Exactly sir ha ha ha. Kaya merong artificial shortage coz isuzu knows they dont have competitors in that market segment. The price of the new everest base model is within the range of LSA already.

Jacob, are you from marikina? 2.5 ba yang nakuha mo or 3.0? Reason I asked is there's another Mux owner kanina nung nagpapacarwash ako sa Marikina area. Same color as yours. Pero I think its a 2.5 na pinalagyan ng DRL and tailpipe finisher din

Comfort and space is one of the aces of the Mux. Engine is kinda lazy and wants to be driven at a relaxed pace. Kung okay sayo ito (its not built for speed anyway), the mux will fit your needs. Re fortuner, the current one has better acceleration and power on demand. But it the mux will catch it on long stretches. Engine is kinda noisy for me too upon initial revs.

Thank u sir djerms. I can feel you na how it rides cause u had first hand info regarding this vehicles. Pero sir sa last statement mo anung vehicle ang ibig mo sabihin na noisy upon initial revs? Sa manual ba sir ma feel mo angka lazy nya o sa automatic lng.?

Naka drive ako ng automatic hindi nga lng fortuner at MUX. Mga surplus vehicles na auto ang na try ko.

What do you mean

"WHATS ur take mga ka tsikoteers?"

Please backread sir, I have an LS-M MUX (mid variant). I bought it last December 2014, with the Fortuner, Montero, and Trailblazer taken into consideration. It was the best PPV for me at that time, since it ticks all the right boxes and it fits the bill.

I advised you to test drive both because you (and other forumers here) might not believe what I will say about the MUX vs the outgoing Fortuner.

I agree with Djerms about the MUX being very comfortable. You will not feel shaken when driving through bumpy roads unlike in the outgoing Fortuner which really is very bumpy even if the tire pressures are dropped. I don't feel comfortable driving and riding the Fortuner even if the agent told me TMPC has improved the softness of its suspension.

Engine noise in the MUX is barely noticeable when cruising at 2000rpm. Quieter when seated at the 2nd and 3rd rows. Overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, & Harshness) is significantly lower vs the Fortuner.

Power wise, while it may seem that the Fortuner has more on paper, both cars have enough for city driving, overtaking, and highway cruising. The MUX felt better when driving as it delivers full 320Nm torque at 1800-2800rpm, vs the Fortuner's 2KD-FTV with a surging 343Nm of torque that peaks at 2000rpm then decreases drastically as you go up the rev range.

Anyway it's up to you to decide. It's your money anyway. But the best way to judge any car is to test drive it yourself rather than believe in what strangers like me say on this forum.

Hindi sir sa QC ako. Dyan ko kinuha sa Rizal kasi matino at maasikaso mga agent. By phone lang ako nag inquire pero maayos kausap. Nakita ko lang agent ko nung kinuha ko yung unit nung fri.
Ganun ka efficient sila. Sa Commonwealth at Quezon ave na dealer prioritize nila ang in-house.
Di gaya sa Rizal walang tanong tanong kung inhouse or hindi basta ask mo annong color at varriant ibibigay nila agad.
3.0 yung sa akin sir. Less 30k

Lucky you, sir. I called this dealer several times back in 1st quarter of 2015, I was not as lucky. They wouldn't even return my calls. I ended up getting my car somewhere else.

Look for jen de leon. Di kayo mapapahiya. May available na pearl white that day pwede ko nang kunin pero gusto ko talaga brown. Ni reserved nya sa akin without bayad and nakapag request pa ako ng gusto kong ending plate no para sa coding.
