oo nga pala, problem with the mid size suv here in s.e. asia(monty, fort, tbz, and etc..) is the handling, yes- yes -yes like me coming from american and european suv s', despite their size they have a freakishly light steering that equates to better handling(also includes terrain hugging or grip)

hence put that into equation- the koreans are copying the euorpeans automobile manufacturing when it comes to handling but the fort, mu x, tbz, everest are built to withstand s.e. asian conditions hence rough suspension and handling- my opinion only- why- our roads are not that develop and are full of potholes- heck meron pothole sa pasay taft inersection 25 years na ata nandoon yun di pa ako marunong magdrive andoon na yun ang laki laki pa

only dowside of the sorento for me is it's fwd- car science has come a long way pero based on my experience hirap talaga umakyat ang fwd kaysa rwd - lamang lang ang fwd when it turns - maybe this is why the handling is much better?(sa new mercs and bmw the rear wheel also slightly turns when you turn your front wheel)
