I remember Tessa's interview for that article. She's one of the coolest people around, and glad to be able to work with her from time to time, She may not be as big a gearhead as some, but she's very hardworking and does her research very carefully when writing.
Hehe... ayoko na... andaming nagsisigawan "BAYARAN" sa Facebook... hehe. Oh well... can't please everybody!
I am on the technical team that handles the track tests in the background, but I wasn't a voting judge. From what I saw during tech testing, the right cars won each segment (honest, personal opinion!) only argument is overall winner... but that's the way the scoring works out. Would have liked Mazda3 to win overall... sayang.
Actually, I was rooting for an upset in the cheaper classes by BYD or Haima... ...just to see how pissed off the "anti-China" crowd would be!
Still, the Chinese cars do get closer and closer every year. In years past, we had to be very careful during the tech tests (pag minsan, full mechanical inspection kailangan before each test). Nowadays, it's just like taking your Civic to the track. Kick the tires, adjust the seat, and you're off.
With some of them, long term reliability nalang ang tanong... and that can't be answered at COTY, anyway.
Regarding the MU-X, I can say for sure that it would have done well against the Fort or Montero... but would probably have lost against the Trailblazer, depending on whether the scoring for price versus speed worked out in favor of Isuzu or Chevy.
Personally, if I had the money for a 1.4-1.5m variant, little can touch the "blazing" Trailblazer 4x2 AT. But if you're going for lower end models, I'd pick the MU-X LS-M any time. Hell, gawa sila ng "Low-rider" version na manual na cheaper pa... di na kailangan ng Crosswind.
Of course, I'm an Isuzu fan, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Will be getting our plates tomorrow after three months. May charge po kaya yung installation sa dealer? Or I may opt install it at home? Though I'm not sure if the bolts are from LTO, as I've read somewhere they provide temporary bolts untill the "tamper proof" ones arrive which will need a special tool.

Guys, i one of the mu-x (matic) buyers who are on the waiting list, just want to share my thoughts here. Based on my readings and in various forums, many are saying that that the mu-x is underpowered in its class.
I came from an innova d4d and said car really served me well, its a 2006 model and untill now it runs really well, this question begs me if the mu-x runs well compared to the innova (accelaration and speed wise).
This may sound a no-brainer because i am comparing apples to oranges, a 102hp auv to a 136hp suv, but i dont care if the mu-x is underpowered compares to other suvs in its class, for as long as i can be assured in theory and in actual case that indeed the mu-x performs better than the innova. Thanks mga bossing..

Kaya nga yung judgment ko sa kanya, nung una pa lang, talagang nasa Goldilocks zone sya. Shoot sa lahat ng criteria: engine, body, handling, safety kits, tech, pati pricing. Swak na swak talaga.
Congratz talaga to all the new owners!
