[bosjef]

Wow! bilis ng mga reply.

Thanks guys, Very informative and these are exactly what I need especially istan's explanation.

Looks like im settling for the Everest though Montero Sport has the modern pogi looks and power, I like the rear door of the Everest.. hehe

One last thing.. any cons you might wanna let me know about the Everest? Baka lang may mga namiss-out ako na importante pala.

This I can attest to. Sobrang lamig talaga ng A/C ng Everest. I have been in a 2007 Everest, and in a 2011 Everest LTD. and both had ice cold A/C. So far, the car than can be at par with it siguro yung Grandia palang.

Anyway, cons? Lakas ng body roll and matagtag. Yun lang naman especially if di ka naman speed junkie.

ok sakin ang malamig ang A/C pero hindi kaya malakas ang kain sa fuel dahil dun?
Thanks for mentioning matagtag. indi nmn ako magmamabilis pero i will frequent parts of Cagayan valley where hindi sementado at medyo maputik pag tagulan . nadadaanan nmn na ng mga malalakas na jeep kaya mukhang enough lang si Everest. hopefully.. kasi mahal ang 4x4 version nito.. hehe ..

I see... Baka gusto mo makakuha ng slightly used Everest 4x4 para talagang safe ka. Yung mga 1-2 year old units are still very new and have already gone through the initial depreciation kaya makakasulit ka. The 4x2 Everest should be OK off road thanks to a good LSD. Unpaved roads are not a problem, although the muddy parts maybe you should try to avoid lalo na yung malalim na mud. A relative of mine who lives in Baguio once told me that the big jeepneys in the mountainous areas ay ginawa nilang 4x4 na kaya kayang kaya lahat ng terrain, its also the main choice of commuting transport available to miners in the Benguet area.

Yup, malamig talaga. though di ako nalalamigan sa grandia but still, malamig nga talaga.

with the Eve, minimal body roll lang compared with the Fort and monty.

Yup, malamig talaga. though di ako nalalamigan sa grandia but still, malamig nga talaga.

Or baka kasi naka-super black lang yung grandia na nasakyan ko? :hysterical:

Di pa ako nakaka-sakay sa Montero, eh. Pero sa Fort, oo. Ayus lang naman although 3.0V siya.

Re sa terrain na hindi cemented, kakayanin yan ng Everest.

Medyo matagtag ang Everest due to the leaf spring rear suspension like the one in your Adventure, and then combined with large rims which makes the ride worse due to less rubber and more metal in the wheels. The Montero Sport has the best ride among the three. Also, the 3rd row seats lack headrests, so it'll be a bit uncomfortable for them. But then, due to the Everest's added length over its competitors, they get more legroom.

Sir mararamdaman mo lang yung tagtag at high speeds correct? at 80kph tingin nyo po ramdam na yun as compared to the MS?

Mararamdaman mo siya sir if dumaan ka sa uneven roads. For example, some portions of EDSA.

Not really. Mararamdaman mo ang tagtag mostly in rough roads. Sa high speeds in the highway siguro you will feel the tagtag kung hindi level ang kalsada, pero hindi naman too much. Yung parang slight boat-ish feeling. Overall, ride quality though not as good as the others, shouldn't be too harsh to the point of being truck-like, especially if you are used to the ride quality of AUVs like the Adventure and Crosswind.

Montero na lang for riding comfort.

[bosjef]

niconsider ko rin talaga yang Montero sir. pero ayoko lng nung pintuan sa likod. tsaka sobrang dami na yata ng MS. yung byahe ko sa NLEX kanina binabaretahan ko yung mga umovertake na SUV options ko for one hour (bored lng.. hehehe). 22 na furtuner, 18 na Montero sport and 6 na Everest.

[reactor]

IMO riding comfort montero ka pero kung ang hanap mo ay flexibility you cant go wrong with everest. comfort (spacious), safety (wide solid big body) at cool ac matibay pa pati pang ilalim at makina

on second thought. baka hindi umoovertake mga everest kasi ayaw matagtag... LOL

[TholitzReloaded]

I have an Everest 2011, satisfied with the performance in terms of speed di ka rin mahuhuli, medyo matagtag nga lang pero kung loaded di naman masyado, ang maganda pa maluwag talaga sya.

Everest 2011 Bone stock.

Also check out this video also taken by Tsikoteer GO1:

This one's a Strada 3.2 chasing an Everest in mountain roads. You will notice na napakatulin niya, and the body does not sway a lot in turns, otherwise typical of a ladder frame vehicle.
