Suzuki Vitara 2018

[Leachim1]

Do you guys think this is a better buy over let's say asx or even ecosport? I'm already sold with the features and uts, but I'm having second thoughts with the badge itself...

Wait for the 2018 Ford Ecosport next year then compare it with the new Vitara. It seems that the new ecosport is going to give the vitara a nice competition in the sub compact suv segment.

Well that's the thing, medyo hinahabol ko before the year ends so as to beat the excise tax implementation.

My only advice with the current ecosport model is to choose the manual transmission. If you prefer an automatic transmission, exclude the ford ecosport :D

On the maintenance and spare parts side, there's plenty of options for the mature Mitsubishi and Ford brands. For Suzuki especially for the new Vitara, that is still in a big question mark.

ecosport pang third world lang yan while the Vitara is enjoyed by first world european countries even UK, the land of the landrover. yun American spec ecosport hindi naman yun iooffer dito sa 2018, may gulong pa din sa likod satin.

dun palang decided ka na dapat, plus I doubt ecosport with its current price today can offer the new ecosport with touchscreen at the same price as Suzuki. so dont wait. buy na


and also nagpunta ka naman ng japan. this is there popular mini 4x4 SUV and its a Suzuki. suzuki hustler. if the advanced Japanese citizens choose this as their daily car then it must be good or durable. so no problems with the badge

[aargh]

Yup I still prefer the regular AT vs CVT or DCT especially with PH traffic

Thanks for pointing out to our brother minicarph the REAL reason why prices of commodities including cars, increase. sir arrgh.

Now tama na at off topic na tayo.

First thing I thought when i saw the new vitara is ladder frame pa kaya ito? My initial hunch was no. My suspicions were correct. Monocoque chassis na siya.

Another strategy of suzuki that i didn’t understand. Yes off road ready ang previous vitara and current jimny. But who needs this feature nowadays? They finally realized this time i guess

hindi pa din kasi yun Chevy Trailblazer same price as offered in late of 2016. the suzukis hindi din nag-increase in fact they were offering so much discounts na.

eh di ba ngaun lang natin na-witness ang matinde price increase, Fortuner naging from 1.4M to 1.5M entry level, MUX from 1.3M to 1.6M.

it's the demand that raise the prices, not inflation. basic of economics yan. and since the demand of Isuzu, Toyota are high, kabi-kabila din ang open ng dealership network nila both in Manila and provinces.

while Chevy and Suzuki na hinde mabile ang cars, walang inflation coz there is not demand with their products. so now, Suzuki has smarten up, alam nya na kahit ano pa i-release nya basta mataas ang presyo malabo, so ni-release nya tamang bang for the buck.

parang Tim Horton's lang yan, tim horton's conservative sa pag branch out. halos 3 lang nationwide. kita mo lagi puno. pero starbucks, coffee bean branch ng branch out lagi naman wala tao. saka yan Tim Horton's pansin ko halos 14 ang tao per shift, tapos masaya sila. sa starbucks 3-4 per branch na personnel tapos simangot.

Yes demand plays a big role in price increases. Malakas loob ng dealer magtaas kung alam nila mabenta. Kaya di lahat ng models nagtataas yearly kasi di naman lahat mabenta. Its a mixture of various factors (demand, inflation, excise tax, etc) I'm sure Suzuki will do the same if the Vitara sells well.

Sana may magpost ng pic ng sunroof and yung cover

[CVT]

I'll check this beauty this weekend..

[Leachim1]

Why is it that as per the spec sheet provided, active cruise control is available for both gl+ and glx.

"Cruise control with speed limter
A cruise control system boosts convenience by keeping the car moving at a constant, driver-set speed without requiring the driver to keep pressing the accelerator pedal. A speed limiter is also equipped. Once the driver has set a maximum speed, the car will not exceed that speed regardless of the extent to which the driver presses the accelerator pedal, Active cruise control is available in GL+ &GLX grades."

This is the specsheet provided by the SA I inquired with and is also available in carguide website.

Magkita kita na lang tayo sa test drive this weekend haha. Sana di maulan para ma feel kung mainit kapag tanghali.

Unang titingnan ko yung sun roof (cover). Although it was never mentioned sa reviews, nakaka bawas lang ng head room.


I'm 26, and I think yung mga interested buyers, nasa same age group ko.

If sobrang cheap feeling talaga, I'll go with the totl XV instead, since un ang first choice ko sa crossovers.

Sir paupdate kami dito after your test drive on how was it. I asked the SA kaya lang yung sa BGC daw BAKA sa Tuesday pa magkaroon sa showroom nila, di ko kasi maisingit aa sched this weekend ang pagpunta sa MOA. Ang concern ko talaga is yung feeling na pag nakasakay ka sa loob ng car parang dinig na dinig mo yung labas na parang halos wala na insulation. Also yung pag sinasara yung pinto, yung tunog na parang sobrang nipis ng kaha. These are the things na common on some of the japanese cars in our roads since the goal is mapagaan ang total weight ng car for fuel efficiency so parang sobrang nipis na ng kaha.

Will do, sir.

Although ang comparison ko lang din sa NVH ay Vios, Mirage, City, Adventure, Fortuner, Altis.

Pero may workaround naman sa NVH, well at least lessen it by putting sound deadening sheets sa doors, even sa floor pwede.

However as a brand new vehicle, parang ayoko naman ipabaklas lahat ng panels agad agad. So as long as tolerable yung NVH, ok lang sakin. Kaso test drive ata sa parking lot lang e. haha

I guess better test kapag meron na sa dealerships mismo test drive, at least pwede mo test sa highway at least.

The concern that I have is actually due to an article I've read from UK. Yung review nila sa doors parang sobrang gaan daw which gives the car that cheap feel. And also pag ganun mas prone sa dents ang kaha.
