    Hi there people..
    Which one to pick the ideal car..? I read some of the threads here regarding car comparisons,so maybe its a better idea if i could hear some of your views,if theres anything that you can share of my book is open for this is our First Family Car..Right now the two top of my list is the Montero 4x2 and the new Sportivo 2010..Both cars are Automatic Trans...
    If we talked fuel efficiency the compression ratio of Sportivo is 18.5:1 while the Montero is 17:1..Means Sportivo has a better advantage incomes of saving fuel, low cost but more power can gave..
    How about the riding comfort?well i hope to hear some more insights regarding which has the more stability or bumpy ones?
    Many thanks in advance and it well help me alot deciding which one to get for my Family Use..

    No offense but I think the thread is kinda awkward and to be honest (again no offense) a joke. Of course the Montero 4X2, the Crosswind is like a decade old car and I wouldn't buy those anymore especially for family transportation. Baka pang karga ng bagahe pwede...

    the only way i'll get the sportivo a/t is if it'll be given to me for free. and then i'll just sell it and augment the cash to buy the montero

    I'll pick Montero 4x2 over Sportivo for the following simple reasons below:

    1. mas head turner Montero
    2. more powerful engine with more hp and torque
    3. nicer interiors

    Gusto ko lang sa Sportivo yung built-in entertainment system nya with LCDs at syempre mas mura.

    I own both. crosswind (XTO '01 M/T) and montero ('09 3.2 4X4 A/T), i acquired them nung mga unang labas pa so walang sisi kung madali maluluma. Till now same body pa rin ang Crosswind

    Matipid and easy to maintain ang Crosswind, simple para sa mga di maarte :2thumbsup:

    Montero for its new look, riding comfort and speed :2thumbsup:

    Since you prefer A/T, Montero na. but kung M/T it's a 50-50 for me.

    Good luck

    Since the car is for family use, it would be better to put your family in a safe vehicle.

    Montero 4x2- CRDi Engine, INVECS A/T Transmission, Dual Airbags, 4-Star EuroNCAP Crash Safety Rating (from its brother the L200 Strada), Anti-lock Brakes,and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution.
    Sportivo 2010- No Airbags, No ABS or EBD, Noisy Non-CRDi Diesel Engine even though it has proven its reliability the A/T transmission is a horror story, and lastly no Crash Safety Rating.

    Just ask yourself where would you put your family if you were to have a crash?

    Since you mentioned 'family car', I'll put my vote on this - MS.
