The Montero Sport has a softer suspension BUT does not have as much NVH isolation and refinement as compared to the Fortuner. Thus, the harshness or courseness of the road isn't filtered enough and permeates into the cabin. Although occupants might not feel any large movement inside the car unlike the Fortuner which rocks people left and right, the high-frequency vibrations from the road tend to wear out the passengers and make them uncomfortable over a long drive. This gets worse as the road gets rougher and less smooth, like a poorly overlaid asphalt or a concrete road that was rushed to completion resulting on a rippled surface. This is what I mean about the Fortuner being firmer and harder, but the Montero Sport can be harsher because of poor NVH isolation and general lack of refinement compared to the Fortuner."

TUMPAK!!
ITO yung lagi ko inexplain na di ma-gets ng karamihan .. This is what i really like from FORTUNER. Because of the better NVH, even the sound details of your music coming from car stereo ay clear na clear kahit magaspang ang daan. Even conversations inside the cabin, mas malinaw. Sabi nga ng wife ko bakit MAS hindi ramdam sa fortuner yung takbo na 80 kph to 100 kph sa highway (commonly rough not asphalt) compare sa montero at grand starex. Kase nga sa Very good NVH ng fortuner. Less rattles than monty. Thumbs up for fortuner

We have compared monty & fortuner, both 2010 model, both black color, both 18k mileage, sabay kase halos binili, fortuner runs smoother, but monty rides softer. And take note mas me makalampag na yung monty.


Wala lang po, Just to want to share....hehe
That's nice... di na magdadalawang isip pa yung mga gustong bumili ng fortuner.
