we have both cars,

if you will just be using the car for city driving. i highly suggest you go with the Kia sorrento!!!! strong engine, really good ride and in the highways, it's really fun to rev and drive all the way upto 180kph.....and kaya pa nyan...also think of this.... that the kia sorrento is also sold in north american countries which says a lot about its safety and reliability as an international car for all markets.

now, if you will be using the vehicle for offroad and the durability of a truck for manila streets, montero sport is the truck for you but be warned of the dreaded scv problem of the mnontero sport, noisy steering wheel problem. but you have the super slect 4wd system of the previous pajero, so i hope you will choose wisely and consider your driving habits, and use for the vehicle.

but if 4x2 diesel 7 seater....go with the sorrento....better car overall.

good luck on your choice.
