EXAMPLE:
Category 4x2 AT
1. Power - MONTERO due to lightweight and high output engine
2. Safety - EVEREST with solid body and tons of safety features. Highest wading depth as well.
3. Fuel consumption/efficiency - MONTERO. Again lightweight and low compression engine. Gained incentives from thailand due to notable NOX emmission
4. Space - EVEREST. Not only in dimension but I feel by seating inside this offers the most space among the 3.
5. Ride comfort - MONTERO. although this is the only one I test driven among the 3, I was really impressed. It is close to riding a car. Huge difference from previous gen Montero or Fortuner
6. NVH - EVEREST. Was able to ride with enginie running during a display. I think the solid body and materials inside insulated noise better than Montero.
7. Handling - MONTERO. Easier to drive than previous gen. Maybe because that truck feel was less.
8. Features - MONTERO. I find the features more practical and useful for me.
9. Maintenance cost - FORTUNER. Well this is hands down Toyota.
10. Reliability - EVEREST. I agree we need time to assess reliability since Fortuner and Montero are still very fresh
11. Interior overall (looks, quality, feel, lights etc..) - FORTUNER. The design feels luxurious inside for me and neat as well
12. Exterior overall (looks, quality, lights etc..) - FORTUNER REAR. MONTERO FRONT.
13. Price - MONTERO. Since they have been giving at least 100k discounts for the past 4 months or longer I think.
14. Parts availability - FORTUNER. Again Toyota everywhere.

lets do this
