2011 FORTUNER vs 2011 MONTERO SPORT

[jaguarchua]

ayun! haha inaantay ko nalang ung Red na Montero Sport tagal ng carworld magrelease ng unit.. ayaw ng erpats ko ng fortuner kasi daw parang naka hilux lang din hehehe

hAHAHA natawa ako dun ha, halos magkamukha nga yung Fort at Hilux maski interior similar yung tatlo including Innova eh. pero ganun din ang MS, similar face with Strada or Triton (medyo iba nga lang ang interior dash). Hehehehe pampalubag loob dun sa mga nabili na ang mga SUV nila, Love your own hahahaha

+ 1 ako dito, halos parehas ang dalawa no regret naman kahit alin dito mapili nyo they're both serve their purpose well. Fort naman di naman outdated design good looking SUV parin sya, monty naman astig din dating. Actually I joined the FCP-MSCP Rivals United Funrun 2010, a joint funrun of Montero and Fortuner owners. We were all happy with our vehicles there were no rivalry really among us, kaya huwag natin pag-awayin ang dalawa. Sorry OT. Pero my vote for this is either of the two.

Tama ka sir, Good looking naman ang Fort (i didnt say that its not at all) pero outdated yung design since medyo matagal na ang modelo at nagfacelift lang, yun namang knobs ng Montero, aminin natin, parang Wash and Spin knob ng lumang Washing machine talaga eh. So maybe, if they can come up with newer designs for the next models, malamang magaganda yun since bago ulit. I'm sure it will take time though kasi hotcake parin bentahan ng MS so Im banking that Toyota will get ahead in changing/ upgrading their next Fort. Sana palitan na ng Mitsu ang knobs kasi ultimo washing machine ngayon automated na at push button narin eh hehehe

[jaguarchua]

kaya nga dapat bilhin nyo na lang pareho. parang Blackberry at Iphone, lagi pinag-aaway ang features ang solution dalhin pareho araw-araw

yan ang problema sa mga naka-Fortuner, i'm sure they dream of having the Montero one day and vice versa.

parang kaming mga naka-Korean cRDi, no we won't ever as in ever consider getting those tanks.

ang sa'min pag naka - Santa FE ka na, you dream of having a Sorento and vice versa

Sir, may konting problema parin tyo if we buy both Fort and monty, We would probably have a hard time deciding which one to drive daily unless salitan sila unlike iphone and Blackberry which you can both bring anywhere, anytime hahahaha but you are definitely spot on, on one thing, Ang angas ng dating ng Sorento, sayng lang at CUV sya, sana ginawang SUV narin

[IMm29]

Actually, IIRC, the Sorento is like the Santa Fe. They both have 3 rows. The Sorento may not look to be as big as the MS or Fort, but that's only probably because it's physically shorter in terms of ride height. Have a look inside, it's pretty spacious.

Downside nga lang, is also product availability.

Tanong ko lang ... ano naman kung maging CUV o SUV yung kotse ?

Siguro sa itsura ng Sorento, di mo naman i-offroad yung palagi kahit na masama siya sa SUV category. And, sigurado ako kaya ng Sorento mag mild-offroading.

Good point, kunsabagay, maski suv, parehong nadale sa Undoy. Lamang lang nga kung gusto mong umiwas sa mababahang lugar. Kung maayos lang ang kalsada sa Pilipinas, at di binabaha... panalong panalo ang Sorento, pero sa ngayon, masmabuti nang umiwas pusoy.

I fully agree with you sir, downside also is the unreasonable pricing considering that Korean builders has just recently been surging in market penetration. I actually, love the drive and ride and even the sophisticated functions of the automation inside the Sorento. heck, it even won the People's choice awards this year (which was held by Montero sport for the previous years) but when we talk of practicality in functions to Road hazards, force majeur and most of all in selling price, we probably won't get the proper bang for our bucks. Just my opinion sir.

Right, sometimes useless din mga SUV during heavy downpour di ka rin makaalis barado kalsada kasi buhol buhol traffic

Tama Sir. pero in a situation na youre stuck in heavy traffic na potentially babahain til your waist line due to heavy rain downpour nga.... where would you rather be in and drifing? CUV na mababa or SUV na mataas at malalaki ang gulong? esep esep

[Starex_Gold]

CUV has better traction. Wala sa laki ng gulong yan..

Based on personal experience.

[MrGunn]

Primary consideration between CUV and SUV is its use and driver preference/comfort. If you want an anti-Ondoy vehicle, the best option is a pumpboat.

No doubt about better traction, but point of laki gulong is clearance above ground and better chance of escaping flooded area than CUV.

Pumpboat is good if its included in this car comparison, I just hope you can drive your pumpboat even if theres no ondoy at all. Again, we all know that CUV such as Sorento has a better feel in driving because parang kotse ang kapit sa kalsada and the comfort of maneuverubility. SUV however, pwedeng imaneho sa kalsada or sa grabeng malulubak at pwedeng umeskapo sa matataas na baha. better chance of driving away from all those hazards kumbaga.

Actually mine is SUV its a fortuner, even my fort is able to cross the flood I still choose not to, wait to subside along with other sedans and CUV, dami sisirain like bearing, sensors, catalytic, etc.

But in situation that you have to cross or escape otherwise it will be more dangerous, SUV has the advantage over CUV.

I second the motion and close. We are talking the same language after all. This is exactly what I have in mind. Thank you for expounding sir. Hope we can exchange ideas more often.

Come to think of it. If Kia can come up with an SUV that is fairly comaparable to the built of the likes of any FORT or MONTY (reasonably priced) and vice versa, should Mitsubishi and Toyota can build an SUV that can offer sophistication and driving comforts that Sorento and other cool CUV possess, then I will be first in line to purchase one.

Pag inabot kayo ng biglang buhos at biglang baha sa sampaloc area, na tipong walang atrasan dahil madami nang naka sunod sayo at nasa harap mo yung baha na hanggang bewang, tapos sa gitna ng intrsection na malalim ang baha may dead on the water na vios, CRV at Isuzu delivery truck,magpapasalamat ka sa Diyos at naka SUV kang malaki.

Pag tawid ko sa baha ang mga kasama kong survivor mga Fieldmaster tulad ng sakin, DMAX, Patrol, Montero, Fortuner at Ford Pickups Kaya dun sa nagsabing di impoertante ang ride height medyo I dont agree, kasi yun 15 mins na yun na no choice ka is critical kung gagastos ka ng overhaul na daang libo aabutin plus abala or getting home safely

Salamat Sir, for stressing my point. tinuldukan nyong mabuti. Im just wondering if more people will still buy expensive CUV's katulad ng Sorento na Php 1.7Million tapos mamatay lang sa baha kapag naipit sa nabanggit ninyong situation.

[Starex_Gold]

Hahaha

I will. Even the 2-Million peso variant of Sorento. Di baleng masira, maganda naman

Kidding aside, siguro kung alam kong bahain na lugar yung dadaanan ko, yung Trooper nalang gagamitin ko. At least yun kung masira eh itatapon nalang.
