2013 AT - Montero 4x4 vs Santa Fe 4x2 vs Chevrolet Trailblazer 4x4

[albert_b]

I heard thailand does every 20k PMS for their Trailblazer. I guess the 10k should be enough for hazardous Philippines

Nakita ko din sa trinoma kahapon yung sf, sobrang nagandahan din ako. Kaya lang hindi ba parang overpriced? 1.7m na yung 4x2 a/t.

Try to compare the 2011 Santa Fe GLS CRDi 2WD A/T and the 2013 Santa Fe GLS CRDi 2WD A/T. Spec-by-spec, lamang yun bago. Kaya mahal.

I don't think the Trailblazer can match the ride comfort of Sta Fe because the Colorado's ride loses out to Hilux in Australia. If they changed the suspension of the Trailblazer, then we can compare.

The analysis is incorrect. The suspension of the Trailblazer is not the same as the Colorado.

Colorado
front: Independent, double wishbone with torsion bar and gas shock absorbers
rear: Leaf spring with half oval steel pads with gas shock absorbers

Trailblazer
front:Independent, double wishbone with torsion bar and gas shock absorbers
rear: 5 Link coil rear suspension

whats the body structure of trailblazer( ladder frame or monocoque)? if its ladder frame i think sta fe has an edge on ride comfort.

How can numbah5 be a fanboy? Look at his avatar.... Hehe. I would think that he is objective since he already owns a montero and can admit that the trailblazer is better.

And I already test drove the new SF courtesy of Hancars. My only gripe with the new SF is that luggage became a bit smaller than the 2nd generation. But it is fun to drive, nimble steering, typical of what you expect from Korean SUVs. What I'm waiting for is for the Trailblazer to be ready for test drive, especially the LTZ variant. I just want to confirm C! Magazine's claim that the ride and handling are comparable to Korean SUVs. But I already admit that the Trailblazer is miles ahead from the Montero kaya nga I'm excited for ours to finally arrive at our garage so that I could do a more objective comparison between the 2 competitors.

Oh really now OB.

[albert_b]

Compared to the SG, I think justifiable yung cost ng SF a/t na 1.7. You get a far better engine and all those other toys. What SG has better is seat number Ü then again one's a crossover and the other's a van, justification or reason to get for each is very different.

[albert_b]

Hehe exclusivity sir. Free na yon with the price tag ;-)

Wow great review...very unbiased

Numbah's just reporting his personal observations when he test drove the vehicle. Since it's really new, we don't have a lot of dealers offering test drives at the moment which is why rare ang mga reviews nito locally.

[numbah5]

Hmmm.. were you part of the trailblazer comparison video on youtube? :tvcomedy:

No. I did my review based on my personal observation. At may pinanggagalingan ako dahil current Montero Sport owner ako na madalas kong ginagamit since we bought it. Di mo ba nakita avatar ko?

Tama ka albert_b.

Hmm, seems like marami pa ring hindi bilib sa Chevy for manufacturing a good SUV. Ask James Deakin what is his thoughts sa Trailblazer, and he might answer you with the same thing as what I had posted. He had the vehicle for a longer time than I.

yeah, some people here are not believing you. Pero ibahin mo ako, I now trust your judgment kse talagang kitang-Kita dito enthusiasm mo - that alone is enough to convince me that you're not biased but only hyper Lang but still I am starting to nbelieve that this trailblazer might be a good car

Siyempre bias ako sa SF.

Pero at the end of the day. Ang makakadecide nyan yung bibili. MS, SF or Trailblazers are all good cars. Check mo kung saan ka comfortable, kasi ako mas sanay na ako sa hyundai in terms of network and maintenance. Sa mitsu at chevy wala. Ayoko din ang truck based because of the ride. Mas prefer ko din ang FWD (ayoko ko mag start ng Fwd vs rwd), personal preference ko lang. Not much use with 4x4 system.
