2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[Ry_Tower]

Pero some Fortuner owners said mas malakas sana yung 3.0V D-4D sa 2.7VVT-i..

Kung 4X2 lang yung 3.0V D-4D. Kasi masyado mabigat eh.

Kaya dito sa Montero Sport, may possibility na mas mabilis yung GLS-V 4X2 sa GT-V 4X4..

- totoo yan kasi sa mga MS, mechanical at hindi pa din electrical ang 4 wheel drive system nila. Mas reliable kasi kaso mabigat nga lang. It will surely affect its speed.

[Starex_Gold]

I still prefer mechanical 4WD.

Yung dalawa pa ang kambyo.

Mas astig eh.

I do agree it is possible na mas mabilis yung GLS-V sa GT-V. But another possibility is that mas equally distributed ang power ng GT-V because it has 5 speed A/T. if you will check, 3rd and 4th gear of the GLS-V is the same with the 4th and 5th gear of GT-V (though slightly different final gear ratios), so i think sa first 3 gears, possible na magka-advantage na ang GT-V kahit medyo mabigat sya. but still bought a common rail box to boost my upcoming GT-V (216hp/ 440Nm), mahirap na, hehe

[Starex_Gold]

216HP!?

Imba ang bilis niyan.

Palagay ka na ng roll cage

guys... if a 2.8 Montero Sports 4x2 Gas A/T is made available, do you think it will generate a lot of interest?

No
The diesels are just too good, and soon the lowest spec GLX will have 178PS and 400Nm. The MS gas engines in other markets are V6 3.0L and 3.5L (3.8L?) which do not make much sense here.

Toyota on the other hand has a 2.5L diesel with only 102PS, so their 2.7 gas has a market. But with the cheapest P1.3M GLX MS about to become (April?) more powerful than the top of the range P1.8M Fortuner; I think Toyota will soon have a new engine lineup. They may even drop the gas version altogether in The Philippines.

Good to see many photos already uploaded here so that future owners will have some visuals of the improved Montero sport. (for those requesting uploads the other day, sorry I had difficulty uploading. have to learn first, so next time will be no problem uploading :-) ) Though I havent seen any uploaded photo of the ipod connectivity, it is located in the glove compartment.

Some possible modifications/upgrades would be:
1. better/louder horn;
2. matting, especilly for the third row.

a 2.8 gas engine?! where will that come from?! is it a Mitsubishi sourced engine? what is the model number? Please specify. AFAIK, the biggest Mitsubishi sourced 4 cylinder engine as of now is the 2.4 4G69 or 2.4 4B12 unless you are referring to the 3.8 6G75 currently found in the Pajero... i hope that has MIVEC so it wouldn't be that as +/- thirsty like the current Fuzion.

IMO, it can sell but not as much as the diesel variants. it will be an alternative to the big SUVs from the 3 american brands.

Yan nga din ang concern nung seller, bigger brakes and reinforced cage daw. Actually bought it not for high speed use, para lang macompensate the big and heavy wheels i am putting on the gtv. But you are right, thanks

Teka lang,

You mean 4-speed A/T parin sa GLS-V 4X2?

Kung mag-drag race sila, the GT-V 4X4 should be in the 2H mode (RWD mode). Kasi kung naka 4H, may chance na manalo yan dahil 50/50 ang torque distribution.

[gucci88]

I placed an order for the 2.5 VGT AT 4x2 I was informed by my sales consultant that seat covers were not included for free because the unit already has "high fabric". Where do I get seat covers for the Montero now? How much should they cost? To be honest, I am just looking for simple seat covers as small kids make easy work of a new vehicle.

sir where did you order ? how long raw po waiting time

[Ry_Tower]

grabe rin thread na ito, saglit lang 40 pages na!!! I guess it only shows how good and popular MS really is. Astig yung 216bhp/440nm na MS if ever ha. be safe!

Mga sir, makitanong lang po. Presently I'm out of country. Nakisuyo ako sa Mrs. ko na mag-order ng rear roof spoiler sa Mitsubishi Dealer na pinagbilhan ko rin ng montero. After three days pinapunta sa casa si Mrs. dala sasakyan dahil dumating na ang spoiler at ikakabit na. At tumawag Mrs. ko nong tapos na, nasurprisa ako nang sinabi ni Mrs. na hindi stock ng casa at hindi rin sa casa na-install ang spoiler. Binigyan daw siya ng referral ni sr. sales exec. na puntahan nya yong car accessories dealer. Any way installed na. Since I'm not able to witness the installation maki tanong nalang po sa mga naka experience na nagpainstall na ang rear roof spoiler.

Tanong ko lang, since dalawang butas daw ginawa sa backdoor para pagkabitan ng hook, may posibilidad kaya na doon sa dalawang butas makapasok ang tubig at maipon doon sa loob ng back door tuwing mag-car wash at mangyaring maulanan sa byahi?

Just saw the 2.5L VGT Montero kanina. Sana maimprove nila yung plastics, scratch magnet yung dash. Not too crazy about the sidings either. Di ko alam kung imagination ko lang pero parang mas tahimik ng konti yung engine compared to the old 2.5L.

Which after market horn do u prefer? Bosche or Hella? and what type? I'm planning to buy all the accessories before my GLS-V arrives.

[pogy_uy]

^ or Mitsuba Alpha 2 Horns?
