Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Montero or Hyundai Santa Fe

[renzo_d10]

If you don't really need the extra 2-3 seats that the Santa Fe offers, then I'd take the Sonata. I was hoping that you'll get the Premium variant though. The added perks is really a plus. If you can't afford it, then I'd still go with the Sorento instead. In Java Brown please.

I inquired at Diamond Motors Valle Verde, Pasig City branch. Actually if you look at the brochure that they gave for the Montero Sport GLS-V it says "security alarm (dealer option) and back-up sensor (dealer option). When you look at the back of the brochure for the specifications, the following are dealer options -- multimedia and information system, security alarm, reverse sensors and steering wheel audio control. So I asked the salesman. He said that the security alarm and back up sensors are add ons to the price of P1,408,000.

appreciate the advises. i double checked sa mitsubishi, you're right included ang alarm and back up sensors. binola lang ata ako ng duty salesman. i'll try and inquire with other dealers as well since they also have different quotes sa insurance and chattel.

Can you endorse me to your citimotors dealer/salesman? Would appreciate it. Right now kasi, i'm considering more on the "big bang for the buck" as you have mentioned. So i'll do a bit more canvassing on different dealers including with Kia and Hyundai.

Don't really need the extra seats kasi hanggang three lang naman ang nakasakay. SUV consideration was more on the fact that we have so many flooded streets. The 2011 Sonata kasi I heard is bestselling in the USA. And it really looks nice. So between Sta Fe and Sonata which are the same price, di ba Sonata na? Kasi Sta Fe nga is due for a face lift probably in six months?

Face lift was done last year, 2010.

Wait for the new generation, maybe mid 2012.

So considering that the new generation sta fe will come out mid 2012, would you still recommend buying the present sta fe? One thing i noticed, when you look under the hood, ang linis tingnan ng hyundai vehicles, you don't see any exposed wires. Not the case sa mitsubishi and toyota vehicles. Kung baga sa interior design, yung engine compartment looks well organized and constructed sa hyundai vehicles. Sa nakita kong mitsubishi montero sport, dami wires naka expose.

Pardon my use of words. When i said face lift, i meant a chance of body, just like what happened to the tucson. Am I right to assume that the face lift you mentioned for the sta fe in 2010 was only a minor change? but not the whole body right? So the next generation sta fe in 2012 would be a totally different sta fe just like the tucson right?

[Starex_Gold]

Yes. The current Santa Fe is still advisable. Good purchase parin sya.

Pero sa choices mo I'd go for the Sonata Premium.

Yes. Face lift is just a minor model change.

All new generation yung lalabas sa 2012.

Why do you keep bumping this thread? It causes people to think there it a relevant new post in this thread.

for me all three cars are good each one of them has their own special performance and appeal to the people it depends on how they see each car . the sta fe is fast and refined even as a front wheel drive car based except 4x4 or awd. as for the other two rear wheel drives strong and durable such as the fortuner and montero sport their designs are nice and yes even the fortuner is tag tag as they say it is strong and durable and is powerful the montero is a good suv and accelerates good its a good car because a lot of people buy it now a days which is a fact and same for the 2 in my humble opinion sana medyo linowered and monty sport so it will look a bit more furiouse and not too tall and sa front litaw ang mga springs and coil and certain part of the suspension.

so in performance wise the sta fe is fast even its fwd or 4x4 awd for a advance engine like that imagine 4 cylinders lang yun kasi nabasa ko ehe . correct me if im wrong can produce such power and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 10 seconds plus or less depende syempre . and laki ng car fwd pa diba and rides more like a sedan since its structure and suspension is different from the 2 cars BUT in offroading it can be a little bit slippy especially in muddy and rocky terrains.but its a good car talaga kasi even medyo mabigat sa bulsa people buy it. you can tell pag maganda ang car pag marami bumibili kahit mahal siya pero lets considers the other factors also.

fortuner is a big heavy strong suv and sells also like hot cakes A RWD suv accelerates fast and matibay pero medyo rough and bumpy ang ride pero thats not too much to bother or be a major problem except pag mabaho and nakakahilo ang air freshener syempre thats a big nono going back to the topic its a nice fair and a affordable suv for value and money. fast when fast the gas version is quite silent and less bumpy smooth din ang ride its all about choice and factors din. but its a very good ride.

montero sport is cool handsome car yes its quite appealing to the public eye and buyers kasi ang dami eh in the roads homes and else wear. my comment about this suv it handles nice and fast din softy like the strada and a bit bumby sa certain roads because correct me if im wrong again ehe its from a strada or born from the strada so strada based siya kaya its a nice car a rwd though should be a bit lower in the rear and sa front sana tinago a bit yung mga suspensions and srings kasi medyo litaw pero no problem ehe anyway ofroading capabilities quite good and in road handles well di ako sure sa gtv and vts or what ever ehe walana me alam sa mga yun all i can say its a good car and i would personaly buy this also pero syempre its a choice. kung i have lots off money i would buy all three. ehe


anyway sa gas not sure sta fe its engine refined and can save gas and good perfomance should be a contender .
the montero doesent look like it eats lots of gas a good choice also
the fortuner for me looks strong and heavy but toyota off course makes fine engines so it would not hurt you pocket so much. ehe
all three are best

I LOVE ALL THREE CARS BUT OF COURSE there should be a winner pero its not for me to decide its up to you guys bastat agree ako in all three pero sta fe more one euro styling siya now adays kasi medyo like it or not nag level up siya especialy the dual exhaust adds a sports car audi or benz like appeal. adds points also eheh share lang sana and fort and monty meron din anyway im sorry kung may wrong spelling or grammar or errors and mistakes tao lang Good luck po sainyo .
