ReplyDeletewhat are the differences from the GLS aside from the tranny?
ReplyDeleteMitsu needs to change their Dynamic Shield design philosophy. It looks too busy and too chromey without adding any positive to aesthetics. And the hemorrhoidal back, it's even worst. New owner
ReplyDeleteNissan should be able to discern Mitsu needs help in their styling.
Montero looks great when it was introduced but after a year, the looks doesn't age well. Maybe that's they sell less of these as compared to the previous generation and add to that the reliability issues of Mitsubishi
ReplyDeleteBecause of prize and performance this model may be the king of the road again. MU-X and Everest has another contender.
ReplyDeleteWhat is easy-to-modulate clutch?
ReplyDeleteReview pleaaassseee!!!
ReplyDelete1.28M for the GLX Manual and 1.35M for the GLS Auto after "discounts" that apparently are permanent. Sounds reasonable enough.
ReplyDeleteGood value. However I find it strange that the fortuner are now outnumbering the montero when it comes to road presence. I mean the fortuner is like literally in every corner.
ReplyDeleteMitsu has an image problem as to quality (SUA), credibility (mileage controversy), and literally, it's plain ugly.
DeleteAlthough not true, the SUA image did hurt Montero sales. But I don't believe mileage has any impact. Mileage figures vary from country to country due to govt rules methodology. If it's a big concern to the buyer, we form our mileage expectation based on review of credible journalists and actual user experience in forums. I'm happy with my 2014 MS MT. It's mileage is 20pct better than my 2010 altis 1.6V AT in traffic.
ReplyDeleteDoes "easy-to-modulate clutch" means lesser force needed to step down the pedal compared to previous GLX Montero? Appreciate for the feedback. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily. In colloquial language, it means "madali itimpla".
DeleteThanks Uly.
DeleteIs the clutch of 2016 GLX lighter than 2013 GLX? A lighter clutch is my wish to still buy a manual, otherwise I will switch to AT.
Ang Tunay na Lalake Montero Sport ang kotse mo! Ibalik ang Bagsik!!! Bravo Biscuit!!
ReplyDeleteMasarap ang buhay, itodo ang arangkada ng walang palya. Broom Broom. Bravo Biscuit, ang bagsik mo!
MAHALAGANG PAALALA: ANG BRAVO BISCUIT AY HINDI GAMOT AT HINDI DAPAT GAMITING PANGGAMOT SA ANUMANG URI NG SAKIT.
What?
