Toyota Fortuner vs. 2008 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

[JJCarEnthusiast]

*JJ: when my lola was in cebu for her checkup ayaw nya sumakay sa fort, she'd rather ride the taxi daw kasi she feels like her back daw was being hammered.

tsk tsk my God you shouldn't get your grandmom riding a fort. sa ms ok na yan and oh congrats on your upcomming ride.

^plus add mo pa na marami talagang Fortuner sa daan na di mo alam kung sa iyo yung nasa kalsada o hinde. Ang magkakaiba lang ay yung plate # saka kung may nilagay kang accessories sa fort mo.

For me, sa MS ako. Sa price, mas mura siya kaysa sa fort. Yung lower variant ng MS ay almost same features sa highest variant ng fort and mas cheaper pa. Sa suspension, no contest ang Fort. Di ko kayang tumagal sa 3rd row ng fort kasi nakakahilo. Sa engine, mas proven ang 4m41 kasi wala pang major problems na nakikita (wala pa namang sticky thread tulad ng D-4D problems).

Sa porma lang lamang ng konti ang Fort, maganda rin sa paningin ko ang MS (mukhang macho version ng lumang Montero because of the curves).

agree.

WTH.


you know, sometimes, we should look on the car, not the brand. kasi kung ang brand titignan, jan nagsisimula ang mga problems eh.

thats very true. I bought the fort out of curiousity din kc eh kc nga matibay daw toyota, etc.. it was my first and last toyota

before the fort been using my dads old pajero...

after using the fort for a while... noticed their difference and the fort was way behind a mile..

talaga lang, ang lambot kaya ng suspension ng pajero. ako nga nagsasawa na sa lambot try ko kaya fort for a change? :hysterical:

Tagal naman ilabas ng 2.5L montero sport...

[xTrememan]

at mukhang mas mahaba and mas maluwag ang 3rd row ng MS and cheaper too for a 4X4 GLS at 1.5M. pag labas ng 2.5 4X2 malamang may m/t na.

Agree ako dito! Kahit pa siguro naunang lumabas ang bagong MS kesa Fortuner mas pipiliin ko pa din ang MS... HEHE!

Its so easy now to bash the Fortuner. I agree it comes up short in a lot of areas esp. its a very much hype at its launch.

The reason why it sold well is its market positioning at that time. Its intriguing design, commendable price, and the Toyota brand stacked up good against the FM Pajero which is the most popular SUV prior to it.

Going back, for a price difference of 100,000 from a Ford Escape you can have a 7-seater mid-size SUV na (the 2.7 VVTI Fortuner).

Between the 1st-gen 4x2 Everest and the 2.5 D4D, most chosed the latter because of the porma factor, the brand, and the resale value.

The 3.0L Fortuner is a better value vehicle than the Fieldmaster at 4x4 pa.

So its a no-brainer, people flock to the Fortuner.

Mitsubishi learned from it and, of course have to address the shortcomings, otherwise it would be no contest. And we are now beginning to see that the Montero Sport II is mechanically a more superior vehicle.

im a very satisfied owner of toyota fortuner facelifted

for me hndi cya matagtag, ( iba namin car expe and bmw325 ) kya nacompare ko.

ung nasa decision stage p lng ako nakita ko ung montero sport mas maliit ung loob nya, and ung likod nya parang fuzion ( ayaw na ayaw ko itsura ng fuzion) minsan hawig pa ung rear sa ford escape. and hndi pa talaga cya tested kac bago lng hndi tulad ng fortuner tagtag lng problema ng iba ( madali naman palitan ang shocks and suspension for me)
ngayon pa lng may naririnig na ako, meron na daw lumalabas na problem sa strada

strada and montero sport same platform ( gnaya lng nla toyota)
strada and montero sport made in thailand din ( same as fortuner and hilux)

and natakot din ako sa mitsubishi feeling ko pajero lng sumisikat sa kanila
marami na silang nilabas na kotse na hndi sumikat as of yr 2000

bago pa lng montero sport, cguro after a year makakarinig na tyo ng feedback sa montero sport before ko masabi na more superior vehicle, magrereflect naman cguro yan sa sales and kung mas madalas na natin makita ms the fort
