Isuzu Crosswind XUV/XUVi Owners

[robert]

I would like to know from you guys what are the weak or negative points of Isuzu Crosswind as i am intentinding to purchase one unit sometime October 2005.

a). fuel consumption (City/Open highway Driving).
b). noise emitting from engine going inside the van.
c). Ruttle or kalampag.
d). Maximum Speed without losing momentum or steam specially when overtaking.
e). Acceleration after 85 kph? Muscle beyond 85 kph or it losses steam or momentum?
f). Rust or corrosion.

Cheers,

Robert

a). fuel consumption (City/Open highway Driving) - Don't have actual figures but my experience was 75% tank-full from Sta.Rosa, Laguna to Pangasinan to Baguio with 10 passengers + cargo
b). noise emitting from engine going inside the van - Acceptable naman sakin, but compared to Innova and Adventure; maingay sya
c). Ruttle or kalampag - If you mean vibration, para kang minamasahe,hehehe
d). Maximum Speed without losing momentum or steam specially when overtaking.
e). Acceleration after 85 kph? Muscle beyond 85 kph or it losses steam or momentum? - I reached 140kph along NLEX, I think kaya pa, pakiramdam ko parang may tumutulak sa likod. Medyo nakakatakot na at that speed,hehehe
f). Rust or corrosion - So far, wala pa po akong experience dito

Robert, is the Crosswind going to be your primary car?

[robert]

Hi Bry,

My originally i'm considiring either starex or crosswind but per internet research i have done starex fuel consumption is 6 kilometer per liter while Hyundai indicates 7kilometer. Since cost of fuel is near sky high I need to buy fuel efficient van such as crosswind xuvi. I intend to purchased this octorber 2005. In any case if i purchase crosswind it will be my secondary car. My primary car is Adventure grand sport 2003.

Cheers,

Robert

a). fuel consumption (City/Open highway Driving).
-on a full tank, it can do more than 520kms, city driving yan ha

b). noise emitting from engine going inside the van.
-maingay talaga. imagine our guard opening the gate even before he sees me. hehhee
c). Ruttle or kalampag.
-walang kalampag as far as our xuv is concerned. but i don't think it'll bother you when you open the radio na.
d). Maximum Speed without losing momentum or steam specially when overtaking.
-nlex speed ko is always 90kph, but i can overtake with ease. i can reach 120,no problems
e). Acceleration after 85 kph? Muscle beyond 85 kph or it losses steam or momentum?
-read above
f). Rust or corrosion
-none as of the moment. had it rustproofed right after getting it from isuzu

Bro suggestion lang, get the Innova instead. Masmura pa sa Crosswind. Looks classier pa than both the Crosswind and the Adventure. Bale magiging primary mo na yung Innova, and then pang-harabas na yung Adventure.

Sir, if fuel economy is your primary consideration, the Crosswind is among the most fuel efficient 2.5L Diesel engine vehicle. It is rated at 19 km/l. In city driving you can easily achieve between 11-14km/l. Its engine is known to be highly durable and reliable. I have friends who own one and they have no complain.

i just bought a pre-owned 2002 XUV..its a repossessed vehicle...unfortunately the former owner did not surrender the removable face of the stereo..i have no idea what model or brand it is...im quite sure though that the former owner did not replace the original unit as i noticed he was not into upgrading etc.

can someone please tell me where can i get a replacement face for the head unit? or atleast give me the brand or model? i just want to restore and maintain the car in its original state.

others needed:

1. plastic handle for driver's seat adjustment lever (the one on the left).
2. rear window washer nozzle.
3. owner's manual

thanks a lot in advance.

I don't think you can buy a replacement face for your Pioneer stereo. You have to replace the whole unit. Siguro sa mga colorum na shops meron.

But for the other items, definitely sa casa meron yan, mahal nga lang siguro. Try Banawe.

model is pioneer deh-6350. i dont think pioneer will be selling its face. kasi magagamit pa rin ng magnanakaw kung may binebentang replacement face.
