Strada, which variant? 2.5L or 3.2L?

**downshifter** · May 2nd, 2008 06:18 PM

sir, may idea kayo kapag OEM flarings din? mas gus2 ko yung from casa talaga e...

if flarings and wheels are affordable, do you recommend na i should get the 2.5GLX na lang and do the modifications? mukang mas cheaper e....kesa 2.5GLS but i dont need the 4x4 feature.....

after market flairings of GLX looks like the flairings of the GLS... looks can be deceiving...it will take several assessment to see the differences... if you don't need 4x4, why buy? but of course, it depends on you sir...

GLS (4x4) has:

4x4
multi info display
tpms
auto aorcon
armrest
retractable rear window
fender flaire, belt

I suggest that you should attend the Strada mini eb for your other queries... the members are friendly...

Hello, downshifter, not to let you down. Mukhang matibay naman ang strada for everyday city-driving and highway use. But if driving comfort is a main factor, and the way you plan to use the vehicle is as what you have described above, I think you'll be better off with an SUV, an Everest in your case. Medyo jarry ang manibela ng strada sa lubak. But for passenger comfort, maganda talaga ang ride ng strada, wala akong masabi.

I suggest that you test drive a strada and pass through potholes and see if the jarriness is ok with you. Kung ok at walang problema, then go ahead and acquire one.....you are in for a winner.

The strada has a lot other excellent characteristics that made us love the truck.

thanks ooba99...everest and strada talaga options ko...the reason i want strada is because i have a 4x4 SUV already. Im thinking of a different vehicle na may ibang function saken in the near future..like pg may ikakarga ko na gmet and at the same time, pro-lubak talaga...medyo ayaw ko na nung preno ng preno lage sa mga lubak e.....but since everest is also good in off-roading and has better seating capacity, medyo confused ako.....nkaka enganyo lang kasi yung strada kasi very affordable yung GLX nila tpos i can upgrade to GLS looks na hindi naman gagastos ng madami....

btw, what is the best tire size for the GLX 4x2? pede ba dito yung 265/70 R16?

thanks

nonetheless, i encourage you with meet up with the Strada Owners- usually every friday night. they can give you further details- to see is to believe- ika nga...

it is still best to go for the 245/70R16- size of the 2.5 GLS because of the width of the stock rim of the GLX - pwede rin yung 265 but the appearance looks odd. IMO

For this reason alone, the pick-up would be better.

Makikisabat po,

Thingking about this vehicle also.

Eh kung GL kaya -> GLS look tutal replace all tires/wheels naman. Mukang lalong mas mura. Close to GLX ang price me Carryboy canopy na cguro. Hindi lang cguro mahahabol un grill. Un side mirror makukuha rin malamang.

All power din ba GL ? Accrdng to motion car yes.

???

Salamat
