Yun yung mahirap, eh... sana manalo tayo sa lotto...


Para makabili ng isang luxury car... at isa pang Crosswind.

Aww... Too bad, you could've checked out the other offerings in the market like the SF and Sorento. If you don't like diesels, they do have gas engines and 6 speed transmissions for better FC.

hi sir,

im not here to offend MS owners i decided to get the crv instead based sa mahaba na thread regarding issues with the montero ive seen here in tsikot. thats all. peace

You based your decision on one thread here. You are having a laugh. you dont even know if all the posters here are who they say they are. The MS is the best selling SUV in The PI. By this alone; there are more owners so in turn the potential of more problem but not necessary percentage wise as another less popular vehicle. Of course the CRV is not an SUV but more of a crossover.

I was interested in buying one, but because its really a softroader together with the fact that it is not available with the superb Honda diesel engine put me off.

Also there will be an all new CR-V in the coming year.

The Honda is a nice car, and both my brothers have them in Europe. One is Petrol the other diesel. The reason the younger one bought Gasoline enigine was because the diesel did not come in Auto (it does now).

proud monty owner here for 2 years and 3 months now, so far so good..

kahit 1 month palang namin nagagamit yung monty hanep 170kph easyng easy..Fuel consumption matipid! porma

dito nga mga naka fortuner nagmontero e hehehe

and iba talaga dating ng montero SUV talaga..
no offense sa CRV owners para kang bumili ng mataas na Civic

[Starex_Gold]

Eh yung mga ASX naman parang bumili ng mataas na Lancer

I tried comparing the looks of my past FD and my CR-V, hindi naman sila magkamukha hehehe, we bought the CR-V for comfort, it turns out na hindi pala talaga, matagtag din. hahaha. CR-V is not a higher Civic IMHO..

BTW, Honda CR-V is a CUV, nagkakamali lang siguro yung iba.. Hindi talaga SUV ang CR-V, CUV siya. Montero Sport is a SUV.

Tsikoteers, Thank you all for your comments.

We currently have a 2001 honda city MT and a 1999mitsubishi eclipse AT.

Based on my personal experience the honda city has not given me any problems at all until now it still runs great. tune up, wipers and break pads lang regular kong pinapalitan, besides that wala akong reklamo.

Our eclipse on the other hand which my mother acquired brand new in 1999 started having alot of serious issues after only 3yrs. replaced alternator, regular overheating, door handles became brittle and broke off, thud sound when shifting, sqeeking noises on with steering wheel and suspension. Some of these issues gets fixed but re-appears again eventually. A few common issues i have pointed out apparently still appear on the MS based on what i have read here sa tsikot.

Of course, i was very dissapointed since i already paid a reservation fee with Mitsubishi for the montero, i do not want to go through the same ordeal with our eclipse. I know that a sedan is completely different from an SUV but bottom line is they are of the same manufacturer.

Also phoned a friend who owns a montero and asked how his unit is doing after 9months na sa kanya. his feedback is so far so good naman raw but he does hear some squeeking with steering wheel and medyo may amoy raw aircon but he doesnt mind naman raw. hehe for me, malaking factor na kc yan.

I am simply sharing my personal experience comparing both brands. I hope my opinion also helps other people who has the same dilemma i had before deciding to go for the CRV or Montero.

i strongly agree that the MS is more gwapo and macho but the biggest factor for me is what happens in the next few years.

kaya maraming montero owners ngaun kasi nga akala na parang status quo ang montero sport

it's a mitsu like the ever popular pajero

it's bigger, higher at mukang durable

somehow it gives an essence of power to the owner or whatever that is. Most owners I know today came from the corolla/civic generation

use it for 5 years, ewan ko lang kung hindi sumuko driver owner kaka-drive nyan. by that time, sobrang congested pa siguro lalo Metro Manila

but of course, depende na din yun sa weight mo. sa sobrang stressful i-drive, i'm sure overweight nadin ang driver in 5 years kakakain to compensate the driving. so parang justified na din kelangan ng malaking montero

[Ventoy]

For me I'll go for Montero Sports for the price mas sulit na yung Montero compaired to CRV......

nope hindi sa looks... kasi ung CRV parang Sedan lang 5 seater lang ata.. ang sedan is 5 seater din diba? kasi kami 5 sa family kaya kailangan ng mas malaki sakto yung montero samin ayaw na namin sa fortuner kasi ambagal at matagtag..

