Help me choose a new Mid size SUV or Crossover SUV

OT: Thanks for sharing bro. So I guess, hindi pala kame nagkamali sa pagpili sa Fortuner way back 2010. Fort at MS kasi pinagpipilian namin dati, MS ang gusto ko pero minsan nagtext sakin father ko na nakabili na daw siya at Fort daw pinili niya. Malamang kung Monty din ang nabili namin eh baka mausok na yun, minsan lang din namin magamit eh. 19,5XX kms pa lang natatakbo up to now.

BTT: Malapit na lumabas yung bagong Fortuner bro, baka pag nakita mo concept nang all new eh magsisi ka at masabi mo pang sana naghintay ka na lang ng bagong model. Pero malamang kung magReveal naman sa 2015 eh baka MU-X ang mangyare jan. Mahaba ang waiting list.

Sa Monty naman may nababasa ako blanking ng EGR, para yata yun hindi na maging mausok. Parehas naman maganda yung unit at reliable. Kung anung brand na lang ang makakapagbigay ng mas magandang offer eh yun na lang kunin mo.

Just my 2 cents

If I can trade my Monty to the current Fort G AT for free, I'll do that I like the LC200-inspired look.

For EGR blanking, I have a friend who did it in his Monty but got a CEL. Which was why I didn't consider it as an option. It's just that, the emission center douchebags know the weakness of the Monty, rev it hard, smoke will puff out of the exhaust. I feel my SUV is being abused every year when I get to register it.

narinig ko din yan about sa update ng fortuner. new engine daw and transmission ata yung update next time. pero i think ok na yung 144ps ng current gen, hindi ko din naman maeextend yung pag gamit since everywhere traffic dito.
salamat sa payo, i think i will get the fortuner next year mid April or May.

Simple lang naman. Nung dinagdag nya sa specs ang "enjoyment" napaisip ako...

Hindi nga naman enjoy magbyahe sa trapik, kahit pa Mustang dala mo maghatid sa bata at pumasok. so hindi city driving ang tinuturing nya dito. Saka basa ko sa TS eh, advanced driver kaya nya nilagay yun sa specs nya...

Syempre, anu-ano ba ang 'enjoy' moments sa pag-maneho? Karera syempre, mag BRC paminsan minsan o matutong mag drift. tapos nandyan din ang weekend off-road ka sa Pinatubo trail o sa Buhanginan sa Norte, o tumulong sa mga na-Yolanda at pasukin ang mga wasak na kalye. Yun ang basehan ng mga nabanggit kong modelo, pangarera at pang putik.

Eh malay ko ba na pang party pala with close friends ang gusto nyang enjoy. Kaya nung huli kong post, pati van sinama ko na, para dala lahat barkada saka estudyante nya, me bitbit pang mga aso... ^^

Well, nakapili na naman si TS so when he's happy, happy na rin tayo.

he has a point, i will definitely get a BRZ or WRX if pwede lang, pero mas prefer ko ngayon is SUV para kahit bumaha man mas kayang idaan. and just to clarify things up. 21 y.o. palang po ako and still a student. hehehe

Whats a CEL?

[victorevolution]

tama yung nag suggest ng montero and fort(stick to the choices)

caveat emptor- tama din ang sinabi ng isa na this vehicles, are nearing the end of it's life(design).

consider the crossover(small) only when your:
-single
-as a 2nd car
-as a toy(easy to drive small enough for those crap arse metro manila traffic good acceleration to avoid puv's and trucks)

but the fort and montero gets my vote

Hi!

I'm planning to buy my 1st car in the near future, but I'm can't decide between the following Car to choose from.
Choices:
2015 Toyota Fortuner 2.5 V
2014 Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS-V
2014 Toyota Rav4 4x2 Full Option
2014 Subaru Forester 2.0i-Premium
Budget is <1.7M
Purpose: Daily drive to school and work.
point to consider when buying are:
Fuel Consumption
Drive Comfort
Maintenance Cost
Parts(in case na masiraan)
Enjoyment.
Di ako makapagdecide in which car that i would buy for myself.
and any suggestion of dealership na maganda ang offer nila (in quezon city or near)
also shop na magandang offer nila sa mga accessories for the cars said above.


thank you and more power mga katsikot !

Ngayon na ba? Current MS, Fort or Rav4. If I were you antayin ko na all new Fort then decide.

I'd go with the Montero. It's got commendable interior room, good ride quality and engine performance. I find it more modern than the Fort overall.

We have a Strada GLS Sport V. Did nothing with the EGR. We regularly load up with Seaoil Euro 4 diesel. Never notice any black smoke.

Primary choice would be the Montero. I have no idea about the variants now but back when i got mine, the only choices were glx, gls and gls se. (i got the gls,4x2 matic)

With the pics i see that are being posted now there are so many toys available for the 4x2 variant (navi,paddle shifts,cruise control,etc etc)

So for the price, i guess it is the bang for the buck option.

But IF ever TOTL variants are lined up, then Trailblazer LTZ gets my vote because of all its safety features.

Totally agree on this one. If you're gonna get a 4x4, get the TB LTZ indeed.
