We have been waiting for our order of Montero 4x2 for over a month now after reserving a unit with a sales person's promise of 2-3 weeks delivery. We ordered from Union Motors stationed in Mall of Asia via financing, and sad to say that it's such a disappointing sales experience. The problem is that they seemed either IGNORANT or INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING on when the orders can really be delivered. It's been disappointing to hear one excuse to another of delays such as flooding, then too many vehicles for inspection daw thus slowness, then its taking them time to allocate daw, then now madami daw units nasira cause of high tides in sea (wtf), etc. The sales person said that this is just what "their marketing" is telling them thus it's just not the SA's fault.
What pissed me off the most was that pinag down na ako last week dahil ma kuha na daw unit in a day or 2, causing me to sell my old car (to put the proceeds as down). Since then, It's been over a week of our family having no car to use, and up to this date, still uncertain of when can it be delivered.
Long lines especially on hot vehicles is not a problem - this happens to nice models and is understandable. What is really upsetting is the fact that these sales people are:
1. Either *Ignorant* or *Misleading* people to buy with a false promise of delivery in a few weeks
2. Asking me to give the financing down payment in despite not being sure on when it will be delivered. (falsely promising 1-2 days delivery that time).
Note: there are probably other good sales people out there, so pardon this post if it's not for you.
I am seriously looking into cancelling my order, and is now looking into the Sta. Fe or the Fort.
hi got mine last july and wanted to be part of MSCP.

Welcome sir shadowflying! enjoy your ride!
Hi Ms. Leahdimac, they're right. You might want to try checking out provincial sites![]()
I'm sorry to inform you my SA told me that the Montero Sport 4x2 White variant is not available at Diamond Motors Valle Verde Pasig. "Mahaba daw yung pila" She is willing to assist you if you want to avail a Sta. Fe vehicle. Diamond Motors Valle Verde is the sister company of Hyundai Motors at Marcos Highway, Makati & Manila.
*HOTROD:
* how does one tire affect cabin noise? do you mean certain tires design can absorb road bumps and vibrations more than other tires? any suggestions or brands and models? how much kaya?
Because its the direct contact point between the car and the road. Simply put, they are not created equal![]()
example sa dati kong 97 city, using the standard "13 goodyear gps2 tires, may "ugong" on 80 kph. nung naguprade ako into 15's and using dunlop lemans 702. nawala ung ugong.
MS uses bridgestone duelers. falken at toyo ang nakita kong ginamit ng ibang may MS dito. i guess those are ok.
4. *according to the brochure: front suspension double wishbone coil springs w stabilizer bar? is this the same as independent suspension or a type of independent suspension? rear is 3-link coil springs w stab bar.
exactly. but as ive said, rear is not independent because of the solid axles.
5. * AMEN; pero di naman to the extreme description na :your arm shakes after driving it for a long period of time" di ba?
ah no, not to the point na nanginginig na ang kamay ko.
7. *how about the 2.5L turbocharged & intercooled 4D56? do you have same opinion as with 4m41, in terms of engine noise?
i've driven a 4d56 installed on an L200 pickup. non-turbo, non crdi. maingay
mas tahimik siguro ung bagong 4d56, since its more "refined" and it only 2.5
8. is it a fun car to drive?
Yeah it is fun, suspension is firm, steering as ive said is communicative, and the 3.2 4m41 engine has mountains of torque. Its fun enough for a car enthusiast like me.
*will it be as fun to drive if is just a 2.5L 4D56 turbocharged engine 4x2? that what im thinking of purchasing kasi?
i guess so. mag request ka ng test drive on the exact unit na gusto mong bilhin. then take it from there.
hope you guys can spend time to share your thoughts. really want to be an MS owner someday but i hope that it will be fun and less of a headache.

... its been a while since I last checked this forum... i have to back read 10 pages!!! ... there seems to have a very passionate discussion.. peace to everyone.. :peace:
just to share, i went to Atoy last Sat and bought my first mod for my monty... i got the "NTyCE inspired" tailgate cladding... now, I always want to look at my car's rear.. hehehe
i was fortunate to see a club member having his unit dress-up as well... to all bulakenos, look out for a gray monty in 18" lenso rims with a macho looking front.. hehehe..![]()

macho looking front? sounds intriguing. share pics please señor niteman!
oops, not paying attention. hindi pala sa yo sir.. sorry hehe![]()
ano po ang bulb model number sa park light ng montero? i bought a LED park light and installed them on my monty. just 2 days of use 1 bulb was busted and the other died on the next day. tama naman ang socket nya compared the peanut filament bulb. what seems to be the problem why it went kaput in a short period of time. is it the LED bulb quality or i bought the wrong bulb?
Bros Intyce and Mic, very good point guys
It's a good thing to point the facts out. As usual, I just take it with a grain of salt.
Hope to see you soon guys.
