Looking to buy a 4x2 Manual Mid-sized SUV

**shans_wizard** · November 1st, 2011 06:32 PM

Alright, now we already removed Toyota Fortuner from the list (because its the biggest and it is also the most expensive to maintain, my mom also didn't quite liked the Back exterior of Fort)

Sorry for branding Sportivo as an SUV. We really don't put a big emphasis whether the car is SUV or AUV as it almost looks the same and the sizes are also no different.

My final choices
1.) Montero Sport (black) -Topnotch, stunning looks, safety features, more powerful engine?
2.) Sportivo (black) - Smaller, cheaper, less maintenance cost

Last question na lang po talaga, is it easy to maneuver a Montero sport? Hindi po ba mabigat dalhin because of its size and weight?

Between the Montero and the Sportivo, I'd give the Montero the win on dexterity, comfortable ride for its size, and competitive fuel consumption. Oh, don't forget the high resale value.

Montero na... It is, at least, a modern and competent vehicle with a good array of safety features and a good engine. Pag-isipan mo if you buy a Sportivo, its like buying a pimped up Revo on stilts.

It may be a good thing or not, depending on you.

He's pretty happy with it and thinks he actually made a better choice than his originally planned Sportivo or Tucson.

Di nga mainit sa mata baka mag suffer ka naman sa low quality

Pero for your choices i'll go for the montero din. Just check the horsepower, walang sinabi sportivo. Parehong diesel. But we have acrosswind 2008. Wala ako masabi sa reliability. Kung saan saan namin dinala parang chinachallenge ka pa na gamitin mo ng gamitin. You just have to settle nga lang sa mahinang acceleration.

Matagal na rin naman strada/MS at hindi magiging best-seller yan if mahinag klase. Mas matibay nga lang sportivo IMO.

nandito pala si lolo ry_tore.
hello po lolo.
btw we have sportivo,ok naman siya tipid sa crudo at mura pms.
kung ako papipiliin sa choices mo,
alam na MS talaga ako.
Layo kaya agwat ng xwind sa MS isa pa overpriced ang isuzu kaya mag MS ka nlng.
btw ano pinili mo ts?

Hindi Isuzu ang magaling, meron din mga uninformed at tamad mag-research na Pinoys. Not that Isuzu produce bad vehicles, it's just that the pricing for the Crosswind & I-van is a crime!
