    Yep. I also took home the Fortuner media test unit for a few days back then. A 3.0 4x4 model.

    Yes, pinagmamaneho ko amo ko kung anong kulay ng patrol ang terno suot niya that day, tama vinj? May dala akong tabloid at mga tansan para nalilibang ako while waiting, hehe

    Masikip din interior ng patrol for its size. The passengers have to share space with the transmission and other vital components which are tucked high up instead of hanging below the car for protection.

    Yeah, that's what I noticed when I attended the launch of the Super Safari years back. It's big, butch and bulky on the outside, perfect for PSG-like intimidation, but inside it doesn't feel that much bigger than my LC120. A friend called me for advice on how to improve the harsh and choppy ride of his Mom's 2005 Patrol. He swears the Big Dawg (Rancho made IIRC) adjustables Redback installed were awesome. Never got to test ride though.

    Montero Sport or Fortuner are the better options for you.

    Timbre mo ako pag day off mo na, papa-drive ako sa Pampanga. :D

    Same with the old Pajero FMs; big outside but inside a CRV seems to give it a good run for its money in terms of space.

    In terms of ageing though, the Patrol will still look good 10 years from now if you ask me.
