Sir nanofossil, if you can wait for one long month (hopefully 1 month lang), I highly suggest and advice to wait for the face-lifted strada. There's nothing like owning the freshest strada variant around.

Tapos sir sali ka sa amin para inggitin kami, este, i-share pala kung anu-ano upgrades, hahaha.

Pasensya na sir nanofossil, palabiro talaga kami. Seriously, join us sa club.

On the face-lifted strada, based on the steady stream of trickling info, it may be worthwhile to wait for it if it's not a bother to wait for about a month. To some this may the longest one month that they will encounter in their lifetime, hehehe.

Take it from me... with my fat+tall structure, the rear bench was comfortable enough for me. i enjoyed my backseat trips in long distance from Baguio-Manila-Baguio and Manila-Subic. I didn't get that "cramped-leg" feeling and i didn't take in Flanax!

it is still worth the wait for the upcoming 2010 strada... as always, wait and see mode tayo...

I still remember Eslonblue among others in the 2nd EB (Feb 2008) when he was the first one to get the Strada GLS Sport for 2008 with the 17-inch rims. Everyone was very eager to see the updates from the 2007 model. As the 2010 model comes, we will be in that state of mind again...

hi sir! here's what I could share to your questions...

Afaik we all have the same steering problems....but IMO I wouldn't cosnder it a problem actually because it does not affect any major thing that contributes to the total drivability of our truck its just that on sensitive ears like mine and some of the others its really kinda annoying when you hear something like the tonking sound when you turn the steering wheel.

from the pic below I have labeled the clamp that my mechanic placed about 2 weeks before the fix was done...so I guess that's where the sound is coming from. di ko na rin binusisi, I was just happy na nga kasi the sound was gone when the column was repalced.

if this issue is bothering you, think again sir, hehe, this can be remedied easily and immediately as parts are already on stock at the dealerships for warranty claims, same goes with the other strada issues like the squeaking leaf spring etc.

, So I'd rather be worrying about the un-knowledgeable service centers that cannot fix the smelly aircon , burnt clutches and early smoke puking

:peace:

mga sir saan kaya makakakuha ng skid plate? pati mga magkano kaya?

i'm planning to get one;)

**nanofossil** · August 28th, 2009 10:51 AM

Hey guys, can somebody tell me where i can find within metro manila a dealer which has a strada pickup displayed in their showroom? I went to several ones but no strada. I just want to feel the backseat cause that's the only thing that worries me. As much as I believe in the several testimonies of strada owners, i would like to feel it for myself. Thanks a lot!

hi sir, lets wait for response of the others based in Manila... better yet, you might want to do the calling and find out before going there...

i'm not too sure to which dealer has one remaining... considering that their inventory might consist of other models... especially the MS...

otherwise you might want to drop by the EB at metrowalk at 8pm tonight onwards. as you join us, you can sit in and perhaps joyride

in one of the trucks... HTH.
