Tbz for me as I have one myself and was choosing between the Santa Fe and the tbs as well originally. But with the newer engine, the decision becomes a no brainer. Am very happy with mine.

March 17th, 2014 08:56 PM #2This is the problem when we only have few choices left because we only have few models to choose from here in Pinas. Why don't they bring in other quality brands and make those models/brands more affordable?... Just thinking...

March 17th, 2014 11:17 PM #3The Philippines has a smaller car buyers market compared with our ASEAN neighbors. We also entertain second hand units so the smaller market, then we have limited manufacturing plants here and lastly we have left hand drive when most have right hand drive orientation in our area.

March 17th, 2014 11:35 PM #4The used car market is a red herring. Buyers of secondhand used are not the type who would typically buy brand new. The philosophy is different.
Also, it was only a problem (back when those imports were legal) because of misdeclaration at customs. Simply apply a tax based on local taxes for the same model (or similar), force converters to use original parts and proper conversion kits, and the market for these cars would have thinned out to those looking to collect odd cars.

RE: Noise: The TB is nice and quiet. The Montero, until now, is a whistling, whooshing, clattering and very obvious example of turbodiesel power.
