Mitsu Montero

[seonadancing]

I searched the forum and didn't find anything about the Mitsubishi Montero. Can anybody give any feedback about the car. My borther is thinking of buying because there's a diesel variant, but what other car do u think is comparable to the Montero. He prefers a diesel SUV. Thanks. 1.5M pala yun Montero brand new.


Sorry I saw the comparison thread na for Montero. Thanks anyway.

May diesel na pala na Montero? I thought it's only available in Gas.

Personally, I like this SUV. Masikip lang legroom for a guy my size though.

The Montero is basically the US version Pajero... and there's no diesel version of that if it's a true-blue Montero IMO.

[russpogi]

*vinj - Oo nga pala! What I have in mind was the Montero Sport. Not the one based on the Pajero/Montero platfrom. Sorry po.

*seonadancing -sir, are you refering to the Montero as in the Pajero/Montero based platfrom? Or the Montero Sport? Nalito kse ako eh!

[OTEP]

I think he is referring to the Montero Sport. The only diesel Montero you can get would have to come from Spain.

And a fullsize Montero costs significantly more than Php1.5M

The Monty Sport thread is also in the Diesel Forum.

Yeah Montero Sport. Buti napigilan ko yun bayaw ko in buying a diesel fortuner. He is now leaning on the Montero sport kaso ngayon pinag tatalunan yun kulay. I voted for white, my dad prefers black, and my bro is thinking of silver.

Black basta maalaga sa paint....Pero ok din ang white!!

[Syuryuken]

Wala bang MT ang Montero?

Nalito ako bossing, so merong available na Monty Sport diesel dito sa Pinas?

Yes that's true, may diesel ang montero. We happen to own a Mitsubishi Montero na diesel (not sport variant but the one na mukhang Pajero with flared sides), we got it brand new way back in 2000 pero yung itsura nya kamukha pa din ng ibang bagong pajero na nakikita ko sa ibang Mitsubishi showroom, siguro difference lang sa front grills ng konti pero di pansin

i think you are better off with the fortuner than the montero sport, its aging, its very old, and its engine too is very very old and slow its just the fieldmaster in different clothing

you cant go wrong with the fortuner its way better than the montero in every aspect

russpogi : yup merong availble na montero sport here in the philippines matagal na it has the 2.8l 4d56 engine of the old fieldmaster

sir,
my cousin has a fortuner and (no offense to fortuner owners) the inside of innova G's are beter-looking. if you take a look at the gauges of the innnova and the fortuner, pareho lang, except that meron nilagay na parang cups sa fortuner na nakakalito tuloy basahin ung gauges. the touches of silver plastic don't look so good. beige is "dumihin" and the sound systems of toyotas are the poorest.
we have a montero sport and although the "style" has been around some time, it still looks good. black leather interior. black marble effects. cluster gauges. alpine sound system. and the tested 4m40 engine, same as the Q pajeros. speed is not an issue coz i'm able to go 150+ in star toll. acceleration is not bad. i guess maybe it's lighter than the pajero.
i've driven the fortuner and i would say mas matagtag ang fortuner. montero sport 4wd is 1.5M while the fortuner 4wd is (i think) 1.8M.
of course, the fortuner seats more people, but the 3rd row is not good at all. better get an innova if you want space.
i will concede na mas maganda ang outside ng fortuner sa montero sport, so if your priority is external looks, go for fortuner. i guess i care more about the inside, coz i'm the one looking at it. opinion ko lang po

I like the Montero Sport as it borders on being over-engineered. The only thing keeping costs down is the relative age of the platform. But hey, you're still getting a brand new vehicle.

Bulletproof engine, bulletproof tranny, idiot-proof underpinnings. Unless you really like to be 'in', the Monty Sport will serve most needs very well. As for being slow, a Fortuner 2.5d4d makes approximately 20 horses less.

The Fortuner is also built with more cost considerations.

you cant go wrong with the fortuner

It's pretty hard to go wrong with a Monty Sport either since almost all issues with the model has been resolved in its almost 10 years of production.

[oliver1013]

Kahit luma na ang montero sport pogi parin sakin!! Bagsak sakin ngayon ang reputasyon ng fortuner. Between montero sport and fortuner? No questions asked. Montero agad.

[Bogeyman]

Syempre Montero Sport na. Para sa akin mas porma pa rin siya, kahit luma na yung design.

For some reason, I don't like the Fortuner's rather tall-looking stance; parang madaling tutumba pag hinipan ng hangin. Same thing with the Prado. And besides, considering what Toyota dealers did to jack up the Fortuner's value (such obscene pricing for an entry-level SUV), sobrang na-turn off na ako.

[jonski]

Sta. Fe nalang. nakakit ako kanina at ganda pala talaga nagiisip ako kung yon kunin ng sasakyan para sa family or yung Explorer...OT

[OTEP]

The Sta. Fe is also a viable alternative. 7 seats, dual air. Gives up ruggedness for comfort and sophistication. Just check what the vehicle will be used for.

[oldblue]

kung play-safe ka talaga, mag-montero ka. kumbaga sa mga software bugs and fixes, solb na solb na ang tsikot na'to.

[russpogi]

Maganda rin ang Sta. Fe! I don't like the Fortuner for one reason alone: Takot ako sa carjack!
