Crosswind 2007 inquiry

**MACpod** · April 22nd, 2007 02:52 AM

hello everyone. for a couple of weeks now, i'm still uncertain if getting the new isuzu crosswind (2007) XTi is a smart choice.
i've been reading almost all discussions here about xwind and am surprised on some comments like maingay ang makina, prone sa rust.
ngayon lang ak bibile ng brand new vehicle at ire regalo ko ito sa parents ko.
pls advise kung ok ba ang choice?
salamat sa lahat nang magpopost. malaking tulong to. :-)

Maugong lang hindi maingay

timing gear kasi ginagamit nito kaya maugong pero less maintenance/worry free naman compared sa mga gumagamit ng timing belt. Prone sa rust? Sinong nagsabi pukpukin ko

It's a good choice. Mas ok ngang bilhin ang XTi hindi matalbog compared sa XUV/Sportivo

sir,

wait po kayo sa face-lifter or bagong Adventure... Baka may CRDi na cya... And speaking of interior... It feels like a car.

IMO Innova nalang bigay mo, i dont know though if solved na problema ng D4D.

or a Kia Carens

Xwind and adventure is too old, walang katapusang facelift OMG.

I don't consider crosswind or sportivo maingay...

mas maingay pa nga yung ibang diesel revo eh... yung exhaust at bass sound... yun ang masakit sa tenga....

though kung pang regalo... hanap mo na ako ibang vehicles... bakit, may dami pa rin bang pasahero yung parents mo sir?

Relatively maingay, yes, but rust-prone? Will have to check. I do have rust on my 99 Hilander, but it's been beaten half to death already... the 02 and 04 Crosswinds are still okay.

If it's for your parents, you might want to consider something that rides softer, like an Innova. If you're using it for work, a Crosswind is just fine.

salamat sa lahat nang nagpost (syuryuken, drey, bluebimmer,rion, niky).

rion, di nman sa madaming pasahero, around anim lang silang gagamit. kaya lang iniisip ng tatay ko ung time na maga-out of town (siguro approx mga 3x per month). but mostly pang city driving lang. pareho na silang retired. bale personal use nila ito.

naiisip ko lang kasi ung fuel efficiency ng xwind. tapos lakas pa humatak. kung sa outer appearance, imo, parang mas ok ung xwind2007 (disagree ata ung iba.hehe)

pero sa tingin ko mukang halos lahat ata e innova over xwind...

tnx uli

Mas maraming mahahatak ng Crosswind versus Innova, pero masakit sa katawan yun for long trips... depending on tires. We just changed our XUV's tires to Michelins and filled with Nitrogen... medyo lumambot din ang ride... sa wakas...

4ja-1 uses timing gear kaya considered siya na maingay / maugong ika
nga ni syuryuken, pero less maint pagdating sa belt replacement.
uses only 4 liters of motor oil, mura mga filters (oil/fuel) etc. 11-12 kms/li
city driving, malakas a/c. tungkol sa rust prone? hindi po. at malaking factor
dito kung may garahe.

IMO kahit ngayon sa budget na 800K at m/t - diesel: xti rin ako may turbo pa.
