BATTLE OF THE NEW SUV's - All New Everest vs 2016 Montero vs 2016 Fortuner

[Trippin]

Shhh... don't let everyone else know that secret!

Indeed, PPVs are more form over function when it comes to cabin space compared to MPVs or vans.

Hell, I like the third row of the Avanza better than most PPV third rows.

It is why, if I'm in the market for a land yacht (which I am not, unfortunately), I'd get myself a Kia Carnival instead of any of these PPVs. Too bad CAC priced the Carnival out of the SUV competition recently (from 1.65M on the base model to 2M), would have been great for most pinoys the proper space for seven, the leisurely ride quality, diesel power and frugality. Its ride height is not for our flooded roads but you hardly see even the PPVs traverse river-esque streams.

Other downsides are for the price relative to PPVs it is too bare like ALL korean cars here (blame Hari & CAC), and upkeep is (probably, being korean) on the high side.

Huwag mo naman ikumpara yung mga PPV sa lumang Exped. Mas malaki talaga yun pero di matagtag. Maalala ko dati, yung 3rd row seat nun Exped ko detachable so ginagamit ko lang kung kakarga ako extra tao. Useful din yung detachable 3rd row seat kasi nagiging extra 2-seater sofa sa bahay.

yun na nga yun expedition parang wala lang walang paki sa 3rd row ni hindi nilagayan ng matinong silya, mahiga ka kung gusto mo sa likod haha. pero ngaun kasi parang lagi na lang concern 3rd row. ako nga eh 3 kotse ko may 3rd row seats, pag kino-llapse mo, amoy bago pa tapos di na kelangan i-leather treatment sa interior detial . pag may aangkas sakin lagi ko sinasabi ay naiwan ng dad ko yun golf set nya sa likod para lang umiwas sa angkas.

how come it's an issue kung kids and teenagers lang pede sumakay sa likod, eh pag lumaki mga anak na yan hihinge na ng sarile kotse sa magulang yan kasi hindi na cool kasama magulang sa gimmick.

It's a pity one observed common flaws of a car during the period of ownership that can be totally avoided..

That's the importance of test driving.. It's something one does before seriously considering owning a car..

in truth, even a test drive can only reveal so much.
many more observations come out of the woodwork, once the owner uses the car on a regular basis.

95% of SUV owners rarely uses the 3rd row...

Meron bang gumagamit ng 3rd row everyday? Maybe less than 5% of SUV buyers...

Unless nalang kung Pumapasada ka.... or you uses it sa AUV express or uber/Grab..

It have been a Van User for more than a decade...

You got lot of space... but how often will you use it?

If i have a driver and i want space. ill get a van...

But if you are the one driving and when it comes sa performance, ease of driving way better ang 4th Gen. Everest... ill choose SUV..

I agree... get a van if you have a driver.... but if you're going to drive it most of the time, you're better off with an SUV or CUV.

glenn is a true SUV owner talaga. we really dont care about the 3rd row. we just see it as a bonus kung meron man nakakabakit. It just so happenend that all PPVs have 3rd rows. Yun nga sa Fortuner ang pinaka nakakapikon ng 3rd row seat noon eh, yun fino-fold sa gilid, kung ako siguro meron nun pinatanggal ko yun.

the advantage of driving a SUV ergo a diesel and mid-size one in the Metro, is fulfilling enough na. besides, mabubwiset lang kayo mag-drive everyday with 7 passengers. ang hirap hirap linisin ng 3rd row lalo na kung may nagkain dun ng clover o potato chips. minsan makakalimutan mo pa, then after 5 months kung kelan gamiten mo ulit, bulok na yun chips dun kakainis yun mga kebigan na ganyan burara

meron pa nga one time, may nakisakay sa amin and 4 lang naman (double date) kami, gusto nya dun daw sila sa 3rd row ng gf nya. after that gmick, unfriend sa FB

I have only had the Exped as the vehicle with a 3rd row seat and I use it rarely. Only the 2nd row is being used most of the time.

Glenn is right about his point that the 3rd row is near to useless most of the time.

Is it true that the suspension parts of these PPVs are more durable than CUVs? Un ung argument ng dad ko eh.

Aside sa bonus na 3rd row seat na totoong bihira magagamit, another selling point ng mga PPVs is the suspension. Well-suited sa Philippine road condition na madami lubak. Tapos di ka pa masyado matakot sa baha.