[Starex_Gold]

Yep, 5 seater lang. Pati lahat ng CUV, except for the Captiva.

Of course if you're a family of 5, kailangan mo talaga ng extra space and seats, kung sakali may sasabay pa o marami ang gamit.

Though the CR-V has a decent space naman, roomier than the Tucson.

Wala na rin naman tayo magagawa eh, kahit humaba ang discussion, nakabili na si TS. Alangan naman ibalik niya yung CR-V at bumili ng Montero Sport..

hahaha oo nga pero ako happy na ko dun sa monty
kasi yun yung napaniginipan ko noon WHITE montero
saktong sakto samin.. kasi dapat red yung unit e hindi naisakay sa carrier nila kaya yung white ang kinuha

[renzo_d10]

no offense sa CRV owners para kang bumili ng mataas na Civic

Sayang ... kung sinabi mo na " no offense sa ASX owners, para kang bumili ng mataas na Lancer " .. eh, magaagree na sana ako kev ng 1M times. Nyahahaha. :rofl:

[eggman]

Laki kaya ng pinagkaiba ng CRV at Civic.. Yung ASX ay para talagang Lancer Sportback na medyo mataas ang ride height!

[jimnyeatworld]

tingen ko nga mas advantage pa pag sinabi na CRV is like a big civic. like for example, ngaun dami ko pinalitan sa CRV gen1 ko, di ko akalain marami parts nag-share ang cRV sa EK, like trail arm busings, gauge bulbs and i think the entire gauge for that matter, other bushings as well as yun front stab links ata

sa dami ng meron EK, eh di parts replacement ko ngaun nasa presyong sedan lang, hindi SUV price na tutubuan kapa pag nalaman naka-CRV ka

am not sure with the 3rd gen CRV , pero tingin dami parts sine-share eto sa sa FD


hay sarap na nakakatipid ng sobrang sa car maint/expenses, ibig sabihin nagagastos mo pa sa ibang paraan

and it's still a Honda.

nun kayamanan days ko noon i bought CRV 4x4 in 99 then bought Strada 4x4 in 00. syempre tingen ko mas latest, mas malaki mas hi-tech, mas mahal pero laki disappointment ko when i bought the strada kahit interior amenities walang panama sa CRV noon. i also get to drive a
Fieldmaster after I got a strada noon, kala ko naman kung ano hi-tech sa loob. tangke pala sa hirap

yan ang perception ko sa Mitsubishi, it's a workhorse farm animal, you can never go wrong vehicle. yun na nga lang pag farmer / boyscout ka and i'm not that type, i'm urban sophisticated eh. malaki ang importansya ng stress free sa'kin kahit yun driving conditions lang


kung nakakaproblema ngaun Strada / Montero sa mga squeaking problems. the answer is obvious: they trying desperately to get the best of both worlds in the car: rural farm and urban city. parang Myphone, may TV, may dual sim, may cellphone, may MP3. result: a smorgasboard of feature na nagkakaproblema internally

hindi sa LOOKS kundi sa Purpose ano purpose ng CRV kung 5 seater lang.. pwede ka bumili ng Civic mas ok pa as i said earlier from my post 5 kami sa family kaya di pwede samin yung crv para lang kaming bumili ng sedan..
may sedan at pickup na kami pagginagamit namin sa byahe ang hirap kasi ung sedan maliit.. at yung pickup masikip lalo pagmay gamit wala pa kaming cover sa likod.. perfect na perfect yung montero samin.. maluwag hindi matagtag.. and minsan pag bbyahe kami may sumasama na 2 or 3 tingin niyo kasya 8 sa crv ng hindi siksikan? + may mga bagahe pa
inuulit ko po.. HINDI SA LOOKS KUNDI SA PURPOSE EHEM

[kevin3000]

And CRV is CUV at MONTERO is SUV.. para kang nagcompare ng Laptop sa Notebook pareho silang may pros and cons.. like sa laptop malaki pero kompleto sa notebook handy .. pero hindi siya tulad ng laptop na kompleto.. ganun lang yun and hindi lahat ng Cars ay perfect kahit Bilin mo Ferrari may mas Mabilis at mas Mahal pa
