October 4th, 2013 10:48 AM #21I've always wondered about that, since our Strada didn't have this problem. Many folks say extra weight of the Montero over the Strada is the reason. But then the Montero in question is 4x2, versus a 4x4 Strada with a Carryboy canopy. No black smoke noticed even with fully loaded cabin and bed. We use Unioil Euro 4 diesel, I wonder if that's the reason.

I think it's to do with fuel quality and where you diesel up. I've driven some that didn't smoke, and some that smoked like hell.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

October 7th, 2013 10:58 PM #232014 Subaru Forester!
Before we decided on this we were also considering the Tucson and the CX5 but when you put them head to head the forester's features stands out.
Safety: it has 8 airbags, traction control.
Performance: proven and tested naman na ang boxer engine and symmetrical awd ng subies. Plus the X-mode is now a standard even in a base model. You'll never know when you'll need it
Comfort: since my family's a fan of soft and comfy rides ok sya cause they placed the engine lower so you'll get a lower center of gravity daw which results to less vibration.
Fc: hway (conservative) I got 9.8L/100km or 10km/L according to the car which sounds about right.
Hway (hataw) 13L/100km or 7.6km/L
In city I average between 7-8km/L
This is the base model btw. The non turbo 2.0 model. For 1.397m as its sticker price, it's worth every penny.
Maintenance wise, you only have to take it to the shop every 8k km and it would cost you around 6.3k.
The only advice of our agent is to maintain the comp insurance cause some parts are expensive like the headlight alone cost 120k and I'm not even sure if it's a pair already.
I hope this helps!

Kaya dapat rubberize nalang yung sa headlight, para di mabasag. :D
