I meant Top end ng mga brand nila bro. V sa Fortuner and GLS SE sa Montero etc... Yup matagtag pero sabi nila hindi naraw yung mga bagong labas?

It all depends what you want. The Forrester is the most sporty of the three but is really more of a city SUV than the Fortuner and Montero which ostensibly can go off-road. Aside from being a passenger, I don't have much first hand knowledge of the Fortuner so I'll keep my comments to the Montero. It has a very soft, comfortable ride. Like a big station wagon. I don't know how this will affect its off-road capability. It has room for 7 but because it's built on a pickup base, there really isn't that much roominess inside, especially legroom for the third row of seats. I personally found the drivers seat/steering wheel configuration cramped. The steering wheel is adjustable, but even when it was at its highest, and the seat was at its furthest back, I still had the steering wheel resting on my lap and I had to go bow legged to step on and off the gas and brakes. I'm not extraordinarily tall, so I would imagine anyone much over 6 feet might have an issue.

Another vehicle not on your list, but worth considering is the Isuzu Alterra. Personally I would take it over the Montero because it's more roomy inside. I found its ride more comfortable than than the Fortuner but less so than the Montero.

Meron na bang Chevrolet Traverse or equivalent diyan? We have a Chevrolet Traverse '09 and we just love it. Very good mileage for its power and it has all the nice conveniences in it. Here in the US, it has the biggest third row legroom and trunk space. Oh yes, it's an SUV with a third row which actually makes it a crossover.

I have seen the Kia Sorento, it has a 3rd row too but the legroom and trunk space is ridiculous.

When I was there in the Philippines, I find the 2nd row seat uncomfortable and ridiculous legroom space on the third row.

The Subaru Forester... I wish it had a third row seat but who wouldn't love a Subaru?

Get the Fozzie XT! Great handling specially on curves. Great aftermarket support! AWD FTW!

what percentages are you looking at for this vehicle to do?

1) flood management

2) off road

3) people hauler

4) city driving

maghihirap ako dyan.

i tried the new chevy tahoe 2 sundays ago, nagustuhan ko siya, overall maganda. malakas nga lang sa gas. id' still go for a tacoma or tundra though.

we have a friend na naka 2010 range rover sport. bihira nila gamitin. matagtag daw and "stiff" compared sa lexus rx nila. eh since may anak sila, mas madalas nila gamitin yung lexus rx. not bad if you go for that too, since Lexus RX is the best-selling crossover luxury SUV since it was introduced in the market.

My ex-girlfriend used to drive a Subaru. Okay siya even under "rocky" conditions.
