Ride Height or 4x4?

**OTEP** · April 15th, 2007 09:39 PM

The last Io's were indeed fitted with a simplified (single range) full time 4wd system. Since it's a single range system, there was no more need for a selector lever.

Let's try to get back on topic.

for our family, having bought at least 3 4wd or 4x4 in the past, hindi na importante yun 4x4 basta importante ride height. hindi naman gano nagagamit. even in places like Baguio and nearby provinces di naman kelangana talaga.

kaya right now, pag bumibili kami parati 4x2 na lang pero importante yun mataas bec. of our road conditions.

if you don't venture off the road, a 4x2 would suffice.

but once you mix in some wet sand & mud and some hill-climbing... you'll be needing 4wd then.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng nag-reply. Now I think I know why HOnda didn't bother launching a 4x4 MT in the new CRV. That being said, medyo adventurous ako kaya siguro mas maganda kung meron para I can go to the mountains and remote beaches any time.

ko, i prefer 4x4 vans..than suvs..sayang walang local 4x4 vans dito nilabas potent enough for my needs ( starex 4x4 is weak,e...) kaya ako sa imported-converted nabaling...

The Starex 4x4 CRDi has adequate power.

Kinda pricey, though.

if city driving lang, no need for 4x4. ride height is more important dahil sa baha. ok sana ang 4x4, kaso add pa ng additonal 300k just for 2 additional grips na baka once in a lifetime mo lang magamit..

Hindi lang yun. Order basis pa siya so may waiting time na pwedeng tumagal. Hindi ka pa makatawad or maka-avail ng discounts/freebies dahil order basis nga. Sana nga yung paglabas nung new Starex magpasok agad ng stock 4x4 kasi may demand naman kahit papaano. Dami ko ngang nakitang Delica noon eh.

nga pala, in most cases, most 4wd rides have bigger/stronger ang pang-ilalim then its 4x2 counterparts...

un nga ang prob dun sa hyundai starex 4x4 na yun.. pero at 1.3M, kasing price na siya halos ng fortuner and everest, most cSUVs, montero sport.. 3-6 months lang naman waiting time nun,e...

iba parin ang space ng van than SUVS
