Nissan Frontier Navarra [ARCHIVED]

Boy:

Congratulations!

Happy SHIFT_ing! Did you installed canopy in your bed? I am planning to install din the CB-706... kaso ipon muna... Parallel parking, my wife says medyo mahirap daw talaga kasi mahaba talaga. (That's the same reason for buying our BlackNav, makargahan ng marami when going to Sta Cruz and Divisoria! Hehe!) Fuel consumption... around approximately 14 kilometers per liter (biyaheng Bicol to Manila).

One more complain ng wife ko... sobrang lamig daw ng aircon.

Gentleshot:

The way it looks sa accident happened sayo is normal, law of physics ba tawag dyan?!? The Vios will suffer the most kasi sa height niya against the rear of a pick-up truck. What do you expect from a hood, radiator and front grille of a car hitting a rear bumper of a pick-up? It's like your pick-up hitting a rear bumper of a small drop-side truck.

BoyB congrats to your new ride. Hope you could post other infos like FC, ride quality, experience on long drive, top speed, etc. I am about to get my unit in a month and ive settled already to navara over the Strada.

Sir Dave, where you frm Bicol, hows the ride quality?
Thanks

(BoyBakaL) I can't wait see pictures of your new truck..Also if you could do me a favor and take a picture of both your Navara and Fortuner next to each other I would like to see the difference in size...thanks...

Ok Guys Thanks for the reply heres the morning picture so far
ill have it blessed at antipolo church for safe voyage wherever i go.

if you can see the steering wheel horn its abit far from my thumb if i want to horn someone

my new carryboy rollup.

my parking garage is getting crampy now

side to side with a fortuner

joeverzosa:
fortuner is higher by an inch beside the hood, the side mirror and total height but the width is smaller for fortuner its has more rollover feeling..

jatcos:
I ask a fellow navara he was able to reach 160kph but still can go even more with ease if there more straighter roads. long drive, top speed and fuel consumption to follow na still busy week for me..

DaveMAX:
im still planning to buy cb -706 kasi ang ganda ng design for my white but still having second thoughts if i really need it... but the rollup i got peace of mind if i put anything at the back

Boy:

Nice talaga looks... The pic with the Fortuner on the side is cool. Made the Nav more "Fortune-worthy" (no offense meant). Anyone cannot tell the difference in prices is more than a quarter of a million. The Nav just tells you something it's a pricey vehicle, there something in it that's hard to tell by looking at it.

jatcos:

I am from Camarines Sur (but based here in Saudi Arabia). Ride quality... I have not personally rode it but my wife and bayaw find it very comfortable. See my previous post...

Update on my concern:

Fluttering sound heard inside the vehicle: Dealer found out that there is a problem on Turbocharger, action had been taken.

I am still waiting for the technical report from their Service Manager.

BoyBakaL thanks for posting those pictures, your Navara looks great...I'm surprised on seeing that the Toyota Fortuner was a taller truck than the Navara...Anyways great looking truck, enjoy it...

Reasons:

1. I like it big and love the style compare to strada design which is 2006 pa ang labas ng itsura (strada for me looks girlie & fake techie plastic mukhang LUMA kahit BAGONG bili pa) Hi lux is the same ang design 2005 til now same parin (mas mahal pa eto). isuzu dmax naman mahina engine at dont really like its styling and engine mukhang altera lang. Ford ranger ok naman engine problem ko lang ingress and egress of rear door is too tight (my mom in law got one tagtag)
Yup Strada and Hilux had been around our local market since 2006 & 2005 respectively. Navara already existed in the international market since 2005. It's only introduced recently in our market by Universal Motors. Every one knows about their being always a laggard
