4x4 Fortuner or 2010 Mitsubishi 3.2 dsl or Nissan Super safari 3.0 Dsl

[3bn5]

We can't decide yet what car to buy.. We like the design of the fortuner infact we have it but we want to sell it and buy a new one again but we also try to think of another suv.. Mitsu Pajero but we dont like the design especially the front and for the nissan patrol we like the design but it's to big..please give us advice what suv to buy in these 3 choices which has better performance, comfort, good for offroad and onroad..tnx

What's your budget? Since you picked the Patrol, then I'm sure its at the 2-3M range, am I right? Then I'd still suggest you get the Pajero as it gives the most value for money as it qualifies for the JPEPA tax cut. Then again, there's the Toyota Prado. The 3.0 diesel fails to qualify but the 4.0V6 gas does and if fuel efficiency does not matter to you then go for it. And also, I would suggest you look up the Korean offerings as well. The Hyundai Veracruz (unibody chassis) and Kia Mohave (ladder frame chassis) both offer 3.0V6 diesel engines which are way better than all those you've mentioned. Then there's the Jeep Commander 3.0CRD V6, which is worth considering as well since it combines great off road capability and the power and thriftiness of a V6 diesel.

Yes, my budget is 2-3M. I like the size of the suv's that I've mentioned but the problem with veracruz,mohave, sorento it looks small and not so attractive to look unlike with the patrol, pajero, fortuner it looks big and attractive...but i can't decide yet what to buy whether the latest fortuner, pajero or nissan super safari..And with this suv it has good offroad capability

I'd get the Pajero in a heart beat, it ain't too big like the patrol and it certainly rides better than a fortuner. The interior also feels ... well just right

[3bn5]

yeah.. i really like pajero interior and its comfort but the problem is that i dont like the face but the side and the back with tires i like it..the face really makes the pajero ugly..but it is still one of my choice because of it's performance

[locoroco777]

Sir if I may also suggest.....since 2 to 3m yung budget nyo....try checking out the 3.0 CRD jeep commander....

[3bn5]

Yeah..Nice ang Jeep commander pero ang problem kasi nito parts, maintenance and other things kasi nasa cebu ako..wala kasi jeep showroom at service center dito..so hindi ma casa maintained.. Meron advantage each pero i guess i will go for pajero or super safari

[Gerbo]

Performance and comfort alone. Matimbang na. Hayaan mo na lang yon makasalubong mo magcomment sa mukha ng sasakyan.

The Sorento is smaller than the Verzcruz and the Veracruz is smaller than the Mohave. You should see how big the Mohave actually is! I like these more than the Pajero because when you drive the Pajero, which has the same engine as the Montero Sport, it doesn't have more performance as another car costing one million pesos less. With the Veracruz and Mohave, keeping up with European SUVs are no sweat. :devil:

[Starex_Gold]

IMHO eye catcher din yung Veracruz at Mohave.. Kung di ka ignorant

Kung ako, Pajero 3.2 DiD agad. Yung Dubai Version in Pearl White color please!

Or Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 VX.L Dubai Version.

Pajero, which has the same engine as the Montero Sport

Kung local version oo. Mas mabagal pa nga ata yung Pajero kasi mas mabigat.

Pero kung Dubai Version, hindi. AFAIK 197HP yung Pajero GLS Dubai Version..

[GTi]

197hp na ba talaga ang mga pinapasok dito na Dubai Pajeros? Yung mga nakikita kong ads ng mga Dubai Pajero 170hp parin ang nakasulat. Has anyone driven it? Any noticeable differences? Kapag yang local Pajero kasi... 165hp and may 4WD payan kaya mabigat... Pareho lang kaya ang performance sa Trooper natin? And you were always complaining that the Trooper is slow, eh di Pajero slow din? Kaya dun ako sa Veracruz/Mohave.

[Starex_Gold]

Hindi ako sigurado dun sa 197HP ah.. Nabasa ko lang yung kung saan-saan dito sa tsikot

Pareho lang kaya ang performance sa Trooper natin? And you were always complaining that the Trooper is slow, eh di Pajero slow din?

I don't remember any post(s) na nagreklamo akong mabagal ang Trooper.. :hit:

Kung sanay ka mag drive ng R-eVGT, mabagal na lahat ng diesel. Yan ang napapansin ko ngayon.

[number001]

Among your choices, rumor has it that the Fortuner is receiving yet another facelift this year and will receive a completely new body by 2013.

The Patrol Y61 is quite old and its driving dynamics is really more suitable to rutted provincial roads than city roads.

The Pajero is nice outside but personally I don't like the seats inside. They are too soft, that sitting gives one a feeling of sinking.

I'll just get the locally sourced from TMPI, Prado 4.9 V6 Dual VVT-i. This fits your budget of < Php 3M

Haha! Actually ang sinabi mo sanay ka na sa ReVGT kaya feeling mo mabagal ang Trooper. But still... since sanay ka sa ReVGT, mabagal din ang Pajero.

[edricdude]

why not consider the Nissan Armada and as the others said, the Toyota Prado. Both of them look reaaaalllyyy good!

and what you said about the Mohave being small, it's bigger than the Fortuner, which in my opinion looks horrid.

[GTi]

If I were to get a Dubai or American unit, it would have to have a local counterpart for easy access to parts. If it were all Japanese, I'd get a Prado V6 for the power and offroad capability. Otherwise, I'd settle for the Veracruz which in truth is actually quite big but hides its bulk well. And I find it to resemble the Lexus RX. The power of that car will bring huge smiles to your face! Nothing beats diesel efficiency and power in V6 form!

[3bn5]

nice ba ang kia mohave sa offroad?ang resale value nito is it good?Kasi kia eh, din hindi quality ang mga lumang kia like pride,avella and even sportage which is very prone to overheating and other noisyvibration/parts.Kasi when who speak toyota,mitsubishi,nissan..the name itself speaks.kasi brand ng car nagabigay din ng prestige eh..... Ok lang ba ang latest na pajero?or montero na lang kaysa sa pajero na same engine lang sila..confusing na kasi.

[GTi]

As for these questions, it would also help if you look up the reviews on these Korean vehicles both here and abroad. I've read one by C-Magazine and they liked the Mohave a lot save for the fact that it has a speed limiter at 190 (like most Kia cars) while the Veracruz doesn't (said to have been able to reach 240). The Mohave has traditional ladder frame suspension, so off road capability should be quite good, especially with so much torque.

[Starex_Gold]

AFAIK mas maganda performance ng Mohave sa VeraCruz.

Himala may bnew na VeraCruz pa akong nakita. Sa Hyundai Lipa. Siguro super old stock na yun. Yung tipong late 2008 pa andun Color white pala. Di na ako naka daan para itanong kung magkano discount eh. Ganda pa naman..

[3bn5]

yeah..but the kia mohave doesnt look attractive. 1M+ fortuner and montero sport looks expensive and class than the kia mohave but kia mohave has really good engine but i guess my choices remans in pajero , patrol or fortuner 4x4.. i cant really decide
