FORTUNER 4x2 G 2.5 Dsl A/T WP or Montero Sport GLS V 2.5D 2WD AT: Which one's better?

**dmadness** · June 11th, 2013 10:41 AM

I'm a woman and currently driving a sedan. I am planning to buy an SUV. Thing is, I don't know which one's better. I need your opinion, guys. It would be of great help for me to decide on what to purchase. I need pros and cons for both units. Thank you. XOXO

my aunt is driving a 4x4 Montero Sport GTV. in fact it is their second MS unit coming from their previous 4x2. I don't know why they don't consider a Fort, maybe in paper, MS is better. With regards to the compartment at the back, i like the way MS fold the 3rd row seats, nice and flat on the floor. Soon I'll be able to compare those 2 units on a Driver's perspective as we're getting a 4x2 Fortuner Dsl AT. I used to drove the MS GTV and it's good IMO.

** I hear a lot of positive/negative feedback from both units. But when it comes to speed, the MS is way faster compared to the Fort daw. When it comes to the engine, the MS is too loud while the Fort is a bit silent in comparison. Value for money? I really am confused with these two cars.

well, you can't go wrong with any of the two. your choice will be in a matter of preference. I see lots of both cars on our roads today, i think that serves as a proof that they are both good value for money SUVs. For me, i like the Fortuner over the montero because of its more Macho/Masculine look aside from we don't want to have the same model with my aunt. Engines of both are very capable to do the job (i will primarily use it as my service going to work everyday). So speed is not really a problem for us.

and you might want to ask other tsikoteers here regarding the ride quality, i think MS is better in this aspect.

Matagtag ang Fort mas komportable ang MS

**I get that a lot.. been hearing issues about the Fort being matagtag. As for the MS, maingay naman daw makina and mausok.

** I like the way Fortuner looks because of the masculine feel in it. I haven't test driven the MS though.. I wanna know if it would live up to what people say.. that it's fast. Enjoy your new ride by the way, jCRN.

yes mas mabilis talaga, pero yung mga VNT ,makikipag sabayan na sa VGT kahit paano. Kung automatic vs automatic luge yung fortuner , 4 speed lang . Pero for me FORTUNER ang pipillin ko because gwapo talaga ang looks, lalo na upgraded na ang engine hindi na feeling underpower ang A/T 2.5 d4d ;)

maganda rin naman ang monty ,kaya kahit ano piliin sa dalawa hindi talo, iba lang talaga dating ng fortuner para sakin ;)

** I guess I have to test drive the Fort nalang. If same drive sila ng Hilux since we have one at home (are they ba?), then probably I can compare it na with the Monty.

go for the fortuner para the same brand with your hilux at sa iisang casa ka lang magpa PMS. baka maka-discount ka pa ng malaki at makakuha ng mga freebies from Toyota niyan.

pero kung gusto mo maiba naman ang driving experience mo, go for MS
