I'd get the Monty if I were you. Bnew eh, much better in maintenance for a few years and if properly taken car of, no worries for a long time vs a car with maintenance concern already. Plus the engine of a CRDI is tough to beat in performance and fuel efficiency IMO.
Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

I`d get the Land Cruiser, so far its one of my favorite LC's.
Rugged looks + superb space is really unbeatable.

If you'll use it for recreation purposes only, go for the LC. But if it will be your everyday car, get the Montero.

May 14th, 2011 02:25 PM #6Do you plan on going off road often and also tag along lots of people and stuff? If so then get the LC80. Its not very fast or thrifty nor does it look very good but for that purpose it should do very well. Otherwise, get the Montero.

OT: ewan ko kung bakit deds na deds ako dito, eto ka na lang kaya, montero sport 2001
ahem, sir for what purpose po ba, city driving or for any other heavy duty purposes? my review for the LC are, it is low-maintenance than the CRDI powered montero, cheap spare parts than the modern spare parts for the new SUV like monty and fort as what my friend said w/c also owned a LC, it is more spacious, enough legroom for the passenger, enough room for cargo, power--hmm, well I thinks it is enough becaus AFAIK it is powered by a 4.2 L I6 1HD diesel turbo but there's also a big thing that montero has, 2.5 engine CRDi equipped plus a VGT(modern technicalities) --here is it : the new 2.5 VGT montero output is 177 hp and 350nm torque (manual with 400nm) while the LC is Output is 162 hp (121 kW) at 3600rpm with 267 ft·lbf (361 N·m) of torque at 1400 rpm. 15 horses are the differences (tama ba, boplaks ako sa math e). hmm...it depends upon on you.
if you want to be classy pick the LC, if you want to be practical I bet for the montero
planning to keep it for 15yrs just done 10,000 km already replaced the transfer case fluid w/...
