2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[Expatio]

No more noticable smoke on idle although not left on idle for 20mins with climate control on full. Put a 1/2 tank Shell ultra on monday. Not sure if it's the fuel or just the weather conditions.

Had one MID crash once and am pretty sure it was because it was so hot (maybe 45C-50C) inside the cabin. I fiddled with the steering remote (couldn't remember pogey-uy 's reset sequence) until I got it to reboot.

MINI REVIEW TO FOLLOW ..........

[Expatio]

[SIZE=3]My Mini Review of GT-V (after week One)[/SIZE]

What I do like:

• Power. My god when you put your foot down to overtake this car really pleases me. Great for getting past 10 wheel trucks or a row of motor trikes in double quick time. It is so much better than the non-vgt.
• Gearbox I like this 5sp box and am starting to be at home with it. The changes are smooth and in casual driving unnoticable. Have already had cause to have in low range in a steep offroad climb and desent. The paddle shifters have a great 'showoff' factor and have only used a few times. Would be of good benifit off road and on steep inclines ug declines sa buckid.
• Ride. Compared to my friends Fortuner is is great (even he admits this)
• Steering. In my opinion weighted perfectly. Of course I drive with both hands on the steering as do most Europeans (otherwise we would never pass our test to get a licence) and seldom cross hands even in tight parking manuevers.
• Lights. The HIDs are really good and when you go on 'full beam' they remain on. For the love of me, I don't know why anybody would want to upgrade the full beam to HIDs.
• MID Works fine with her Ipod plugged in; all stuff including playlists on screen. My Iphone works fine via bluetooth which is a bonus here in the provinces where you really need to keep your eyes on the road (motor trikes being he biggest culprit, followed by multicabs ) all of the time. Probably could be improvesd with better speakers just like most cars. Rear camera (extra) is a bonus for low lying object or kids complimenting the rear sensors.
• Seats The folding of the second row and third row seats is so simple and fast (once you know how). For those who complain, I just do not beleive they actually own a MS at all. The 3rd row can be folded in seconds from the rear. Pull one stap tumble seat, pull second strap fold backrest. Five seconds max. The leather quality is better than the Mitsubishis in the 90s. Driver seat is electric; but I dont care so much about that.
• Alarm/Central locking. Works fine except if you turn off engine, open door to let out passenger (wife?), then lock manually from inside you set the alarm. Not so keen on the auto locking as soon as you start up, and would rater it be activated at 10kmph via speed sensorinstead.
• Climate Control Cool as you require; say no more.
• Looks Of course that is personal preference. But in my opinions the MS beats the opposition by a country mile both inside and out. Maybe MMPC should put standard 18" on GT-V

What I do not like:

• The parking brake Maybe because my last 3 cars had foot operated activation of parking brake and hand release (one pull). But I seem to be not letting the lever right down. I only notice when I see the light in the dash.
• Lights They do not come on when I deactivate the alarm like my last car
• Wipers No rain sensor like last two cars.

I just had the tires inflated with nitrogen this afternoon. 32psi front and rear. Noticed a bit of stiff ride. BUT! the speed and acceleration can give you an extra grin! The power just got better! Less friction on the tires are quite significant.

How much did it cost ?

i'm doing this with my Monty. But when i tried driving with another GLS-V, I could use only one hand. darn! It pays to being first in our province. Checked my tire pressure and its in 30-32. Oh well, my CASA is still "waiting" feedback from the plant.

still, positive vibes!

Sir, just a suggestion, i used to have that problem with my L300
before. We found out that it was the hydraulics of the power steering that was needed to be replaced.

[SIZE=6]Anybody knows what is the promo of mitsubishi montero this April 2011? [/SIZE]

How much did it cost ?

Regarding nitrogen it's 100 pesos per tire. Congressional avenue area. Steering got lighter too.
