Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[S.S.C._28]

Was able to help another forumer get a 2008 XTi Limited Edition for 630k. Super fresh unit (since manager ng ISUZU Philippines may ari) For a 2007 XTi, I guess 600k would be a good price.

Thanks very big sir benz..

ask ko po sa nakakaalam kung meron nang pre installed wirings for fog lamps and xuv 2010 model. thanks po.

[Sleepcare]

wala pa yatang preinstalled wirings para sa foglights.

[Sleepcare]

May slight changes ang XTi model para sa 2011 model. I'm not sure kung meron din para sa other variants.

May abang na. Foglamps and switch na lang kulang pero may wiring na naka-abang.

[Sleepcare]

Ahh. I see. Thank you for the correction.

Sir Benz and others, do you think worth yung 98k difference ng XUV and XTi? Kasi wala na yung gusto ng mom ko which is a black XTi, napalitan na ng ibang colors. Then kanina, nagandahan kami sa XUV na orange while we are talking to our SA. Kaya nag-dalawang isip na kami kung we will push through sa XTi or go nalang kami sa XUV.

Think this, the XTi is basically a non-lift Sportivo (but not exactly the same in terms of amenities) while an XUV is a "downgraded" Sportivo.

Ergo, based on some queries I did to existing XTi and XUV owners, they get the XTi because they want convenient amenities and performance without the hype of the "small suv" look while XUV owners puts more consideration on the latter but does not want to compromise on basic functional and convenient amenities.

So search which would be your priority.... 98k when financed is virtually negligible. Then again, as the saying goes, "Walang Piso, walang P100".

Hahaha! About sa comparo mo, yun nga yung naisip ko kanina eh. Kasi naman yung isuzu, tinanggal pa yung XTi na black. Eh parang hindi ko feel yung new colors nung XTi ngayon. Kaya sabi ko, parang ok din yung XUV. Pero may huge difference ba sa ride quality, FC, etc.?

Hahaha! The black XTi (I believe) was only available when ISUZU came out with an XTi Limited Edition (late 2008).

As to ride quality, slight. The XTi (being more closer to the ground) seemed to performed better in terms of stability and road handling (vs. a Sporty Crosswind which is taller) FC (thou I have not had chance to measure) is expected to favor the XTi too since it has thinner (and lighter) tires and no rear spare tire carrier (which has additional metal reinforcements hidden inside the backdoor panel) Those 2 alone would definitely add more weight to the vehicle --> affecting (slightly) fuel efficiency
