Fortuner GAS or DIESEL? Pls. help.

**leigh861** · May 16th, 2005 10:06 AM

I have finally decided to buy a Fortuner instead of an Altis. The thing is I cannot decide whether to buy the 2.7 Gas or the 4x4 3.0 Diesel. Price difference is 300k.

What do you think?

Thanks.

2.7 would be ideal for everyday use. if u prefer diesel then get the 3.0D4D. i doubt u'll use it offroad though

assuming you have no issue with the price difference, diesel.

pero i'm not sure if tipid yung 2.7vvti. i have tried the prado's 3.5, tipid siya...

medyo nabibigatan nga ako sa price difference na 300k... gusto ko lang sana ma sure kung sulit ba sya.. eh mukha atang hindi... in the long run siguro mas sulit sya.. eh how long yun?

If you ask me, since Altis yung plano mo kunin before, why not just consider the 2.7G Fortuner? They're both Gas VVTi's and 4x2's naman eh. Kung Altis sana kunin mo tapos nag 3.0V ka... Well, you're kinda getting something that you won't really need or get to use...

That's just my 2cents on the matter...

yun lang nga, easily quantifiable yung pagbawi ng 300k, pero yung qualitative aspect nun eh ang mahirap itantsya. :D

you're still getting a great car though, congrats in advance :D

since you were considering an altis, the nissan x-trail 250X or ford escape V6 or mazda tribute V6 would probably make a smarter choice than the 2.7L fortuner.

ang layo naman masyado ng diesel 4x4 fortuner from your initial budget of <1 m for the altis hehe. you should look at the kia sorento LX turbodiesel 4x4, quite a value at 1 m, and it can hold its own against the fortuner in many ways.
