Think this is the best bang for the buck pickup without a doubt

[tebs]

wow! 3.2 with lsd for 1.21M?? that's a real bargain!!

[lui]

yung 3.2 po na matic is 1.280m less 20k. may tig 880k po na variant d ko lang po masyado na verify yung specs. post ko po bukas lahat ng new price and yung specs ng strada.

Hi boosted, sorry for my ignorance, but what is lsd?

Would anybody know aside from the lsd and wider tires, what the additional features of the 3.2 4x4 na ilalabas nila dito end of July as against the 2.5 4x4? I'm excited to know.

LSD = Limited slip differential

WOW for the LSD!!! sir any idea about the wider tires. sana A/T 265/70 R16. or wider like the 275 para bagay na bagay! ala ng palitan ng gulong for those in the province. sakto kung ung stock ng pajero fieldmaster. sana ganun para all pack na!!!! parang ulam na masarap na sinubo na lang sayo!!!!

lsd-is very useful for high torque rear drive vehicles specially in turns, tires are 265/70r16 but not sure if they are a/t. the only other change i heard about is a new 7 spoke rim design-this is an exceptional deal for 1.21m

[Drave]

Baka nga malaki rin yung axles kasi higher hp and torque. Kung meron ngang lsd, super super bargain talaga. Maiba kaya yung ride kasi baka lagyan ng stiffer front and rear springs due to the added weight and power? Nevertheless, it's going to be one hell of a pick-up truck. Ang magiging complaint na lang eh yung rear bed space.

Looks and performance combined, YES.

Tumutulo na yata ang laway ko

Luv na luv ko pa rin yung sa akin (baka magtampo kasi)

id sell my vtec jazz for the new strada

keyboard ko sa office puno na ng laway


i really really like it. im tired of making iwas potholes and fearing the humps and flashfloods, lowered kasi jazz ko ahaha

sana talaga strada na for next year. ftw ang 3.2 liter version

[drey]

OT: Sir Drave, akala ko Forester bibilhin mo?

[msg]

this is why i am afraid of commitment

this is why i am afraid of marriage

what if you have already given your vow and suddenly someone

comes along, making you forget that you are bound?

well im glad cars can be sold as you wish, unlike people, who you cant just dump, well you can, hehe. ( if you have the guts, go! )

and here i am, stuck with my fit / jazz, thinking that it would be a long fairytale love affair. only to discover that the new strada aka triton has slowly grew on me.

and yes after a long while i can say that i can love again.

i can say that i am inlove and ready to let go and move on. sorry jazz but i think im meant to be with high riding and hump seeking trucks like my long lost ex green hilux. hmmm the smell of diesel is in the air. and truck love is sweeter the second time around.

all hail triton

OT: Sir Drave, akala ko Forester bibilhin mo?

Drey, talagang halos deadset na ako sa forester xt at nakumbinsi ko na si misis. Kaya lang naalala ko pamilyado na ako (2 kids and fast growing up) at tsaka pag nagbibiyahe kami eh minsan may kasamang konting friends and relatives kaya dalawang oto ang dala ko. Ayoko naman ng van at galing na ako doon.

Pero nandiyan lang naman ang scooby, at magkakaroon pa ng model change and boxer diesel in 2009-10 (isipin mo forester na matipid pa). Maraming time mag-ipon.

Sorry guys OT.
