2.7 VVTi for me. I don't have confidence with Toyota's Driven4-Death more popularly known as D4-D...

Cheaper cost, more power, smoother, and with the smaller price gap between gas and diesel, I'd get the 2.7VVTi.

I seriously doubt you'd be doing any serious mud bogging in a 4x2 SUV so the inherent advantages of the diesel are nil.

hmm not that good ride + weak noisy less smoother engine = less comfort IMO

Although recently lumalaki nanaman agwat ng gas and diesel. Yung gas weekly inaakyat pero sa diesel may price war mga stations. Diesel dun samin kanina P23 na lang...

I think buying a 102 hp 2.5 D4D Fortuner is just like having a 84 hp Sportivo in terms of power.

I'm really leaning towards the D4D but with all the horror stories i've read here its making me think twice... but on the other hand FC of the gas variant is also a very big issue for me coz it's gonna be used as a daily driver ( marikina- makati - marikina)... whew dont know what to do really

more inputs please peeps , i appreciate your time ... thanks

I have a 2.5month old 2.5 D4D - no complaints so far - love my Baby F. Engine is quiet - you won't know it's diesel, smooth ride, powerful and smooth engine, fuel-efficient, good ground clearance (no fear during floods). My fuel efficiency is much better than my friend's same-age Fort VVTI (I get 9+ city driving heavy traffic on a daily basis, he gets only 6 to 7+).
