Haven't ridden in the Montero Sport but I have ridden in the Fortuner. 1st row is fine, but in the expense of the 2nd row which has limited legroom and even headroom due to the aircon vents and if three full size males sit there it gets pretty tight. And the 3rd row... never mind.
In comparison parang ang luwag tuloy ng 2nd row ng Trooper namin, ang laki ng legroom and the hair doesn't touch the ceiling unlike in the Fortuner (5"11 ako), although front row legroom is admittedly not as good. Stay away from the Fortuner, Dubai Pajero VGT nalang o kaya Hyundai Veracruz.
Or none of the above? We've had Ferraris and Lambos burn in SLEX and NLEX in the Philippines...
