    Sir Niky,

    This is for a clarification lang po, correct me if I'm wrong.

    If I remember correctly Sir, somebody mentioned here that the transmission will adopt your driving techniques for a period of time. IMHO, incase na yung unit na ginamit for drive test is slow responsive in changing gear, probably yung huling nagdrive test is ganun siya magmaneho. This is why it is better to test for a little bit longer just to compensate that the transmission will adopt your driving techniques.

    Have a good day po..
    bro, kung ang issue eh ung adoptation ng a/t sa driving style natin, eh cguro naman bago nila gnawa ung acceleration time ng mga sasakyan eh adjusted na ung transmission sa driving style ng mga testers, if im not mistaken it takes a week para matest nila ng maiigi at makapagbigay ng accurate review, although hindi man 100% at least close to reality ung mailalabas nila sa motoring public.

    Agree Bro, kaya nga sabi ko pakiclarify. I watch some Ausie and Indian reviewer ng Endeavor which is the same as Everest dito sa atin, sa umpisa nga medyo di maganda ang response sa arangkada ang AT. Pero habang tumatagal na ginamit within a week sa review period nila, eh nagiba raw ang response base dun sa driving style ng reviewer. So meaning yung mga Test Drive na within 30mins is not enough to compensate the adoptive transmission. Kaya sabi ng iba di responsive, sabi naman ng iba ang gaan at mabilis umarangkada.. Kaya mix perception ang nangyayari..

    From my point of view Mu-x and trailblazer offers the best space for the 2nd and 3rd seat occupant
    1.MUX/TRAILBLAZER
    2.Fortuner
    3.Everest
    4.Montero - the 3rd row parang awkward yung seat eh ``
    I didn't test drive any SUV when we bought the MUX 3.0, I only check out the new PPVs after we bought the latter since Im hunting for a car for Harabs purposes that can accomodate 7 people and has a bigger luggage space than the MUX. I think the Fortuner gets my vote for my harabas purpose since the G manual isn't too bare like the Everest. The downside is that the fortuner G has only the 2.4 gd engine compared to it's little brother the Innova offered with the detuned 2.8 gd engine that is available in all of it's variant =)
