Kung ako ang magpili, given your choices:

Hyundai SantaFe ---- 2nd choice
Kia Sorento -------- 1st choice
Mitsubishi Montero Sports ---- 3rd choice
Toyota Fortuner ----- Last choice

Assuming diesel model lahat, and all lastest model nila

i'd get the Sta Fe or Sportage, the only advantage of the MS and fortuner over the Sta Fe/sportage is ground clearance and off road capabilities but every thing else the StaFe/sorento wins for me.

edit ko para mas clear

here are the advantages of stafe/sportage and ms/fortuner over each other:

stafe/sportage: performance, quiet engine, features, interior look, leg room, seats.

ms/fortuner: ground clearance, off road capabilities, probably maintenance in the long run since it has less features than stafe/sportage.

looks will depend on the buyer, for me the MS ang pinaka pogi but i'd still buy the stafe over it simply because it is much better. fc won't have a huge difference between all 4.

Sa Montero Sport ako.

I'm generally wary towards common-rail diesels, but at least the MS engine is based on the 4D56 platform (that is, assuming na 2.5L variant ang nasa choices mo).

Sorento ako. Then Santa Fe then Fortuner then Montero.

The first two are superb when it comes to speed and acceleration, mainly because of it's modern engines ( r/-evgt ) ... and, the ride is really plush unlike the other two, quite bouncy.

However, the remaining two aren't that suck-ish `cause the higher ground clearance is really advantageous and it has more off-road capabilities than the other two.

At the end it boils down to your preference and needs.

Sorento kapag diesel sya pero given di madali kumuha ng diesel nyan, sa Santa Fe ka na lang... Ayaw ko lang sa SF medyo luma na din... Pero yung makina modern na modern... Montero Sport pag 4X2 sya ang pangit ng interior, yung aircon dials nya parang yung 90's na Pizza Pie Lancer ko...

Check mo na lang yung mga previous thread.. daming ng discussion nya.. Tignan mo kung sino ang common choices.. SF and Sorento..

Depends on use:

Sta Fe/Sportage = Mainly for city and some rough road trips
Montero/FOrtuner = For offroading and some major chassis flexing

Susundan ko itong thread na ito, we share the same dilemma. Looking at buying an SUV din by December, and we have the same choices. For a long time, Montero type ko, kasi macho at para kang naka Pajero na rin. However, MS is so plentiful na on the road that I feel its no longer "exclusive." Pati daming mga issues sa kanya.

Lately, I'm liking the looks of the new Sorento. Couple with the fact that the tech is better and there is more kit. Yun nga lang, I'm thinking what is the long term durability of the Sorento? I know that 5 years ang warranty niya, but I don't plan to have it maintained sa casa after the first 5K so the warranty is not appealing to me (too many horror stories with Casa, I don't trust them).

Plus the Sorento is more expensive in the 7 seater version. P1.7M against MS 1.4M.

My max budget naman is P1.5M. Sagad na yun.
