**jermey79** · September 21st, 2012 06:57 PM

Guys need help in deciding wheather I go for the ASX or The Montero. Please give me the advantages and disadvantages my primary use is for city driving and some out of town trips. My budget is up to 1.5 I will just go with a MT tnx noob here !

i would go for montero. mas practical sya. especially kung yung out of trips mo e yung malulubak or muddy. at lalong lalo na para sa baha sa metro manila. 7 seater din, malay mo kailanganin mo rin. almost same price lang sila for non-vgt e. pero kung may 7 seater SUV ka na, asx na lang

i dont know the exact figures for asx. but montero is diesel and asx is gas. mas tipid kada punta sa gas stations :D

I have both.

Montero - daily driver/pang harabas
ASX - weekend warrior/coding car

Midsize SUV vs CUV. Unique din trip mo compare a.

7 vs 5 seater, diesel vs gas....
Thai vs Jap made...

Asx - bilang sa kalye.
Montero - mala ondoy sa dami. LOL

Ilan ba kayo pag out of town?
(I have a family w/ a total of 4-members pero mas pinili ko ASX because of everyday use, comfort, convinience, safety, agility, simplicity...)

I dont need yet montero or the like because of its ride height, 9yrs old yung youngest ko at mahihirapan sa pag sakay at pag-baba.
Mas madali imaneuver ang mas maliit lalo sa city at mga parking.
Safety, in a sense na hindi mainit sa mata, less popular.
Comfort, unang-una na yung smart keyless entry & push engine start, at mas komportable rin ako sa gas.

Finally, sort out at I-balance mo lang yung needs mo, then make a checklist para makita mo kung alin ang mas advantage, & select what you really need!

biased ako ha.

pareho kme ni mrs me gas allowance from our respective employers - kaya wala sa isip mag tipid gaso. not convertible to cash kasi kaya gamitin!

Asx 5-6kmL /city 9-10km/hiway
Monty 6-7kmL/city 9-12kmL/hiway

(75% sports mode/panay upak)

**jermey79** · September 25th, 2012 02:00 PM

So very minimal difference lang pla sa FC! based sa ride quality ano mas maganda pag out of town un ang major concern ko! car namin kasi avanza kaya gusto namin mag upgrade!

Minimal diff kasi same drivin habits. Haha, pls dnt quote me on this or treat my fc as the worst you can get.ü

Ride comfort sa ASX syempre compared sa monty. 2 lang kme ni mrs kasi and expecting a baby boy by the end of the year. (Add a maid/yaya soon)

The "solid" feel and power for long drives gets my vote for monty.

AT/MT on the Montero?

CVT/MT on the ASX?

Yes? I'm not sure what you call it -- but while driving the monty, usually nasa manual (+/-) mode ako and kapag relax driving i switch to "D".

For ASX by habit nasa "D" ako - and whenever trip ko magmanual pinipitik ko lan yun paddle shift (changes to "manual"). Pressing the "+" for 2secs (or na-traffic) changes back to "D" mode.

This is what im referring to, sorry if misleading. By experience i believe with this way of driving - it affects FC.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

*TS, nga pala my rides are

Monty '11 GLS-V (4x2 AT)
ASX '12 GLS (4x2 AT)

**niky** · September 26th, 2012 11:07 AM

The latter lang. Just wanted to make sure both were automatic transmission variants.

;)

sir sky, diba mas maganda pang daily ride yung asx dahil mas madali i-drive sabi nga ni sir noel? at mas mainam pang weekend car yung monty?

**jermey79** · September 26th, 2012 05:46 PM

i would probably get the Asx based on your feedbacks. I am still saving up for the downpayment hopefully before the year ends.

**jermey79** · September 26th, 2012 05:48 PM

Ask ko lang how much usually PMS ! and recommended upgrades!

**skybison** · September 26th, 2012 06:54 PM

Yes mas comfortable i-drive ang ASX ramdam mo lalo na sa steering. Mas gusto ni mrs i drive kesa sa monty, lam mo naman mga gerl mag drive... lalo na sa parking. Hahaha!
Mas maliit, less problem on parking. Û

Pms naman, 2.7k pa lang odo ng asx, so 1k pms pa lang natitikman nya. 3k+ gastos ko.

On mods naman. You may check our Asx thread.
Pareho kasi tayo with lancer ng engine 4B11 tuned lang asx to a higher torque (daw coz of the heavier body).

If i recall Ghosthunter's setup:
- gt-a wheels
- headers
- unichip (ecu piggyback?)
- bigbrakes
* pending is MIVEC retuning....

**Jakespeed800** · October 3rd, 2012 09:36 PM

If what you are after is comfort, go with the asx but if fuel economy- montero mt.
