Ford Everest A/T...

[5Speed]

Just wondering guys, maganda ba ang performance nang A/T variants ng Everest? di ba sloppy ang arangkada?

A friend of mine kase is thinking of buying a new ride for his growing family and an A/T is a must so that his wife can use it also. He's contemplating of buying an XUVi but hesitates a bit because of some owners complain regarding its auto tranny....

Any input from anyone who has driven one?

[OTEP]

I guess I would go for an Everest A/T for because the bad rep Ranger (which is identical to the Everest) manuals have nowadays.

I guess the more powerful (than the XUVi) Everest can get by with the A/T.

[5Speed]

otep...yup, thats what I told to my friend...their manual tranny maybe sluggish but the A/T may be better...besides everest have more power than XUVi less cabin noise than XUVi

besides everest has abs, airbags 7 seatbelts and other safety features that cannot be found in XUVi..

looks are subjective though.... but if I were to buy now, everest also for me....I think Ford casa has a better service than Izusu based on what I've read in here and in other forums...

well it is his choice and his money....just giving him a piece of advise...hehehe

[wowiesy]

ranger problem? i've been driving a ranger 4x4 since aug 2000.. ala naman ako gano napapansin na problems...

[caloyski5]

yup.ganda ng everest. plus its not an auv...pickup based siya(no offense to auv owners po) problem i think would be the ride..aircon naman hanggang third row pa..

[benchph1]

everest na - almost in every aspect its superior to the xuvi

[5Speed]

yes....as I've said, looks are subjective.... I do like the stand of the XUVi, its engine is very reliable, but that's all about it di ba? (no offense sa me mga XUV ha?) just a friendly comparison....hehehe yung mga toys and gadgets kasi internally is not much of a problem eh...madaling idagdag yon....like vcd player and monitors.....pero yung mga safety features eh medyo mahirap yata.....hehehe not to mention a quiet cabin of the everest and its inside space.....

well nabanggit ko na yan dun sa friend ko....

bahala na syang magdecide....hehehe

[kiper]

EVEREST..off-road machine!

[mbt]

ayus lang yang A/T... hindi naman mapapansin masyado yung performance difference ng matic sa manual in everyday driving and commuting.

mas madali pa i-off road yung matic hehehe

[5Speed]

mbt...yan ang di ko pa nasusubukan....ang mag-off road nang matic....wala kasi kaming matic na sasakyan...pero parang mas convenient nga...

well kung bibili ako nang bagong rig...siguro matic na rin....kakapagod nang magdrive ngayon sa stop and go situation eh...hehehe

syanga pala, pati pajero gen2.5 na matic eh napapagtripan na nung friend ko.... medyo ang pinagpipilian naman ngayon eh A/T na everest at yung Gen2.5 A/T pajero...hehehe

lalong gumulo at na-extend yung pagbili nang 2nd car nya....hehehe gawa ko raw....me nag-offer yata nang very sariwa pang Gen 2.5.....hehehe kaya ayun nahilong talilong na naman pagdecide....

kayo peeps alin ang pipiliin nyo?

[Ungas]

Dun na ko sa Paje 2.5 na matic. Mas may resale value sa local market kasi natin. Madaling ibenta kung sakaling magbago ang isip. :D

[5Speed]

hehehe naku...baka sugurin na ako non kapag sinabi ko yan....hehehe nag-no comment na lang kasi ako eh sabi ko na lang eh mukang nadagdagan yung budget mo ah......although on the back of my mind is a pajero is still a pajero no matter what.....parang may cult following na yan eh like other suvs.... tsaka proven na yan...hehehe...kung ako tatanungin eh yung pajero na, me sobra pa sa budget nya for other repairs/accessories....

hmmmm matawagan kaya, maisali kaya sa equation ang patrol at trooper.....hehehehe

wla pa kasing nagiging diesel ride yon, puro sedan...kaso 4 na ang anak nya so hindi na sila kasya...not to mention na me yaya pang kasama sa lakaran...ngayon gusto na nyang mag-switch sa diesel for economic reason....hehehehe and a matic XUV is the prime target....ginulo ko lang nang konti yung choices, ngayon eh kapag me nakikitang ibang ride tinatanong na sa akin.....hehehehee

[luckytruck]

second the motion ako sa gen 2.5 na pajero. no contest yan na decision.

i have a gen 2 pajero that i will not replace with an AUV, kahit brand new.

Yes..Who wouldn't go for the Pajero versus the AUV's..It got all the advantages over the Crosswind, un nga lang masmahal..

Kung meron pa syang makitang Patrol, Trooper or Land Cruiser..masmaganda.

[5Speed]

teka, di ba nasa SUV category rin ang Everest?

[kiper]

Oo.

[luckytruck]

the ford everest might be an SUV, but it is not in the same class as the gen 2.5 pajero, trooper, nor the patrol, in my opinion. ang land cruiser naman, cguro gas version lang nag papasok sa budget (orig lhd)

magkano b ang budget? a low mileage gen 2.5 pajer can be found for 1.1 million or even less. financing will still be available since most of them are less than 5 years old. and banks like to finance the pajero kasi ang taas ng resale value.

[5Speed]

hehehe update ko lang po....

outlander ang kinuha nung friend ko.... gulat nga ako eh.....tumingin yata sila nang slightly used gen 2.5 na pajero tapos nakita ni wifey nya yung outlander tapos binigyan sila nung officer nang offer daw na mahirap talikuran tapos na-inlove yata si wifey dun sa outlander kasi kakaiba raw ang porma, ayun, the rest is history.....

hmmm teka, nalimutan kong itanong kung ano ang kondisyon nung paje at magkano....

[luckytruck]

talagang nakakaiba ang porma/itsura ng outlander.

now if that is a good or bad things, nasa inyo na yan

hehehehehehe

I think may 5-year installment plan ang Ford sa Everest. Total price would be around P1.5M (compared to P1.1M ata if cash).

Do you think it is worth toget the installment option even if you have the money to pay cash?
