Manged to get behind the wheel of the Isuzu D Max for a short drive.
To be frank, this is not the 4WD version, but rather the lower end FR version. Driftable? Hmmm..
Simple looks, but no fog lights.
Rear view. Yup, it's a 2.5L Turbodiesel.
Meter cluster. OMG, redline at 4200rpm?
Vie of cockpit. Very boring interior. And it's a manual.
Engine bay. Pretty dull looking. Had to be expected cuz it's a workhorse. hey, what's the small words there?
Wow. Turbo. Niceeee~
Well, I must say that this car, initially it's kinda hard to drive, and you need to keep an eye on the tachometer, as the redline is at 4200rpm. And a note to myself, this is not a car to go vroom vroom. The manual shifting is smooth, and the clutch is nicely weighted. Since it's a FR/2WD version, there's no low range box, and this can cripple the D Max off road. It may have a turbo, but no matter how hard I rev, the speed just won't climb dramatically. Anyhow, driving the D Max is quite an eye opener, as the view is so much higher, and it's way longer than the Optra I drive.
