    We can't decide yet what car to buy.. We like the design of the fortuner infact we have it but we want to sell it and buy a new one again but we also try to think of another suv.. Mitsu Pajero but we dont like the design especially the front and for the nissan patrol we like the design but it's to big..please give us advice what suv to buy in these 3 choices which has better performance, comfort, good for offroad and onroad..tnx

    What's your budget? Since you picked the Patrol, then I'm sure its at the 2-3M range, am I right? Then I'd still suggest you get the Pajero as it gives the most value for money as it qualifies for the JPEPA tax cut. Then again, there's the Toyota Prado. The 3.0 diesel fails to qualify but the 4.0V6 gas does and if fuel efficiency does not matter to you then go for it. And also, I would suggest you look up the Korean offerings as well. The Hyundai Veracruz (unibody chassis) and Kia Mohave (ladder frame chassis) both offer 3.0V6 diesel engines which are way better than all those you've mentioned. Then there's the Jeep Commander 3.0CRD V6, which is worth considering as well since it combines great off road capability and the power and thriftiness of a V6 diesel.

    Yes, my budget is 2-3M. I like the size of the suv's that I've mentioned but the problem with veracruz,mohave, sorento it looks small and not so attractive to look unlike with the patrol, pajero, fortuner it looks big and attractive...but i can't decide yet what to buy whether the latest fortuner, pajero or nissan super safari..And with this suv it has good offroad capability

    I'd get the Pajero in a heart beat, it ain't too big like the patrol and it certainly rides better than a fortuner. The interior also feels ... well just right

    Performance and comfort alone. Matimbang na. Hayaan mo na lang yon makasalubong mo magcomment sa mukha ng sasakyan.

    The Sorento is smaller than the Verzcruz and the Veracruz is smaller than the Mohave. You should see how big the Mohave actually is! I like these more than the Pajero because when you drive the Pajero, which has the same engine as the Montero Sport, it doesn't have more performance as another car costing one million pesos less. With the Veracruz and Mohave, keeping up with European SUVs are no sweat. :devil:

    IMHO eye catcher din yung Veracruz at Mohave.. Kung di ka ignorant

    Kung ako, Pajero 3.2 DiD agad. Yung Dubai Version in Pearl White color please!

    Or Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 VX.L Dubai Version.

    Kung local version oo. Mas mabagal pa nga ata yung Pajero kasi mas mabigat.

    Pero kung Dubai Version, hindi. AFAIK 197HP yung Pajero GLS Dubai Version..

    197hp na ba talaga ang mga pinapasok dito na Dubai Pajeros? Yung mga nakikita kong ads ng mga Dubai Pajero 170hp parin ang nakasulat. Has anyone driven it? Any noticeable differences? Kapag yang local Pajero kasi... 165hp and may 4WD payan kaya mabigat... Pareho lang kaya ang performance sa Trooper natin? And you were always complaining that the Trooper is slow, eh di Pajero slow din? Kaya dun ako sa Veracruz/Mohave.

    Among your choices, rumor has it that the Fortuner is receiving yet another facelift this year and will receive a completely new body by 2013.

    The Patrol Y61 is quite old and its driving dynamics is really more suitable to rutted provincial roads than city roads.

    The Pajero is nice outside but personally I don't like the seats inside. They are too soft, that sitting gives one a feeling of sinking.

    I'll just get the locally sourced from TMPI, Prado 4.9 V6 Dual VVT-i. This fits your budget of < Php 3M

    Yeah..Nice ang Jeep commander pero ang problem kasi nito parts, maintenance and other things kasi nasa cebu ako..wala kasi jeep showroom at service center dito..so hindi ma casa maintained.. Meron advantage each pero i guess i will go for pajero or super safari

4x4 Fortuner or 2010 Mitsubishi 3.2 dsl or Nissan Super safari 3.0 Dsl
