I checked out the Actyon Sports and it was more than i expected, alot more features than the leading brands. Did anyone else do their home work on this vehicle, would really like to know what the tuners think?

[Slow Poke]

looks like a good buy as well but google the reviews and see for yourself besides the front being weird it had some good reviews

this link has a good review and at 195k tt fully oaded it not bad just have to really get over the front

[R Boodoosingh]

Yeah the front kinda fugly but it have some grills that could chang it up like this one.

[biggy82]

^^^dat looking like a firetruck PT cruiser

[venum]

it's south korean

has a lot of features

rear coil springs

auto most

teh manual is drive by cable

basically a tall car with cargo capacity

it doesn't seem very rugged

Mercedes benz engine i believe

and it cheap

i wouldn't buy

but I am a mitsu whore

[Slow Poke]

i think its only not that rugged as it has a slightly lower ride height than the other pickups to me from the showroom its just about the height of a navara and also it lacks a lsd due to some manu warning saying that it wears out if driven on concrete other than that its a good enough diesel alternative pick up

[bleedingfreak]

What warranty yuh getting?

Price of parts and service?

[Greypatch]

springs car with space

[bleedingfreak]

springs car with space

Yeah boy... that must be some real high tensile springs yes...

[R Boodoosingh]

I have a Toyota Hilux and a friend has a Nissan Navara we both testrun the Actyon last week and this thing has better brakes, more safety features than the hilux and the Navara.
The one that i drive had a 2.0 Litre, 4 Cylinder Diesel Engine (i think 151hp) 6 Speed Automatic Transmission with Tiptronic controls on the steering wheel and on the shifter, Front and Rear Disc Brakes ,and yes it has a L.S.D diff.(its not $195k TT fully-loaded)

[biggy82]

we not disputing that R Boodoosingh; our contention is will it stand up to abuse like the more recognized brands can?

[R Boodoosingh]

I know biggy82, i was thinking that proberly a tuner has a Actyon and could have give me that kind of information (will it stand up to abuse like the more recognized brands ) but i think ill have to be the tuner test dummy on this one, because just like the Hilux it will be used for or machine shop and a little off road in TCL quarry

[Greypatch]

what about parts...and resale value pappy ?

[venum]

That will be strictly teh firm

or bring in from Malaysia or Singapore or Korea

[Team Loco]

it will not be a good buy in Trinidad, simply because the japanese pick-ups rule the market. the resale on it will never be high. it may be feature rich, but it doesnt seem like a genuine pick-up. just look at the spacing between the cab and the tray, very very slim spacing. lemme see the take a load of concrete brick nah.....

[Greypatch]

saw one on the road today not bad looking will be interested to see the inside

[Stuckindmud]

that reall ugly

[venum]

interior liek a car

[Slow Poke]

any updates?????

[R Boodoosingh]

any updates?????

It works better than the Hilux and the Navara in terms of driving performance real stable on the road faster ,built stronger , and thumbs up manual shift on the steering and on the gear shift is fun to drive especially on the hiway this thing is fast. I wish I had the brakeing power like that on the hilux. The ride is nothing like a van its like a SUV, smooth
it a good work horse to because it works just as hard in the machine shop like the hilux

Faster than the Navara? Am i reading that right?

I saw a Navara rough up a Swift Sport on the highway just this week ... it sucked for the Swift Sport guy

[R Boodoosingh]

My Gas Hilux give the Navara a good run for he money the hilux a bit faster but we dident expect the Actyon to cut we azz and with my father driving too but by the time Navin done turbo my 2.7 Lux then we will se who talkin

[Cooper]

I still think it's OOOGLY

[venum]

puke

i literally spend 1 hr BEGGIN a pardna NOT to buy this crap

the sales and marketing ppl really doing a fantastic job at selling these

he eventually listened to me and got a loaded auto navara

[sweeks]

A consideration for most of us:

Ques: Would you buy this used? If not then don't buy it new, cause it'll be a pressure to resell.

Unless of course you're filthy rich and resale doesn't matter. Then go brave.

Very valid and interesting point of view ...

[civic minded]

probably need to wait and see what happens - i am seeing a few down south - so if it gained popularity - probably the resale value wont be that bad..

[Greypatch]

man the nav man must be just crusing....

resale is a hell of a thing eh...

but ah guess once they stay in the market that will solve over time...a long time though
