Suzuki Vitara 2018

[aargh]

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.

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.

Well, it's the UK, so mas mataas ang standards nila.

Also, it's a cheap car relatively, so expected na agad.

Ka-excite tuloy mag test drive haha!

I've already paid reservation fees to Subaru and VW, but Suzuki threw a wrench in the plan with this release. The GLX is really tempting for the price. I just wanna see it in person first. The only thing that's putting me off is the panoramic sunroof. Same reason that I'm having second thoughts about the VW Golf GTS. I'd rather not deal with the added heat and potential leaking later on.

As long as the doors hold up to side impacts, that's good enough for me.

If you're concerned bro about the sun/moon roof, leaking, then don't use it...

Added heat? Put a good tint on it and close the cover.... I have no problem with our ride with sun/moon roof....

Hhmmmm and I was thinking it could be a competition to the ecosport... 😉

Anyway we'll see how the public will warm up to this ride...

[benchph1]

Patawa naman ung sa loob lang test drive. Car makers usually insure the test drive units in case they get into accidents.
