The deciding factor: Why I chose the Fortuner over the Montero sport

[noobskie]

It looks like a Navara with a campershell . Pero pinaikli lang unlike the Everest and Alterra. If you saw the rear, it's really really flat. Highly unlikely Nissan will bring it here, they don't even have production in Thailand. Hindi rin nila top priority etong ASEAN market kaya asa na lang tayo dyan.

if nissan will bring the pathfinder right now it will be the end of the story for fortuner and montero. but don't be alarmed nissan is known to bring outdated vehicles to the philippines. malamang year 2020 pa nila dalhin yong current pathfinder dito at sa taon na yan helicopter na ang uso.

I dont think so.. The Fortuner & Montero will still have their own share in the market..Lets see how the public will get to accept the upcoming Korean SUV/CUV's compared to the hot selling Japanese Branded Thailand Made SUV's..Outdated na siguro Pathfinder if ever they'll launch it, if not for its powerful 2.5 diesel engine..

On my experince the Montero accelerates faster but when the navara reaches its peak its good bye for the montero.. Montero will keep up until 195 km/h but it cant reach the navara at 220 km/h

Well the problem is will it be as cheap as the Montero and Fortuner? We have to remember that those two are Thailand SUV's so they are priced cheap. Pag dinala dito yung Pathfinder I am willing to bet at least P1.8M ito to P2M which is much more expensive that the Thailand made SUV's. The Pathfinder afterall is a first world, globally sold SUV. And the picture below says it all, first world na first world talaga!

actually there are gossips that they will introduce this model later in 2010 so tamang-tama na rin seguro yong time na palitan na natin si FE by 2011.

slow talaga ang navara sa acceleration because of it's gearing. but once it build up speed, nakakatakot

Sir JP, congrats on your new ride… I also like navara because it’s freaking fast . I have also drove my cousin’s navara …acceleration is superb..hehehe..speed adik din ako eh..


Share ko lang.I have just raced with my cousin’s 4x4 V fort last 3 days ago. We’ve planned it for a month I think kung where and when will it happen. kasi me and my cousin are always comparing our ride since we bought our monty last year..sana nag fort na lang daw kami..and there naisipan namin to test our rides. Parang mga bata no.First I thought he was just joking but then he called me last week. May venue na daw ng race namin.. Basta one of the provincial road here in Panay. It happened at around 3 in the morning para walang ibang sasakyan.. there, nagstart na kami .I was on the left side of the road so meaning nasa wrong side ako..after his 3rd beep arangkada na kami. From standstill I could say the fortuner is a bit quicker maybe because of its 65 kg weight lighter than monty. From 0-170kmh lamang siya sa akin almost half of his fort’s body,but not totally naiwan nya ako..at 180 kmh, nakalevel na ako sa kanya and then I’ve reached 190 kmh going to 195 dun na ako lumamang sa kanya maybe 5-7 meters edge ko..imagine, 195 kmh on provincial road..sa tingin ko lang ha,may ibubuga pa..hehehe..Good thing there were no other vehicles that time..Sarap ng feeling, sarap kasing hatawin....After that He told me that he only reached 185 kmh and speed limited daw at lamang naman siya sa arangkada and with so many alibis.hehehe..wala namang pustahan..He was really frustrated that time, I could see it on his face..hehehe..He asked me if we could race again and he’ll be using daw his secret weapon which is his navara. Ofcourse I refused..the outcome of the result is obvious naman diba...Both fort and monty are fast naman eh..based on my experience I could say that fortuner is a bit quicker but monty has a higher top speed. Maybe next time offroading naman..our house is just near the river lang..wawa naman ng SUVs namin…hehehe


Same tayo ng top speed sir, 195 kmh din.. I’ve already done it twice na. Maybe next time I am going to film it na if I have a chance and upload it on youtube..0-100 km/h pa lang na upload ko eh.

Isa ka rin palang speed freak like me Yup, i know the fortuner's acceleration is a bit quicker than the montero pero pag naka bwelo na yung monty " here i come fortuner & goodbye "

One of the reason why i also got the navara is because of its awesome HP & Torque .. 220 km/h for a pick up?

I want to try the navara vs the Korean santa fe & Grand Starex

santa fe can leave navara in acceleration but can catch up beyond 160. remember that santa fe weighs more than 2000 kgs with 150 hp engine. power to weight ratio is smaller compared to navara.

Sir speed limited po ata yung Fortuner at 180km/h. Actually all IMV vehicles are limited to 180 as far as I know. Even bigbigcar's review of the 2005 Fortuner V states that 180 is its limit so it just makes sense na a car running at 190 would be faster than a car running at 180.

in my everyday cruising going to work, mas dumadami na ang mga MS owners hehe. Kahapon na-outnumber ng MS ang Fort sa mga dinadaanan ko. Greenhills-San Juan.

ako if I have a budget, MS din kukunin ko kesa Fort hehehe.
