How's the Fortuner?
Medyo may plano kami to get a 4x2 family car/SUV, na mataas (in case umulan, dahil ang daily route ay along Espana). So yung ride ba ng Fortuner ay mas naging car-like na compared to the pre-facelift one?

Well I'm also here in KSA, last April we bougth a 3.0V Fortuner 2010, and have no regret in regards to the look and speed, and all the improvements.

As my sales agent told me, there is no new model coming up, except the upgrade one. (3.0 d4d), if ever Toyota will release a new model, that will
only be on 2015.

According to motioncars.com, the Fortuner was released sometime 2005, so it is approximately 4.5 years old. Given this, I don't think an all new model will be released by late 2010/early 2011; another facelift perhaps, or additional features for the same money to spur sales.

Do you really beleive that?

Sales are dwindling in all countries except India (it's not long on the Indian market). The engines and the rear suspension are the man complaints. I do not think that Toyota will sit down and take it. They will produce either an all new model or a greatly revised model in the next year or 18 months. Even with the top spec Fortuner's php80,000 discount, the Montero is selling at twice the rate.

Even with the constraints of the 'dirty' Filipino diesel fuel, 100hp from a 2.5L engine is riduculous. 2.5L pajero's were producing 100hp 20 years ago.

It was released May 2005 so it is already 5 years in the market.

Not true unless of course, Toyota would like to make the Fortuner like the longest selling model of Mitsubishi, the L300 Versa Van. 23 years in the market and still counting.

Sales Agents will tell the buyer anything they want to hear just to clinch a sale.

The last Hi-Lux model was in production for eight years. The one before it lasted for ten years. The Fortuner may also be a one off model similar to the Revo. Don't expect the Fortuner to sell the way it did 5 years ago, but I doubt the Montero Sports would ever equal the number of Fortuners that was sold. Mitsubishi still has to totally shake off the stigma for selling lemons in the 90s.

thanks.

I think you don't need to look for the speed, becoz it is very seldom here in our country that the car can run more than 150 km/hr, even in the expressway, aside from speed limit of 100 km/hr. there are a lot of undisciplined drivers.
The only thing that I can recommend is, it is better to buy the manual variant of the fortuner, kasi malakas daw sa brake pad ang mga automatic nila and more maintenance than manual, and also when it comes to consumption and engine sound mas swabe ang tunog ng makina ng manual variant hindi sya hirap, kahit 2.5 lang sya pero sa hatakan, wala akong masabi, kasi yon ang unit ko, 2.5 G M/T, mas mura pa sa lahat ng fortuner, pareho lang din ng feature sa ibang fort.

Flamebaiting? Post something sensible to begin with if you want anyone to recognize you considering your 4 post count. Sheesh, the immaturity level is amusing. Isipin mo rin siguro na gusto niya yung 4x4, eh automatic lang meron nun. Toink!
