Grabe ang mamahal na ng mga PPV na ito. Breaching 2M na tapos tatawagin lang PPV hahaha.![]()
Every car enthusiast talks about the engine and its power and how relatively fast it can accelerate.
The old generation forts/everests were sluggish. The newer ones have improved engines hence a good topic for these new breed.
Even the mazda2 can out accelerate most of these. Its still a good topic though.
A good "drive" means alot of things and speed is one aspect.
Handling and braking are just as important. Power is nothing without control (Pirelli Tyre Company).
Would having too much electronics be a bad thing? Kasi thinking about it, the Eve has so many goodies Pero baka naman masakit sa ulo pag na yari electronics nya. Is that a thing to worry about?
i suppose not really. pinag-isipan naman yan ng mga designer.
while some owners are happy with an owner jeep with transistor radio as entertainment center, others will want the mostest with the latest.
but there is a saying... if you want nothing to go wrong with it, K.I.S.S.***
***keep it simple, stupid.
heh heh.
napikon kasi nung sinabing underpowered yung muX, which after all was referring to the older 2.5 with 136 hp. pati yung naka 3.0 na bago with 163 hp e napikon din. e totoo naman na 136 hp yung 2.5 na model. compare that to the 150 hp of the 2.4 fort, 181 hp of the 2.5 montero and 160 hp of the 2.2 everest. e ang hirap naman pala magsabi ng totoo at aawayin ka.
popcorn pa more!
Teka may nag aaway nanaman ba based on paper specs (since not all you mentioned are already here yet and tested first hand)?
Both the everest 2.2 and mux 2.5 are underpowered kung ako tatanungin. We have both in our office. In fact drag times are the same. Lol.
Parang mas powerful pa rin nga yung fortuner vnt ko. Sobra naman sa tagtag hehe.
Power madali lang yan. Kabit ko lang dpchip and the mux becomes a 400nm ppv. Ang problema, driveability somewhat suffers kasi medyo may kaunting usok.
while i also like my all new Monty, my other Daily Drive Kia Sorento is even faster in the acceleration dept. (might be same top speed though) sayang di na new kaya di nakasali sa Comparo dito :-)
autoindustriya lists the top speed of the montero sport at 180 kph. i have read somewhere in this forum kaya ng 200+ kph, i just don't know if this is actual experience or pure speculation.
i've tried the 2012 sorento (pre-speed limiter model) to 211 kph, pedal to the metal. kaya pa siguro to above 215-220 kph but i had to breathe na, my balls were in my throat kasi. mas magaang ang sorento sa MS and more power, so i doubt if they will have the same top speed.
