I have driven the 2012 GLS-V monty only for the past 4 days mga 1-2 hrs driving, sa lahat nung bago nyang upgrades yng cruise control for me is the most useful, lalo na sa NLEX. Yng aircon sa mid and third row cguro next, tried to shutoff the rear fans nung may passenger ako sa likod nabubugbog ako nung fan sa harap naman because I have to increase their output. Yng paddle shifter d ko masyado nagagamit.

For the issues, which I would also like to ask the other owners kng na experience nyo sya, pag nagshift ka sa drive from neutral parang d smooth o parang may subtle na kadyot pag binitiwan m yng brake habang d ka pa naka step sa gas. Planning to inquire about it sa casa pag 1000 checkup. I also noted a decrease in the acceleration from a standing start when I refilled the tank with our local diesel although baka lng naman gumaan lng yng paa ko sa accelerator, been used to driving a car. Lastly yng busina nya parang hilaw, parang kailangan ng mas malakas na horn. Overall I am currently happy with the monty, both with the ride and amenities. Sana pag nag PMS na sya happy pa din ako sa price and service. ;)

So far I am pretty much happy with my 2012 GLS-V. Problem ko lang when the rear aircons are turned on and switched to 2nd and 3rd level ang inggay ng motor niya (Mabibingi mga tao sa likod) - question is, is that normal? Do you guys experience it aswell?

Thank you Sir for your detailed observations! I am waiting for my 2012 GLS-V Quartz Brown Monty to be released tomorrow or on Wednesday. However, here's a few things I observed when I took it out for a test drive. Parang wala akong na feel nung ginamit ko yung paddle shifter. I tap the + paddle pero wala ata akong naramdaman na kahit ano and I did it a few times. Sa aircon, parang medyo mahina ata. I test drove it an inclined road in Antipolo with one section that is really steep. Ok namn ang hatak pero I was expecting more pa. So far yun pa lang na-observed ko. I'll be reporting more as soon as I get my hands on my Monty this week. : )
