I don't know if there are shops in Baguio who does this thing. Will find out and advise you as soon as I get any info.

went to mitsubishi dealer a while ago. nagpa compute kami ng strada gls at gls sport. nasa 300k+ na pala ang dp for all units. kahapon nag browse ako sa sulit nabasa ko 220k lang all in na. pagtingin ko sa computation 220k ang dp den plus lto, chatel, insurance etc ayun na ang 300k+. bat ganun? iba-iba ba talaga sa mga dealers?

btw interisado dad ko sa gls kasi mababa ang konsumo. ano sa tingin nyo? ganyan ba kalaki ang difference ng fc nila? eto kasi dad ko tinitignan ang numero takot sa 3.2 lol. hndi naman jan naka depende eh. may 2.5 nga na mas malakas pa kesa 3.2, i mean, its not just on the numbers.

Regarding your veering problem, I suggest you bring yur Strada back to the casa to have your unit aligned. I did not experience that when I drove home my brand new unit.

Thanks for the quick reply sir. I had it checked at the casa twice already. They failed to fix the alignment during my first visit, so they tried again on my 2nd complaint. They did fix the swerving but my steering wheel is not normally positioned at the center during straight runs. Its favored a little to the left.

Another thing sir, do your brakes emit a low tone metal-metal sound during the first few minutes of your drive and when its raining or the whether is cold?

I never thought that I'd be converted from a strada hater to a lover overnight!

It was my wife's decision to buy a strada, for I've always wanted a trekker.
Well obviously,she has a better taste than I do.

But during our test drives, I noticed that our unit swerves to the right every time i let go of the wheel...and yes, the wheel is not normally aligned in the center.

How can this happen to a brand new car? Did any of you sirs experienced the same thing?

Other than those above mentioned concerns, overall, the truck looks and feels great. Is there a strada club here in davao?

I saw in one Australian website where the original foglamps had been incorporated neatly to the ARB bumper. They foglamp frame had to be trimmed though so that they will fit.

just like sir Go1 mentioned..just bring it back...most likely alignment lang yan..not an issue.

if your dad is on the consumption of FC, then go with GLS, with any variant, you wont go wrong.

All piggy back system is plug and play wala pong putulan nag wire kaya safe padin po kayo for service hindi ma apektuhan ang warranty.

Ganyan din sa kin. Saglit lang, pagkalabas ng garage. Even w/ my previous ride (Lancer), ganun din. Poor quality yata brake pads na gamit ng Mitsu.

Assuming all things are equal...definitely a bigger displacement will consume more fuel. Bigger engine means higher output.

Just for argument sake, take an average monthly fuel consumption for the following:
2.5L engine = 3,000 pesos
3.2L engine = 2.5L x 20% more = 3,600 pesos

that's only an additional of 7,200 pesos in 1 year.
Don't you think your Dad can afford it? of course there are other costs like oils and filters.

Magkano na ba qouted prices nila for GLS sport?

note:20% figure is an assumption
