naka order na nung replacement, tawagan na lang daw ako nung SA pag meron na..

according to a friend who works on a casa -the new steering column is already modified (countermeasure term nila) -improved design talaga since there was a batch daw na may problem - pero it's not a safety issue naman daw - it's more of a nuisance lang because of the rattle that's why there's no recall - i think it goes for all manufacturers that recalls are initiated by safety related issues. just wait for the part lang daw

Nasa MMPC website na pala ang 3.2L GLS Sport and GL and GLX 4x2 variants.

[louchua]

Good day mga sirs... Finally after days of waiting nakuha ko na din yung unit kanina. I got the silver 3.2 M/T. Pasalamat ako ky erpat kasi na convince nya talaga si ermat na ung 3.2 ang bilhin para sa akin, my mom would only buy me the GLX, e sabi ko sa erpat ko na sayang ung features nung GLS. 'Di nga ako makapaniwala kanina na minamaneho ko na ung tsikot ko... Kaya lng medyo badtrip, ang hirap ipark d2 sa appt namin. ang lapad kasi e... dapat dahandahan, kung hindi sasabit ako sa gate.

Tanong lng po ako, normal lng ba po ung rattling sound sa may bandang likod kung sakaling halimbawa naka high gear ka tapos medyo bumagal ung takbo mo kasi nagmenor ka then you would not shift to low gear? Kanina kasi naka 4th gear ako tapos nagmenor ako kasi ang bgal ng nasa harap ko then sabi nung pinsan ko, which was at the back and was the one who noticed the rattling sound, e dapat wala daw yun kasi bago pa ung car. Tama ba po sya or was he over-reacting lang.

Wanna share nga pala what i saw sa shop kanina. Pinakita kasi sa akin nung agent ung recently lang na nadisgrasya na strada gls. sabi nya na tinetest nung driver ung capability nung strada kaso nga lang minalas kasi nung pagliko nya sa may kurbada e may sumalubong sa kanya, kaya nabangga sya sa may bridge. broken into 3 pieces nga ung strada. pero what's amazing is that wala man lng ni galos ung driver... e kung titingnan mo yung strada e parang pang junk shop na. kaya bilib na ako sa strada and im quite confident with my safety....

Special tnx nga po pala kina sir *louchua and *megadeth at sa lahat na rin po ng mga nagbigay ng advices ... Share ko nlng sa inyo mga experiences ko with the strada next time...

Glad we could help. Enjoy your new ride sir! Dumadami na talaga tayo hehehe.

sir, yung nadisgrasya... buhay pa ba engine? Ang sarap mag lagay nun sa Pajero!

Sir, please explain nyo po ang rattle sound na naririnig ninyo... Usual squeakscan be heard sa leaf springs pero oil lang ang pantapat.

this is normal according to a friend who works for a dealership - i think it's even written in the owner's manual. it's not really hard starting - you just have to depress the accelerator prior to starting (of course make sure that the glow system indicator is already good to go) then it should only take one click. and this is usually only necessary when the engine is really cold such as early morning starts (i'm guessing this has something to do with the crdi sytem)

Ang pagkaalam ko sa mga CRDi, w8 for a few seconds after turning the key to ACCESORIES, at meron cyang indicator sa gauges kung pede na start.

congrats to your new 3.2 gls, konting ingat lang siguro mabilis pa sa standard na kotse yan.

.....konting ingat lang siguro mabilis pa sa standard na kotse yan.

I agree with you here, silverend. I'm driving a 3.2 A/T. Few days back, I did not notice na 100 kph na pala takbo ko sa underpass ng Q.ave - EDSA. Very stable ang ride. I don't have such feel in driving my 02 CRV. At 100 kph driving my CRV in the same stretch of Qave, ang feeling ko napakabilis ko na. Di ko ma-explain why. But in fairness, mas magaan dalhin ang 02 CRV in my experience. Well, I guess pick-ups are pick-ups and compact SUVs are cars na pinalaki at pinataas ng konti. So wala masyadong point of comparison. No regrets in getting my new strada. It is serving my purpose well. In fact, I think it is a superior pick-up.

[ooba99]

Post ko lang mileage ko with my strada 3.2 a/t. With aircon on set at 25, and my odometer reading at less than 400km, I get an average of 8 km per liter of diesel city-driving (range of 7.6 - 8.6). I'm not complaining considering that I get only 6-7 km / liter of unleaded gas from my other ride (02 CRV). Tipid pa rin. I expect to improve my mileage further once I have my 1,000 km check.

ooba99 halos same din consumption sa 4m41 ko, i'm getting 7.3 to 7.6 pure city driving. paupdate naman how much aabutin first 1k check up mo, and kung required ka mag fully synthetic sa awesome strada mo. curious lang po. congrats sa new ride again

[louchua]

4X2 po ba un white? Maganda pa rin!

yes yun ang 4x2, notice the mags pang GLX siya. Parang mali lang ata yung pricing na nilagay nila.. 2.5 GLS Sport ang nakalagay instead na 3.2. So phased out na pala ang 2.5 GLS A/T? M/T na lang ang available?

[loveMYride]

lol nakuha ko strada ko last wednesday lang kinabukasan pinunta ko agad sa farm ko, pag dating sa offroad may nagiingay sa dashboard sa baba lang ng LCD monitor banda tsaka yung ingay sa may upoan sa likod meron din T_T yung akin GLS sport 4X4 3.2 i dont know anong difference nito sa GLS


will be posting my pics anytime next week

Thank you, promdiboy. My SA recommended to use regular engine oil on my 1k check up and thereafter, para every 5k daw ang change oil. This way mache-check ko na rin daw ang dapat ma-check under the hood as frequent. Well, sounds reasonable. I'll do some research on the validity of my SA's recommendation. Comments on this are welcome. May thread ba tungkol dito?

On the cost of the 1st check-up at 1k, baka matagalan ng konti bago ko mai-post. I do not intend to use my strada until after my car plates are out.

Let's ask other 3.2 strada owners: mga bros, paki-post naman how much did you spend for your 1000 km check-up. Thanks.

OT: Di ko maintindihan bakit LTO gives only 7 days leeway for you to use a new vehicle without the car plates after delivery when they cannot issue the same within that period of time. Sabi sa casa, after 3-4 weeks pa daw ang plates mare-release. Mukhang something is wrong here. This can be a source of mulcting (Pilipino translation: dilihensiya, kotong).Syempre, excited ka gamitin yung bagong car mo even beyond the 7-day period and will risk getting apprehended.

[promdiboy]

iba iba talaga sinasabi ng mitsu SA. sabi saakin kasi pwede mavoid warranty if i choose regular oil sa new 4m41. kaya napa synthetic ako. thanks sa info ooba99. will ask my SA again kung bakit sa strada pwede.

This week, I see more Strada's than Hilux's... Mainly mga walang plates pa...

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that you should only start using synthetic oil after your ride has logged 20,000 kms. The reason given was that your ride's engine will not break-in properly if you use synthetic from the very start. The engine's internals need to have a little "setting-in" daw.

Re license plates, it's not the LTO that gives the 7-day limit but the TMG.;)

Dito sa amin, parang mas dumadami na ang strada kesa sa dmax. Hilux at ranger, kokonti talaga. Marami yung glx pero may nakita akong dalawang 3.2 na silver and red. Kaya nagpalit ako ng mags noon pa para may identity hehehe....
