Montero GLX non VGT a/t or GLS-V a/t?

**basti08** · July 28th, 2012 12:30 PM

Btw, we are also contemplating on buying a non VGT model. OK na ako sa performance ng non-VGT. Pero I just wanna know if pwede ba sya pa lagyan ng steering audio controls? Mas trip ko pa yun kesa sa cruise kasi eh. Yun lang ata talaga ang feature na gusto ko sa higher models. Yung side mouldings eh available naman after market pati tire cover (3.5k daw sa labas). Saka may luggage box ata yung GLS-V models-up.

As far as I know, the difference is around 250k, P1,198,000 for GLX NonVGT compared to P1,448,000 for GLS-V 2.5L 4X2 A/T, maybe your are referring to GLX AT with price tag of P1,298,000?

^ that's about right. it's a pretty substantial amount for a farmer like me that's why we're inclined to get the non-vgt a/t too. dami na din pataba at pa-sweldo iyon

tingin ko makakatipid ka lang kung M/T non-VGT Montero. pero kung A/T non-VGT lugi ka, better get the VGT. mas maganda performance ng VGT pag A/T. yun M/T lakas na power nun, continuous supply na yun.

my only beef with the M/T Non-VGT is tingen ko mabigat yan i-drive, parang tangke din siguro yan. i really don't know, wala naman nag-review dito ng M/T non-VGT eh

The previous 09-10 model Montero Sport are all non VGT. So a review of the GLS MT is pretty much identical to the current non-VGT variant.

www.motioncars.com - The Philippine Car Buyer's Guide Since 1998! they have a review of the non VGT GLS MT model

btw, isn't it that the non VGT model more fuel efficient on sedate driving? When you are not really on the power band of the turbo? I mean if the turbo doesn't kick, shouldnt that translate to better FC? Than a turbo that works all the time (VGT).

ganito din ang pinagiisipan ko before ako bumili and i ended up getting the VGT. twice a week kasi ako sa slex at mahilig din ako mag overtake, baka mabitin ako. at naisip ko din na hindi masyado ramdam ang extra 100+k for VGT sa monthly amortization ko. mahirap din kasi na habang nagda-drive ako nagiisip-isip ako na "sana nag VGT na lang ako" hehe

ang nakakainis lang, walang signal light yung side mirror nya compared sa cheaper versions.

thanks guys...i think ill go with VGT...sa status ko mabigat talaga sa budget ung 150k additional for VGT...ilang gadgets din un or places to travel...since i will pay it cash kahit konti makatipid pa din ako...thanks a lot!
