Calsonic.. Nice.... and yung 2011 forester.. digital na ang mga controls sa aircon.

yun pala brand ng AC ng nissan at Subaru. Mas malamig talaga A/C nila vs MMC, Isuzu at TMC IMO.

I have got a fortuner before. it's powerful and fast. 160 at nlex doesn't feel like you're driving that speed, it's so calm and still have a kick more at that speed. and i can drive it in a knee-deep flood every time it rains when driving home. what about the forester?im not particular with extra seats.many thanks

the fxt is really fast.. was at SLEX at 530 am and i ran upto 210 kmh.. everytime i drive the fxt it always brings a smile to my face

For those who've seen the new XT: is it still a 4-speed AT or will it sport a 5-speed? The Highlights section of the MIAS web site (http://www.manilaautoshow.com/highlights/index.htm) doesn't say anything about the tranny. Thanks.

the fxt is just about straight line speed or top speed, it can also out handle a lot of cars on the track and on a twisty road.

Hey MICGIL. What do you need in the vehicle? In my view, pick the Fortuner only if you absolutely need those two extra seats (which are quite cramped and take up some of the trunk space, because they don't fold flat.), the extra ground clearance, and the toughness of the truck frame and solid rear axle. Or if you need more serious off-roading qualities, like the transfer case.

Otherwise, the Forester has ample ground clearance anyway at 8.9 inches, a nicer/more stable drive, a huge trunk without seats that get in the way, probably a more comfortable ride, and some other things that make the Forester a better buy. hope this helps.[/quote]

Alright, here are my thoughts:
> fortuner brings about everything I need in a car. tough looks, power, speed, fuel efficient (8km/L diesel), ergonomic interior, ground clearance, cargo space, commanding view, off-road capable, high resale, trd options, dealer every where.
> however i want to be unique but cannot afford an X5

If you don't really go major offroading and aren't that conscious about FC, get the FXT. It's faster, rides better, handles better and there aren't as many of them on the road. It's not just fast, it's fast even in the corners. Tried racing one on the twisties in my truck but couldn't keep up.

IMO there are way too many Forts on the road already. Wish Ford and Nissan would bring their latest pickup based SUVs here already.

looks will depend on the person looking, fc, ground clearance, resale value and dealer every where lang na talo ang forester. space wise the forester is better, cargo and legroom.

The Fortuner's ground clearance versus the Forester isn't such a big advantage... the Forester is a very capable stock ride off-road.

And the Forester has a better ride, better handling, better brakes and a better, more comfortable interior. Okay, so, handling-wise and transmission-wise, not quite as good as the Mitsubishi ASX, but it's still a good truck.

Just got back from Aurora ... Baler, Aurora -- not Aurora Boulevard. Through the up-down zig zags, rough roads, and straight on to the beach -- yep. The sand. No back pains too!

And it took me just 5 and a half hours with 4 stops. Normal time according to most people is 6 and a half to eight. And Im a slow driver -- slower than Niky anyway. Dude, get the Fort. hehe.

just got into my mind. raeding the threads, forester owners are so fanatic, they seem to be from subaru.hehe. peace. perhaps ill be one proud owner too
