Bwahaha... Your brother has a very strange sense of humor. The old 2.5 Everest would be almost as slow as the Crosswind, but only if it's AT and 4x4. There's nothing slower than the Crosswind... I've timed myself from a stop (no tire squealing) to 100 km/h in about 30-40 seconds. And that's with our manual Crosswind. :hysterical:

The new Everest 2.5 is hands down faster than an Innova. The Innova is much quicker than older AUVs, but driving the MT 2.5 D4D Innova is like driving a 1.6 gasoline sedan. The Everest is more like a 2.0. Massive kick of torque and acceleration that only gets better as it gets closer to redline.

There's that tiny bit of lag while the VGT changes profiles and the electronic throttle kicks in, but that's it. The Crosswind is more responsive to sudden throttle inputs than either the Innova or the Everest, but that "kick" lasts for just a second, and then it's gone.

The only other 2.5 diesel that has as much top-end punch as the Everest is the 2.5 CRDi in the Starex.

In terms of ride comfort, the Everest still isn't the best there is, but it's actually comparable to an Innova now... not like the old one, which was only marginally better than the Fortuner.

hehehe pakitaan mo nga ng timing sheets and 0-60 times niky para macovince mga tao just how torquey and fast the duratorqs are

Guys, for the peeps in the south, Ford alabang txted me na naka-display daw yung Everest sa Filinvest Mall march 12-18,2007. For your Info.

Ford Alabang Service is okey. NO problems with them, infact their service is better that Nissan Westgate, Honda Alabang. (based on our experience); Last note : HOnda-Alabang is really improving na, sana tuloy-tuloy na.

Honda Alabang? There's a hope. Sana lagyan din nila ng screen ang fence sa service area nila. Last time we picked up a car there, there was a cat sleeping in the engine compartment...

Saan ang display? I was there yesterday, but I didn't go into the center of the mall.

NIky, nasa center mall yata. I have'nt checked it myself.

..things i just found out...
1.) the no participation is not from the insurance, but rather just a certification from the casa, meaning only if you have the car fix in that particular casa.
2.) the "acts of God" is not included in the policy, again just a certification from the casa.
3.) 20,000 discounted extended warranty also includes a contract that you get the insurance from the casa for the duration of the warranty, meaning 5 years. according to the guy in charge of insurance (I still have to confirm this though with the manager)
4.) Extended warranty is only honored in the casa where you bought your car.

anyway I found all this out after I got the car...I felt somewhat cheated on this part. So I'd advise you clear all this up before getting the extended warranty, or buying the insurance.

First Impressions:
1.) Macho Car, I guess this is the best way to describe it. Built ford tough! I parked it beside a sante fe, and despite sante fe's good looks I think the everest is still more of a all terrain vehicle.
2.) Roomy
3.) Ride is better than the crosswind, but second row seats and third is bouncier than the innova. the front seats are quite comfortable.
4.) Poor sound system
5.) One keyless remote! (they told me an extra one would cost about 3500..this is stupid!)
6.) Love how the 2nd row fold down for access to third, getting to the 3rd row is way easier than the innova or crosswind.
7.) 2.5 engine is already very powerful..a bit slow on the first gear, but I find that not pushing the pedal to the floor at start but rather somewhat right timing of pressing and releasing for it to shift faster...btw i got the AT kasi.
8.) the steering feels nice, very responsive for the size of car
9.) interior materials is just ok, floor carpet looks a bit cheap, hate the biege color, I still think they should have made it gray.

I'm looking for leather seats now, I wonder how gray seats would look on the car? ..anyway anybody know a good supplier? Thanks

yvess188,

The extended Warranty is accepted in all authorized ford dealers nationwide.

niloloko ka ng dealer mo para nakatali ka sa in house insurance nila.
