New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ThePatriarch]

Maybe you're there and we're here.
Hope you know what i mean
Maybe we got different road conditions
Maybe one day by chance, you can explore our roads here...
So that we could here feedbacks from you.
Ganda kasi ng kalsada nyo dyan.

If you think we're exaggerating, thats fine with us
Just like with other pick-up thread, they said it's normal

I'm just glad to say you did a great help in enjoying my ride
Drive Inspired... peace

uy, may pagka-poetic pala si sir nismo26!

iba tlga ang strada natin compared to older generation....i was just pointing out that even with its name "strada", iba ang handling and feel of current to old generation that sometimes we can't compare to other pickups as well...

i'm still a happy camper with my strada.

You're right sir, to be impartial and not to offend anybody, we should not compare - we evaluate and assess. that's what i told MMPC and our local mitsu service center. Ones extensive driving experience and the variety of cars driven could come handy- it helps establish baseline/norm or standard. Of course the observation and feedback from other drivers also differntiate my tolerance/sensitivity. And if a majority have the same observation then that's the time i make a conclusion. I tried to be scientific and methodical in my approach so that mitsu and you guys wudnt think im getting unreasonable. hehehe

keep us posted on the development of your ride sir...

here is one observation sa ride ko..there are times that super quiet sya and lakas power..there are times naman that a little noisy and not as powerful....but then..i observed this on my old ride which was also crdi....could it be a characteristics of crdi? it really doesnt bother me much..but just noticed the differences... inputs na lang from all.

the sound is noticebly different.

same observation specially when you stock on the traffic. after the traffic try to run on higher speed the turbo boost are late to activate, the engine is louder than normal sound.. i don't know or just halucination (o napapraning lang)..

guys alam ko yung 4x4 mitsu paj meron traction control diba? sa strada natin na high-end meron po ba? if wala what other features meron sa strada natin na nag compensate nyan? LSD(tama po ba yung term)? how bout yung montero sport? pls enlighten me.

[bluemica]

bato bato sa langit ang tamaan..... guilty! hahaha

[ianmitsulancer]

+1 on this.. minsan nga tuloy hindi na natin alam kung sino ang nag iinarte o sino ang may topak na strada. anyway, i hope kahit anong mangyari tuloy pa din ang tulungan natin

iba tlga ang strada natin compared to older generation....i was just pointing out that even with its name "strada", iba ang handling and feel of current to old generation that sometimes we can't compare to other pickups as well...

+1 .....no pick-up is perfect..but helping each other is the best solution....we shouldnt be afraid to post any problems we noticed on our rides, from mere simple ones to extremes. at least potential owners will know what to expect from this vehicle...but madami rin strada owner's that are happy with their rides vs those who regret buying it.

+1!!! amen to it... mga sirs and madams...

basta best effort sa makakaya po natin to answer any queries about the strada (to the best of what we know).

about av8or5's comment on the CRDi noises, yup i noticed this from the Strada service vehicle (first batch 2.5 GLS A/T 2006) na iba ang kapag once engine is switched on and after running for some time- in motion or in idle. it has been this way for a year now and it didn't pose any sort of issue on the truck. it could be with the CRDi system.

*tancho_kuhaku,

here are the traction control systems for the Mitsu cars you mentioned:

Pajero 3.2 D-iD and 3.8 V6 (2007-present BK and 2003-2006 CK series) M-ASTC Mitsubishi Active Stability Traction Control System
Mitsubishi Active Stability and Traction Control is a state-of-the-art safety system. It regulates braking force to each wheel during cornering to ensure excellent stability. The system also maintains optimum traction in all conditions, on and off-road. M-ASTC prevents tyre spin on slippery surfaces and minimises the risk of drift caused by over-accelerating in corners.

All New Montero Sport 3.2 GLS SE and 2007 - present Strada 3.2 GLS Sport M/T and A/T - Hybrid Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
click here to know more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_Slip_Differential
IMO, the Hybrid LSD may like the usual LSD found in other cars also. But it could be as capable as the Forutner's Torsen LSD:

Good Afternoon to all strada lovers, ask ko lang how many days ba ma ship ang cars from thailand to philippines, sabi ng SA it takes 4 to 5 days? is it true? Im still waiting for my unit and he told me na wala daw nasakay na strada kasi inu na daw nila ang montero, here in cebu alone they have 21 orders di pa kasama ang dealers sa kalapit na dealers like negros, ilo ilo and some parts sa visayas. Montero daw is selling like hotcakes....kaya ang tagal ng strada ko dumating, im starting to love my L300 van na non aircon, hindi power steering, hirap magparking!...been waiting for almost 2 weeks and I guess 2 weeks more. Hahay!
