2012 Fortuner 3.0V vs Montero Sport GTV

[thunderguy]

Some people just can't accept facts that's why they get too anecdotal about their experiences

FACT 1: Different folks = different strokes

Call it coincidence Walter? Here's some facts why TOYOTA ;)

FACT 2: TOYOTA is the world's top carmaker in global brand valuation
Toyota is top carmarker in global brand value evaluation - News | TopGear.com.ph

FACT 3: The so-called vaunted Mitsubishi is even a neverheard in the Top 100 best global brands

FACT 4: Only shows that the biggest chunk of car buyers in the world are owning TOYOTAS ;)

Sir please click link http://www.which.co.uk/news/2011/03/...turers-247619/. The list shows that Mitsubishi got an 81% rating in the top ten reliable car manufacturers of 2010. fyi. not a monty owner here just an avid reader.

Being the tambay of the local aircon shop, the Fortuner (and it's IMV siblings) require full dashboard removal for a/c service.

The Montero just requires glove box removal.

Aircon servicing the Yota requires more time, costs more in labor, and has the potential for more things to go wrong (broken clips, wiring not reattached, etc.).

It's a minor thing I guess, but that's my pet peeve. Not a problem in the first five years of ownership but as cars get older, they also need to be serviced.

How about the periodic maintenance cost for this 2 vehicles?

Montero for me.6 months namin pinagpilian between montero or fortuner.montero wins hands down,be it on paper or actual performance.also test driven both.try viewing both brand forums and youll see how happy montero owners are.also view botchi santos' review on top gear hehe.peace

IMHO, i'd go for fortuner when it comes to exterior and interior. but if performance i'd go for montero.
walang sinabi 4x4 top of the line ng fortuner sa Montero 4x2 pa lang.

Before, I was hesitant about the Montero because I really liked the Fortuner's looks. But with how the "All-new" Fortuner looks like , I'm already leaning towards the Montero in terms of looks preference. In beige, with an OEM spoiler.

However, my Montero preference would just stay where it is if it's battled with the Fortuner. Put in the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Kia Sorento then my choice would definitely change.

My dad bought a GTV in December, I got a 2.5G (3.0V too expensive for me) this January. He is happy with his and I am happy with mine. Can't go wrong with either one of them. Both gives you value for money. I don't see any reason to be a fan boy of any of these vehicles (car maker). Both delivers well for what you pay for. Although it took me almost 6 months to decide; among the choices were the Tucson evgt 4x2, cx-7, camry g, sonata and xtrail.

i just a fortuner 3 days ago. i was really thinking of getting a montero pero nung nag convoy kami ng bro-in-law ko na naka evgt ba montero napansin ko na kahit bnew yung montero nya mausok na kaagad sya so after the convoy i went to toyota and ordered myself a fortuner,

[OTEP]

Personally, just get the one you like better. You cant really lose with either one. Im a Toyota driver but between the two, Id easily pick the Monty. No use regretting later on that you got a car you didnt like. Take them both for a good test drive to help you decide.

[OTEP]

Yep. Sa top end, all the fort variants are pretty equal since it is drag limited and not limited by power or gearing.

However, the time it takes you to reach that speed is what makes the 3.0 variant different from the 2.5

We owned a 2005 model Sportivo and 2012 Montero sport GT-V. Wala naman kaming reklamon sa sportivo kaya lang medyo mabagal ang acceleration niya. Sa montero naman, Maganda ang handling niya, mabilis, good suspension. If you will compare the montero and fortuner closely, there is a big difference in Montero GLS-V and GTV. Its like you will think of it many times of which model you'll buy. Unlike Fortuner, konti lang ang difference, If im not mistaken, the 4x4 variant vs 4x2 in G model, HID light auto- levelling , aand power seat for the driver. Yun lang. Comapred to the montero, it has GPS navigation, sporty yung loob niya sobra.

I guess you should go for montero. You'll never regret it. :D

wait mo nalang fortuner 2.5 with VNT/VGT kung dmo type montero gtv, pero ang direct na kalaban nya ay yung non vgt montero kc mas malakas parin hp/torque ng mga V variant ng montero sa parehas or konti lang difference sa price, pero mas mura ang non vgt montero na kaya parin makipag sabayan sa forutuner 2.5 VNT

I wonder kung kaya ng Fortuner ang ganitong sporty driving hehehe

na elibs ako sa Monty dito.

[jaymd]

kaya din ng fort yan. weak link ng montero yun steering rack nya. rack and pinion kasi. recirc ball na ata sa fort. mas pang laspagan. the firmer ride of the fort will give it better handling or a sense of better handling hehe. the fort is faster or feels faster. the GTV feels sluggish.

tapos sabi nila mas nagbo-body roll ang montero? hehe

Mas matigas kasi pang-ilalim ng Fortuner kaya ganun.
