IMHO, If I were a owner of a nav. my 1st gear will be opted to not be used anymore due to the very near arrangement of the gears, and the 2nd gear is already enough, and another thing is that maybe that's the reason why we can read some burning clutches early in the odometer reading because maybe the owners aren't aware of the very near gear arrangements. so when it comes to those situations 6th gear wouldn't be an advantage anymore...

And Regarding with the NAV emitting smoke....

I was in baguio just this weekend, and on our way up using kennon road I was surprised by a thick whitish black smoke in front of me, and when we covered the sharp turn after the lion's head I was again surprised that it was a maroon navara with dealer plates emitting it, and I thought that it was a jeepney or an old delivery truck..yes it was fast but to think that it has still its dealer's plates and its already puking out that amount of smoke? well that's a big turn off for me...

FYI I'm not saying that our strada's doesn't emit smoke.Well not as much as the navara's do But I'm just sharing my 1st Hand experience and there is no harm intended....

As far as I know there are units set aside by MMPC specifically for test drives. And it's a matter of exerting effort to have this scheduled and done. And this effort should be independent from whether a type of vehicle is selling well or not.

After reading this I called my Sales Executive and demanded that she should arrange a test drive for me or else I will be considering getting from other branch. Thanks!

so you dont need to worry, ive done the tailgate(tama ba yung term na meron 3rd brake light) body clored,the fog lamps,mesh grill and pati yung lower bumper with the plastic grill body colored. just find a shop that you can trust.

HTH

Ah ok tancho, thanks for the advice.... actually i know of a small painting shop. I am no fan of chrome my self so I am planning to have the the chrome parts (door handles and side mirrors) body colored.

Welcome to the strada thread, chicco.

On your query, yup, pwedeng lagyan ng LCD yung center ng console ng GLX. Sir av8or5 did it on his GLX. You can visit and backread on the strada modification thread. He posted pictures of his modification. Here's the link: TSCP Strada Mods . Pakihanap na lang.

Oh, by the way, you own a strada? Planning to own one? If yes, share us your insights. Thanks.

hehe no offense to chrome lovers, maganda naman honestly yung chrome mas mamahalin tingnan but beauty is in the eye of the beholder naks! hehe

*LR777- just learned from mikko tayo pala yung mga ka age bracket hehe. di naman ricers, kasi purpose ko para all black tapos thought of carbon fiber para balc na may contrast hehe

*nanofossil- my paintor also offered me that pero na sayangan ako sa chrom pag e paint,tapos if bibili ako ng GL na handles and side mirrors gasto na naman kaya film nlng para if guto kong tangalin anytime pwede.
