Redhorse: Is that so medyo hesistant kasi kami for may defect daw ito... with regards the wheel maingay daw??

Another thing ilan km/l ang consume nito? and how about service?

thanks.

maingay na wheel? - nope. Nasa quality ng highway na seguro yon, sa may quezon expect mo na yon. When you reach bicol, its a breeze -- newly concreted plus asphalt overlay, walang sinabi ang metro manila.

km/l - Yong Quezon City Pagudpud: half tank ako sa Laoag, pauwi, half tank sa La Union, pagdating ko sa bahay, meron pa above half. Let's say P4000 ang gas, sa walong adults, bale 500 bawat isa, mas cheaper pa rin kaysa sa bus or rent a car. Yong nga lang magaan paa ko, pag driver na ang may dala papuntang school, forgivable na rin sequro, alam mo naman ang traffic dyan sa xavier, plus tambay pa sa loob pag di pa nakakakuha ng parking space.

service: mas mahal ang inteco para sa trooper natin. Sa P5000 na change oil, synthetic oil na iyon. Yon nga lang brake pads sa harap, madaling mapudpud, nagpalit na ako, sa trooper hindi pa.

Since mahaba ang wheel base nito, medyo mangangapa ka sa una. Sa baha naman, no prob, mataas ito, di kagaya ng mga front wheel drive na vans.

Pag bumili, ka, i-haggle mo na yong headrest para sa two bench seats, wala kasi yon from factory.

Bumper - rear ended with a bus, naalog kaming lahat, but wala man lang dents, maybe because of its design. I have seen a brand new one, a while ago, but noticeable yong new bumper design which I think will not withstand any bumps from a bus. The new design of E-150 bumper was so plain and simple, na parang pang AUV na lang.

Some annoying details:
*No rear wiper/washer (even Kias have this).
*No rear backing mirror.
*Bumpers are chrome steel (almost non-repairable after getting damaged).
*No side protective mouldings.
*Front passenger space is so small. The driver and front passenger are actually sharing space with the front wheelhouses and the engine.
*Ford has not discovered the art of making plastics look good.
*No sliding door option in the local market.
*No diesel engine option in the local market.

Despite these little things, I would still like to have one.

My Tito has one and so far so good, even after three years. He gets around 4-6km/L i think. Its really more of a family weekend/long-trip car since drving and parking it in the mall can sometimes be a hassle given the size. Very comfy and gives good power. I'm just wondering on the maintainance cost/reliability and parts 5 or so years down the road.

Otep, may sliding door option na (also comes with rear captains chairs).

*No sliding door option in the local market.

yung mga bagong models, sliding doors na ata. yung sa friend ko, sliding doors na kasi. pero minsan na lubak sila, umingay na yung gulong, parang me natanggal daw. ewan ko kung napagawa na at ano ang nasira. papunta pa naman sila ng wedding at sila ang me dala ng mga flowers. buti nalang hindi pa ako nakakaalis nun, sa akin nalang pinadala.
