To all the tall montero owners, do you have the same experience? Is this something that you get used to over time? I'm looking forward to test driving a unit and asked the SA to text me when the next event comes up. In the meantime, would like to know your inputs.

Mux has a better legroom than monty.if you want to get a slightly bigger legroom get a monty manual.

Thanks but we need an automatic. The space is the major reason why we're considering the fort as another option. The monty has a better ride (from what I've heard), but at least with the fort there's an option to upgrade the suspension and improve the ride.

I considered the Mux as well, but the engine is Euro 2, the interior is plasticky and I'm not a fan of the exterior looks. Sayang lang, kasi I've read good things about its fuel efficiency, ride and all-around performance.

I'm 6ft too but you can alaways adjust ung driver seat to make you more confortable in driving. Nasanay na rin cguro and so far d pa naman nagka craps since driving my unit over a year now.

Also, timing chain na po ba ang latest Monty?

I'm also planning to buy Montero this Month (base model lang). The discount is just much better than my initial choice - Isuzu MU-X 2.5 LS-A MT.

best way to determine if timing chain any vehcile is to see if the main engine fan is powered by the engine itself parang hydrothermal generator. but if it's electrical powered like electric fan, naka timing belt

Guys.
May alam po ba san ok bumili ng seat cover na affordable? Base model kasi plan ko bilhin, so fabric seats lang siya. Wala raw cloth cover na freebie/binebenta si mitsubishi. I tried to PM Seatmate and LeatherOne sa FB but have yet to receive a reply.

It's like buying a shoe ... if it's uncomfortable the first few minutes of fitting / testing ... it will be worst when you use it longer ...
