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

[marlonyoingco]

guys need help choosing between this two...is your 100k additional really worthy choosing GLS-V a/t from GLX non VGT? same lang ba sila sa fuel consumption? thanks!

[dct]

i think 150k ang difference. aside sa VGT, may mga features ang GLS-V na wala sa non-vgt

[marlonyoingco]

sir sa fuel consumption same lang ba sila? thanks

[dct]

sabi nila VGT daw mas matipid, pero parang hindi rin nagkakalayo.

if i were you bro, pag medyo tipid tipid ka, non-vgt na. kung mas malakas ang FC nya sa VGT, konti lang ang difference for sure. besides, 150k ang natipid mo. db?

[OTEP]

Is 177 horsepower worth the extra cost? For daily use, probably not.

I'm satisfied with how the non vgt drives already.

But yes, there are other added features to separate VGT from non-VGT so you have to weigh that also.

150k Difference is already a small amount compared to what you're getting with the VGT Montero.

salamat mga sir sa comments...in my case more on city driving lang sya so this VGT technology is not applicable for me in terms of "power"..as of now wala pang complain sa VGT..but for me VGT is very sophisticated...in terms of FC topgear.com said GLS-V averagely travels 13.5km/L so i presumed that GLX non VGT a/t travels 12km/L...so 1.5km/L lang ung diffirence..assuming lang po..if i will do the math...in 100,000 km sa 38php/L of diesel...you could save 35,200 pesos for this VGT...in terms of FC...but for additional HP worthy talaga sya...sabihin na nating 100k ung price ng VGT...in your conclusion cost effective ba talaga and VGT? god speed :-)

[dct]

Ganito nlng sir, if you want, look at the extra features para mas madalian ka if sulit ang 100k plus the VGT. Hahaha. Naka GPS, 5 A/T, spare tire cover, cruise control, audio control sa steering wheel, chrome ang side mirrors and door handles. What else?

On real driving conditions, FC for the vgt monty is 8-9 km/liter on the city, 12-13 km/liter on the highway. Economy driving na po ito. I dont know the FC of the non-vgt monty but I think it would be close. Its hard to get an accurate comparison on FC since driving habits and driving conditions are never really the same unless a test is done on a controlled environment.

If you can afford it, go with the VGT na. The additional 40+ horsepower is a big difference on a car's performance. Plus, 5A/T pa instead of 4 A/T on the non VGT. Sulit na ang 100k mo even just on those two upgraded features. The other additional upgraded features are already bonuses. For me, buying a car is a major purchase and I tend to keep my car for a long time. You have to really be happy and contended with what you buy. It really sucks paying the monthly payments for something you are not really happy with... as long as you can afford it of course.

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?

[baludoy]

^ 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).

[alvinladen]

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.

[marlonyoingco]

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!

[marlonyoingco]

yes sir i was referring to GLX a/t
