OT:Meron kaya lang gray market lang imported galing korea. Mas maganda suspension kesa sa Fortuner IMO though pag malalalim na uka ng daan, kailangan slow down ka pero pagloaded naman, okay na okay. Medyo mahirap na kumuha nyan lately.

[maop99]

wow meron ha hehe how much naman apexi? Thanks

[apexi_66]

wow meron ha hehe how much naman apexi? Thanks

Sorry pal, di ko rin alam ang exact price. Dinig ko before 1.3M may nagsabi 1.5M. Tanong mo na lang kaya sa HANS Motors kasi may nakita ako noon may sticker nila. OT na tayo magagalit na moderator sa atin

[mazdamazda]

for the price of 1m+, the fortuner is definitely a good buy, i mean if u have the money to spend, then go for the bmw's x3 or x5, even volvo's xc90. for those who try to compare the fortuner to kia sorento.... ok lang kayo? kahit papano ang fortuner is toyota made, while sorento is kia made, its your choice! baka naman mahirapan kayo sa mga parts ng kia later on

brand bias eh?

some of the awards that the Sorento has won over the years:

Edmund's Most Wanted SUV Under $25,000 (2004)
4x4 of the Year Award in UK (2003)
MotorWeek's Drivers' Choice Award for Best Midsize SUV (2003)
JD Powers Top Award for Quality
Truck Trend: Best in Class (2004)
Diesel Car Magazine: Diesel Car of the Year (2003)

Lets not turn this into diesel vs diesel by each of the company, although this will favor isuzu and its not a myth... But this is not based on the surplus engines that the 80s generation of jeepneys and buses have, dahil sila lang ang widely available surplus noon, pero dahil sa reliability ng engine nila. We had 10 jeepneys before, 6 having isuzu and 4 having the 4DR series of mitsu and both of them were reliable performers but mitsus diesel bogged down earlier (and frequently) than that of the isuzus.

Regarding diesel experience/technology, toyota has hino, mitsubishi always had Fuso, and nissan has, well, nissan diesel and isuzu have isuzu, kaya technology wise, walang maiiwanan.

OT na ako...
Zpurs, i suggest you try them both, both drivers and passengers point of view. Not sure about Sorento but my uncle who had several generations of pajero and land cruisers opted to skip the gen3 pajero and latest prado says a lot (not saying that this SUVs are not good, medyo mataas ang price range nila), and he had his for over 2 years now and no complaints.

Kaya IMO , dapat it should be the other way around, why compare Sorento sa Fortuner? Okay lang ba sila? Anong awards ba meron ang Fortuner to support his performance and reliability? Yang kapirasong logo ...peace

thanks guys..pa test drive ko na lang ng kapatid ko yong fortuner tsaka alterra ..but difinitely kailangan ko nang 4x4 sa province namin..pangit ang road kasi at yong may malaking space for bagahi..my mom do a lot of groceries in the city for her restaurant..an layo din ng city kaya yong fuel efficient din na car ang kailangan ko..i think its alterra..but pa test drive ko mona ng otol ko yong dalawa..thanks guys..keep feedbacks coming..thanks

Sir kung pang harabas at pang kargada pala purpose mo, I'd go for leaf springs. Mas matibay to maski puno ng pasahero at cargo; idaan mo pa sa puro lubak or rough road.

Just think of the cargo jeeps from the provinces going to Manila. Now this is not comparing those vehicles from Alterra or Fortuner. Syempre malayo. What I'm saying is just think of the durability with comfort on the leaf springs-equipped vehicle.

Meron na po. 2006 model with woodgrain panels daw sabi ng agent ko. Isuzu invited some press people to test the new 4x4 going up and down on all terrain in Pinatubo about 2 months ago.

thanks tol..at least may idea na ako what car that is suited to us

[bilog]

hehehehehe, ibahin na thread title:

fortuner v. alterra v. sorento

change the title of this thread na nga... tutal may sorento owner na O.T. lang.

Let's get it on!!!

[simpsonseclaire]

I think performance wise maganda ang Fortuner,
but I think Toyota had a problem on quality underneath this Fortuner.

The 3.0 D4D engine is relieable in terms of "power" but have issues dealing with diesel here in the Philippines or maybe the engine is really not ready for public consumption.

A lot have bought the Fortuner because of its low price considering it a 4X4 and the name/manufacturer has always been a trusted company!

Let's face it, overall Fortuner is not a good buy!
