i'm not sure kung anong difference ng interior ng GLX sa GLS. sa exterior naman is yung bigger and wider wheels/tires, fender flares and yung power rear windshield (GLS and GLS Sport). yung wheels/tires saka fender flares madami naman mabibilhan and mas makakamura ka pa compared dun sa difference ng price ng GLS sa GLX.

If in case you decide to replace the stock head unit for a GLX say a model to have a DVD so that you could install a monitor in the space above the console dashboard. Will you still have control from the steering wheel audio buttons? What Pioneer head unit is best recommended? thanks

sir we just got our 2010 mitsu strada black last may 27... then pinalagyan din po namin ng flares sa carryboy banawe. i think its better na silver ung flares nyo than the same color of your car.. kasi kung silver ung flares nyo mas maeemphasize ung wider and bigger tires nyo.. IMO lang po.. by the way im new here...

thanks.now i remember, nag offer nga yung carryboy saken dati ng fender flares when i installed sport roll bar and jumbo utility box. pero pangit kse talaga with stock wheels and tires eh, masyadong maliit at makitid yung gulong. kelangan sabay yung fender flares sa pag upgrade ng wheels and tires.

may iba pa bang ok pagkunan ng fender flares? gusto ko lang mag canvass muna. thanks

hello again. not sure about which has best diesel. ako shell kse yung pinaka marami at accessible na stations. general rule is stick with one brand of diesel. wag lang papalit-palit. i suggest you stop loading gas when the pump automatically stops. malaki na rin kse yung tanke, baka masira pa yung gas gauge pag isagad mo lagi.

as for the mags, nagtanong na rin ako dito sati. if you stick with the stock 16x6 wheels, 245 is the widest you can go. may ibang ang 265 na yata pero hindi ata recommended. malaking limitation talaga yung 6 inch width ng wheels.

try this site out to look for alternative tires.

yung stock ng glx, eto specs: [SIZE=3]205/80R16[/SIZE]

the most important numbers to look at are the speedometer difference and diameter difference. the smaller the difference, the better. based on my what i tried, eto yung mga puede. it will just depend on the availability of tires with these specs.
[SIZE=3]245/65R16 and [/SIZE][SIZE=3]265/60R16[/SIZE]

it depends on the car dvd you wish install. i installed a china-made car dvd and hindi ko na nagagamit ang audio control sa steering wheel. although someone told me that with the m-tech brand of 2din car dvd, you will still be able them, they just need to add an additional gadget, sorry i forgot what it was.

The 2010 Strada GLS and GLS Sport have adopted the console box similar to that found found in the current Montero Sport- Yes, the armrest is present. The GL and GLX variants continue with the (still functional) console box only. I'm not too sure if the Casas can get this as an additional dealer option. Maybe sir Xave can answer that... hehehe...

waaaahhhh nice Ian, i think add on ang mangyayari dyan sa armrest na yan.

waaaaahhh, bukas pa e estimate ng federal yung strada ko dapat maipasok na agad sa casa para mapalitan na mga papalitan, "had an accident at laguna last 2th of May 2010" mitsubishi estimated 68,000+ to replace the bumper,right headlamp,right fog lamp, right fender flare and hehehehe maybe change of driver, papalitan ko na sarili ko sa pag da drive :D

Thanks Sir jokulit for the info, i will pass by to your EB sa Metrowalk one of these days to submit my application.

I also would like to share my unfortunate after sales experience in my strada dealer in Cavite. When i ordered my GLX i told the dealers Account Executive that i want them to add fender flares to my unit with the same color as the GLS version (claysoil beige with gray flarings). Lo and behold when it was delivered to me the color of the flairings was bluish gray! I was so excited when they delivered the unit that i just told the AE that i will just pass by the CASA to have it repainted, they admit that the color of the flairings were bluish and that they would have it repainted when i go to the CASA. So last Friday i went and they showed me a GLS version with the same color as mine and i told them to just copy the color of the flairings, i was supposed to just wait for it that same day to have it repainted but it started raining and just opted to go and to return after a few day, i dont wanna rush them anyway so as not to mess up the paint... after a few days contacted the AE thru text if the fenders are ok and i would pass by this wednesday so that they can re install it to my Strada. Got a reply that everything is ready and i can pass by anytime. So i did go there yesterday with two of my kids, they showed me my flairings and the color was indeed the same but as i looked on the middle part i saw several bubbles on the paint!!! The fairings was with them for several days and nobody noticed the bubbles?!? It was not only on one flairing but on all!!... (this was the only time they checked the paint on my fenders!) to my dismay they told me again that they will have to sand it off and have it repainted... I was in the notion that when i go there to have the fender reinstalled it would only take minutes, max an hour for them to reinstall it, but we ended up waiting for it from 9AM til 3pm! (I missed my 4PM meeting in Makati and have to reschedule it, me and my kids were only able to eat lunch at around 4PM as there are no restaurant near the dealer. (Imagine two hungry kids nagging you for food and all you can offer is the complimentary orange juice and iced tea...one of them even took a sip from my coffee...not a good picture believe me) The supervisor did offer to get some food for us... but in the back of my mind if i accept the offer we might wait there the whole day!!!) The sad part is every time i asked the accessories supervisor if my unit is finished the answer i get is always an assurance that it is almost finished, this has gone for a few hours until i really got fed up and talked to the supervisor about the bad service im getting. They finally buffed the fenders i think around 2:30PM and after a few minutes it was already finished...though it was a sloppy rush job. They know it was their mistake they could have prioritized it and have it finished before noon. What i really want to say here is that most of the time "WE" consumers have to deal with this poor after sales service, exorbitant parts/consumables in the dealer when we have to get our units serviced that put us in a very inconvenient position wherein it could have been easily avoided by just a simple quality check form the dealer. I also think this particular dealer has some quality control issues coz while waiting there i overheard the conversation of one AE with another client on the phone (I know i should not listen to conversation of others but she was in front of me...and i've already seen the Spongebob episode that my kids are watching on the customers lounge area...yes they took over the remote control, i know the other guy wants to watch the game 3 of the NBA finals...well tough luck for him, let him try to get the remote from two juiced up hungry kids who's only refuge from their rumbling stomach is by watching reruns of Spongebob) who wants to have his tint reinstalled because the installation was rushed and damaged...(so i heard...) I am just sharing my experience so that others may learn from it (Dont get your fender flaring from this dealer). Now im looking for another dealer where i can claim my 1k and 5k service warranty...any suggestions please, Makati or Alabang area? Are the after sales service there any good?
