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.

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

(75% sports mode/panay upak)

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)

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

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

Mas madali imaneuver ang mas maliit lalo sa city at mga parking.

Comfort, unang-una na yung smart keyless entry & push engine start, at mas komportable rin ako sa gas.

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?

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

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....
