Hi sir Benz / all tsikooters,

I am planning to have a tour by land travel with my family (wife and 2 sons) from Davao to Manila this coming December using my 2011 Sportivo Xmax automatic.

Pero marami po akong tanong:
1. Kakayanin ba ng sportivo ko ang ganito kalayong byahe?
2. May mga nakasubok na bang magbyahi ng sportivo o crosswind from davao-manila vv? ano bang experiences ninyo sa sasakyan natin? thanks
3. Any tips po sa mga may experience na byahe sa ganitong layo in terms of road safety, security, etc.?
4. Gaano kaya katagal ang byahe ng manila to davao assuming sa araw lang lahat ang byahe namin?
5. Ano po kaya ang "must-bring" na mga gamit at documents sa byahi?

Salamat po in advance sa mga sagot nyo.

* sportivo - sir, kaya kung sa kaya.. my friend, who was the previous owner of my 2005 Sportivo AT, drove the sportivo from Manila to Davao with no problems whatsoever.. Mga 8k daw ata na krudo nagastos niya..

Hindi ko nga lang masagot yung iba mong tanong kase I have no experience travelling that route..

The longest travel I did with my 6-year-old Sportivo AT was around 1,100kms.. Hindi din ako nagkaproblema sa byahe sir..

*Sportivo: In addition to what tata_ismael has already mentioned, I believe a Ro-Ro trip such as what you're planning is achievable without sweat. I have seen older cars make it, I see no reason why the Sportivo could not.

As any long trip would require, make sure you have your vehicle thoroughly checked before the trip. Change oil may be in order. Check fanbelts, fluid levels, brakes, wiper blades, etc. Fill the tank to the brim. Make sure to bring basic set of tools, extra fanbelts, a gallon of water, a liter of brake and power steering fluids and mobile phone and charger to name a few. As for documents, bring the vehicle's Owner's Manual, Maintenance Logbook and clean copy of the OR and CR.

1. Kayang kaya sir basta kondisyon ang sasakyan
2. Isuzu Hilander XTRM 2000 model lang sir Cotabato-Manila-Baguio-Ilocos VV. Ako lang ang driver, with my wife, two kids and three teen agers na pamangkin ni misis.
3. Mga 4 nights, depende yan kng mag sight seeing pa sa mga magagandang lugar along the way like Agusan Marsh, Leyte Landing at San Juanico Bridge sa Tacloban, Mayon sa Albay, Tagaytay at stop over for picture taking pag my magagandang views.
4. Magdala ka ng road map, gamot, tubig, flashlight, unan para sa mga kids,camera. I check ang sasakyan before travel. Tires, suspension, bearings, lights,oil,brakes,water/coolant sa radiator, basic tools, tire jack. Plan kung san kayo mag stay overnight and abutin yong lugar bago dumilim para makahanap ng tulugan habang maaga pa. Huwag mong kalimutan sir na mag krudo pag half tank ka na or even 3/4 pa. My mga lugar kasi na walang gas stations at yong iba mahal ang presyo umaabot ng 50pesos/liter ng diesel.
5. Documents ng sasakyan (updated CR at OR) kelangan din ito sa pagsakay sa RORO. IDs. During our travel, pati birth certificate ng mga bata nagdala kami, hehehe panigurado. Makibalita kung my typhoon sa mga lugar na madadaanan. Sa time namin, so far wala naman, ulan lang. By the way, last May this year lang kami nag travel, nakakapagod sayo as driver pero enjoy ang mga passenger. Mas maganda pag dalawa ang driver para my ka spare kung gustong mag rest ng isa.Relax lang sir sa pag drive at don't lose your temper sa other motorists. Happy motoring sir.

To all with Crosswind/Sportivo XMAS 2010, ano ba model ng head unit nyo? Okay ba navigation system nya? TIA.

I suggest you still get the same Michelin tire standard for your Crosswind. Brand, CHECK! Sturdy and does not easily wear off, CHECK! Some I know use GY or BStone and would want to shift to Michelin.

Good afternoon po! May alam po ba kayo na magaling na mag-aayos ng Manual transmission ng Crosswind(04XTRM)? Eto na nga po yung pinangangambahan ko...biglang may umingay...parang grinding high pitch sound sya especially kapag bibitawan mo ang accelarator kung naka third - fourth gear ka!!! Wala pong problema sa pagkambyo, pumapasok naman po with ease....its just that parang may mrt sa ilalim ng sasakyan ko pag release ng accelerator. Pag nerelease naman po sa kambyo mawawala ang tunog kahit tumatakbo ka pa ng 80 kph!

Kala ko po nung una eh Axle bearings, so I had both replaced. Di pa rin po nawala. So I checked the Universal joints...same...di pa rin po nawala.

Mga sir, baka po may alam kayong transmission specialist na may readily availbale na surplus parts? Checked brand new and its 38k kay jason. Surplus is

22k sa blumentritt!!! Tight po budget so kung ano lang po sira, yun lang po balak ko palitan!!! Ang sabi po sa akin nung pinasakay ko para maconfirm talaga na may naririg, ang sabi nya po eh baka main drive bearing ng transmission!

Salamat po!

Good morning! Sira na rin pala yung side mirror ng XUVi ko. Pinatanong ko sa dad ko yung price sa casa nasa 16k!

May recommended shop ba kayo na pwede ko puntahan? Pa replace ko na kasi yung 2 side mirror. Yung sa left naman medyo maluwag na rin. TIA!
