the patrol was great. my only complaint was the gas consumption. it was running only at about 5km per liter, unleaded and 100% city driving (i.e. metro manila). however, i did take it to baguio one time, filled it up in makati, went to baguio and stayed overnight then went back down to makati and only needed to gas up when i got to paniqui, tarlac. it ran at about 8km to 9km per liter at that time
i just saw the opportunity to sell it back in february 2004 and i did. this was way before gas prices went ridiculously up so you could say that the timing of the sale was great
but dont get me wrong. it was a great vehicle. solid, runs great, almost no rattles and i enjoyed driving it as much as i enjoyed driving my gen 2 paj
