2. 3.2did engine, reliable powerful engine.
3. resale value, i am sure 4 to 5 years down the road, you would be able to sell the montero at a much higher value than a sta fe of the same year.
these are just some of the things that i see the montero has an advantage over the sta fe, but if you will only be using the sta fe for city driving with family, sta fe might have an edge in riding comfort.
