    Now that I don't have it maintained there and buy from Mazford and Fordland... guess what? Parts cost just the same as anything else.

    It's very model dependent. The Focus has pricey parts because it's a new model and Euro-market... the Lynx, Ranger and Eve have reasonably priced parts... and... surprisingly... electronics for the US-made SUVs don't cost all that much compared to similar parts for other vehicles.

    The Montero Sport is the only ladder frame in the class that's actually comfortable. Full stop. Both the Everest and Fortuner make too many compromises in ride to ensure on-road and off-road manners... whereas the Montero focuses more on a smooth ride than good handling. It has more understeer than either Everest or Fortuner, but it doesn't roll, sway or judder as much over broken pavement.

    The Santa Fe is the only seven seater that's better (of course, it's more expensive). The Captiva is a bit stiff-legged (like our CR-V) and has more understeer than a bus, while the Sorento is incredibly soft and bouncy.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Guess, I'll have to settle with the Montero then. Hopefully, they would be able to market upgrades for the Montero's butt.
