New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[hawkenph]

Hi,
I know it seems early to be asking these questions. The reason I am doing this early is. I don't know the Models here in the Philippines. I am from the US. So, I am learning and seeing what is good/bad. I have made mistakes in the past choosing the wrong vehicle. And not researching it right. I wont make the same mistakes again. I hope I have not offended anyone. Its just me. Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

Sir Question lang, ksama ba ang MS SE sa 50K Price increase? last june pa kasi ako nagpa reserve tapos hangang ngayon wala pa yung unit. baka mamaya masama pa sa price increase...

i suggest not to stick to only one dealer. take time to visit some afterall they're open on sundays naman. if that SA can't tell you right away that you will not be included in the price increase once your unit is delayed then better to go somewhere. wala rin eh diba? refundable naman ang deposit.

Well, I had my leatherette seat covers done at sureseats alabang. And was very glad I did. Very nice fit and no kulubot whatsoever ( sori pres mic, dunno translation of kulubot). They already have the template for our MS which was a perfect fit. The prices are 8500 and 9500. I chose the one with the higher quality and got a good discount as i was the first ms club 'member' to have it done though they've fitted a number of monteros already as evident by the skills that their people have shown in removing and reinstalling the seat hardwares and covers. Just mention that an MS club member recommended their shop and most probably they will give you discount as well. Sori dont know how to post pics...

Thanks for the feedback and 'hope that you can really post some pics.
Anyway, i went to sure seats this late afternoon and inquired about genuine leather re-upholstery. Their package rate is much better than seatmate though 'not sure of the workmanship. As for the materials being used, they are using only German Genuine Leather. It is soft and i think better than the leather being used on the stock Fortuner leather seats.

But one thing interesting to note is that Sure Seats is the old Boy C's shop. I have searched for various car interior shops and read some good reviews of Boy C's works in the past.

I'd given myself until this week to find more info or good reviews about this shop prior to making the order. This is the shop nearest to my place. They can even pick up the seats and the sidings from my residence (less hassle!)

But i'm still hoping that somebody could post some pics of what they had with sure seats. It will definitely help on our decision. tia!

Sir, don't get me wrong, there is no offense what so ever, i was simply stating that since by the time you want to buy there are newer models or newer options. Such as, with the montero, we know that mitsubishi is planning to release a certain limited edition model. So that why i was saying that it might be a little too early to research on it now. By the time of your purchase, the pros and cons of each models might change. So far the montero's price has risen a few times since its release last year, and a variant has already fazed out and newer variants came in. See by the time next year, the variants available now (engine, accessories, etc) might not be available which could even make it no longer worth buying. But of course, as of the moment, asking in this thread will only give you a biased answer of the montero being much better than the fortuner.

Goodpm, sir Ntyce.

May I ask how much your honeycomb/mesh front grille cost?
Seems very sporty and very nice.
I've been to casas and i've observed that their version of honeycomb grille are smaller as compared to the front bumper. Is it made from fiberglass or abs plastic? If im not mistaken, did you buy it from A-toy?

Thanks in advance.

...need some advice from fellow GLS owners...which is the best option for the door side trims if i have my seats re-upholstered with black genuine leather?...1) maintain its grey color (replaced with genuine leather perforated for the sides and plain with double stitch on the elbow/ hand rest) or 2) make it match the black color of the leather seats (perforated sides/ plain with double stitch on the hand rest)?

...simply asking what is the best/ good looking combo as follows:

black leather seats - grey side trims (current color combination/ maintained color scheme but re-upholstered with genuine leather)

black leather seats - black side trims (re-upholstered with black genuine leather)

Pls backread... but anyways, it is kinda hard to find again..

my honeycomb as of the moment is 1 of.. unless wengG2 has already been successful with it. The grill is my original stock grill destroyed and modified to look like that. But i know atoy has a grill for sale with a different mesh also, just not like mine. But yes, they were the ones who did it. But they don't carry the mesh.

^ For me, i'll choose the light grey leather interior of the SE version, to maintain the OEM look.

LuxeLeather offered me a genuine leather re-upholster for my 2.5 GLS, for 38thou including door sidings. Perforated, light grey genuine leather. 2 days installation. What do you think? I think at Seatmate, it will cost you about 50k ++

I've checked the official site of mitsu phil.. There are 4 variants of MS including the GLS 3.2 4x4.. Not totally na phase out yung GLS.. Is it really still available? My bro. is planning to have one, I recommended the SE for him but he asked me if GLS 4x4 is still available.. Sabi ko naphase out na but chineck ko sa site meron pang GLS 3.2 variant.. maybe this week punta ako sa dealer ko to confirm if its true..
