pero here are the opinions of those who had the opportunity to compare the two vehicles...

a. truck bed of the navara is bigger
b. cabin space of the strada is roomier
c. acceleration of navara is quicker but top speed, depende na yun sa dibdib ng driver, hehe
d. more expensive ang navara
e. sedan like suspension of strada is better
f. the strada has "a club that rocks" hehe

over all, nasa end user kung ano ang better vehicle... pero since strada thread ito... I suggest go for the strada

the strada can go river crossing.... hehehehe
big discount if you choose strada over navarra ...
" A CLUB THAT ROCKS"
besides month of may na bukas.... im excited to BUY TOPGEAR...

advance thank you on your opinions guys.TIA

Navara is over rated... its not famous here in our country... check the pick -up sale.. Strada is leading... If i read your comment, your so much incline to navara... its your decision.. we only recommend...
sir you are in strada thread so, unanimously we all pick strada..

I like the way the Navarra looks..but it ends there.

buti na lang bumili na si boybakal ng montero (which is 90% strada, hehehe)

dagdag lang po, (NOT INTENDED TO OFFEND ANYBODY)
based on the web search
in UK
[SIZE=3]What things have gone wrong with the NAVARA truck?

Watchdog on the BBC, says there were problems with engines built between 2002 and 2006; the con-rod could snap, as a number of faulty ones had been cast and were not strong enough.
Nissan was contacted & informed that only 3% built during that period [/SIZE][SIZE=3]
could be faulty, but they were extending the warranty on the car.
[/SIZE][SIZE=3]that's why Navara is off my choice[/SIZE]

Katulad mo rin ako. I'm about to buy the Navara, actually I placed order na BUT I withdraw it after reading this forum.

Pros :

1. Navara really pulls fast on a stop. The thing screams truck physically.
2. Big. Closest thing to owning an F-150.
3. Aircon is cool. Always.
4. Bed cargo is big.
5. I love the boxy look. I'm a bit old fashioned.

Cons :

1. No USB slot.
2. No auto climate.
3. Didn't like the turn knob 4x4. I prefer levers.
4. Nissan advertise that Navara has the highest ground clearance. I don't think so.
5. You can't retract the antenna. Something useful when parking in squatter areas.
6. Big turning radius.

Why Strada :

1. Small turning radius.
2. Bigger cabin room.
3. USB slot.
4. Ride is not harsh.
5. Ride height is higher.

Cons :

1. Cargo bed is the smallest. I don't mind. I don't haul BIG cargos.
2. Lever orientation is for Right Hand Drive. Took me awhile to adjust.
3. Passenger seat has more room than the driver side. This is given since the truck started as RHD.
4. 4x4 lever is on the right side. Again, cause the truck is originally RHD.
5. No hair triggering accelaration like the Navara. I'm fine with this since I'm no 16year old that is so hot on the pedal.

BTW, both trucks have the worst casa service.I bought the Strada without any test drive like the Navara and D-Max. I have faith with tsikot peeps reviews. And the last thing I considered is the Strada's looks. It grows na lang to me over time.

So far I'm happy with it.
