October 26th, 2014 09:13 PM #54A stock Montero VGT is very sluggish off the line (based off experience with the Strada GLS-V, seconded by Montero GLS-V owners). It only starts accelerating in earnest once it hits 2k rpm from which it delivers excellent midrange acceleration which just keeps going before losing steam at around 170-180.
I haven't had the opportunity to "properly" thrash our Santa Fe yet. But from what I've experienced, it accelerates hard almost immediately off the line exhibiting how a variable geometry turbo is really supposed to work. I personally find the 4D56 VGT to have more "brutal" midrange punch as compared to the Santa Fe's more linear acceleration.

October 27th, 2014 01:42 AM #56I've thought of that too. Might be the case. Can't ask him though. My friend knows next to nothing about cars except driving them, and that is their family "coding vehicle" . The car's got 17s as compared to our SF's 18s which, theoretically, should give it an advantage in terms of ride comfort. We inflate to 35psi on all corners, by the way.
Compared to modern ladder frame SUVs, I personally don't find our SF THAT much more comfortable as their different platform types might suggest, though it is noticeably less bouncy.

1. Trailblazer 4x2/Sorento 5 seater /Santa Fe/Montero Sport V6 4x2 >>>> Trailblazer 4x4 > Montero Sport >>> everything else.
Of the four, the Sorento and Santa Fe have the potential to hit 100 under 9 seconds... but the new Santa Fe feels slower and heavier.
Good luck finding the five people in the country who actually bought a V6 Montero Sport to test it out.

3. Same.
4. Pointless. All of these cars have speed limiters. And drag racing on the streets is illegal, don'cha know.
Front-wheel drive is much, much, much safer at highway speeds than rear wheel drive. Any deflection of the direction of travel due to hydroplaning (over the puddles that form on the fast lane at the SLEX during heavy rains) is easy to control... just have a firm grip on the wheel. In a rear wheel drive car, if you start hydroplaning when the car is under power, the momentary imbalance of torque at the rear axle will cause the rear end to "step out" (ergo - drift)... which you need to counter after the fact with a quick application of countersteer. If you lift off the gas or hit the brakes in panic, it will simply make the slide worse.

This was the 3.0 V6 lifted from the Outlander that made 200 hp, released sometime in 2012 for about 1.4M.
It was Mitsubishi's way of countering the 2.7G Fortuner. Unfortunately, the phrase "3.0 V6" scared away people more than it enticed them 😂

I could be wrong... it could be less.
But seriously... who's going to buy a V6 Montero Sport? With the soft suspension and very slow steering, it's not a sports car... so why would you want all that gas guzzling power? Especially when the 2.5 is already quicker than most people need?
