I didn't like Mitsubishi's in the 90s because of the quality of their cars (specifically the lancer and the L300 issues back then), but when I acquired a 2002 Mitsubishi Adventure GLS Super Sport gas, that all changed. I drove it for 10 years and I have nothing say but good things. Kahit pabaya ako, the car was very reliable, na-Ondoy pa yun sa lagay na yon. Eventually after 10 years, we had to shift to a new car, and we chose the Xpander. I understand what sir Vince points out on Mitsubishi's being engineered by enthusiasts. Other than Toyota, Mitsubishi has the best quality and offerings in each of their cars respective classes. In all of the 7-seaters offered here in the Philippines, only the Xpander has cruise control offered in its class (ni-research ko Veloz, wala din). It's why we decided to buy the car, because of what Mitsubishi always has to offer. Kudos to you sir Vince 🙏 Nice review and great commentary.
we've had mitsubishi's since I was a kid. galant, lancer, l300, strada, pajero, montero. generally ok naman, except yung 1st gen montero, 'maliit/masikip' kumpara sa iba. but the latest gens, mas ok at lumuwag
Tatlo naging lancer namin - singkit itlog at pizza. Yung singkit nalubog sa baha nung 1999. Tapos nung ondoy nalubog silang tatlo. Hanggang ngayon ginagamit parin silang lahat. Btw, naglabas rin kami nitong black series last month lang. 😊😊
It's fulfilling to know that even expert car reviewers consider the Montero Sport the most favorable and reasonable mid-sized SUV to have. It's really the Montero Sport that wins the hearts of percipient buyers in the mid-sized SUV category, at least in my opinion. It's not always about who has the highest sales and volume present on our roads or how fancy the features are if we're to determine the success of a car. A big factor of which is the kind of satisfaction it offers in terms of the ownership experience. That strong man and machine connection and that feeling of never wanting to get rid of it even if new models are released. As a former die-hard fan of its rival brand in the market, after we got our Montero Sport, it made me never want to look back anytime soon. 🤭
Proud montero Gen 3 owner here...the handling is superb. I have a mitsubishi lancer before as my first car and my wifey also drives a mitsubishi L200 pickup on her college days. Now she's planning to have an xpander, So yes we are both mitsubishi loyalist.
was able to get mine back in 2016 before the TRAIN law kicked in. after discounts and all... 1.25M for the GLS model back then. Sometimes I wonder if I should have gotten a Fortuner, or a Terra, or even an Everest back then, but when I get behind the wheel of my monty, I know why I bought it. Will miss Mitsubishi. Such an iconic brand now fading away.
Nag test drive ako ng Montero kaso nakita ko isang problema masikip yung first row tumatama yung right leg sa consolep pag ikaw driver maganda sana performance pero mas maluwag talaga Fortuner.
@@genos69 yes masikip ng kunti,pero masasanay karin, yung bagong release ngayon na mg unit naka leather rap na yung part ng center console na tinatamaan ng right leg mo.
@@fredtacang3624 in terms of wide dimension at cabin space interior,medyo on the slim side siya, the good thing about it is, madali lang eh maneho ang montero lalo na on the tight spaces and road, in terms of comfort naman top notch ang feeling kapag nasa loob ka, very luxurious ang dating, at yung rides napaka ganda.
@@juliust.gayagas4022 Noted bro. Yep mukhang 'gwapo' yung latest gen, esp yung dark/charcoal gray. Shades of the original 'gwapo' pajero (1st gen), esp yung gray din ng model na yun lol
Don't worry about losing that Misubishi DNA with the new Triton based Montero. Mitsubishi is the lead Company developing the platform. Nissan is the beneficiary.
We have A gen 2 1994 2.8 4x4 pajero still running smoothly as is today, the shifting uhm its not as good as new but idoes the job just need some slightly minor fix but you can't really argue about it, it's a 29 year old car even older than me, the cars been part of the family already. we are planning to get a new suv and Mitsubishi is on top of it just waiting for the gen 4 montero hopefully soon
One thing I don’t understand,there is no emblem for each variant. Just bought the gt variant and you can’t really tell unless you know what your looking for.
Same, I also prefer the column-mointed stationary paddle shifters espcially with SUVs that have noticeably slower steering ratios than sedans and for off-road use. With steering-mounted paddles, I get confused with the paddles when twirling the steering in a tight dirt course in my experience with the Ranger Raptor (at least the paddles were nice and big, but would have preferred it to be column-mounted). The slow steering ratio (common with trucks and PPVs) also amplify this problem.
Driven 3.2 Gen 2 montero sport & gotta I love it’s just likely to be a driver error but this gen montero yep it’s a good vehicle but no really fan of the brakes that’s it really
Same. 2015 Monty here. That model has 2 main things, I think, why SUA occurs: 1. Too driver centric pedal placement -- the gas and brake pedals are too close (lol heel and toe shifting gg Mitsu 😏) and same level! No wonder drivers easily misstep. 2. The gear shift indicator isn't too visible. Unlit yung gear indicator sa dash during daytime, and gear selector position isn't too obvs. Otherwise: love the 4D56 hi power reliability and decent (for its generation) handling.
I'm just curious that we are almost in the last quarter of the year, and your review of the variant is just done now (4 days ago according to your channel). Or is this just a re-post?
Yung ayaw ko lang sa Montero yung suspension nya ang lambot specially pag loaded na sya nka tingala and parang ang baba nya tignan na para syang Xpander nlang🤣🤣🤣 pero other than that maganda yung performance nya.
Di nyo sana pinalitan ng springs my Gen 3 has the original coil springs. Yung pinalitan ko lang is the Rear Shock absorber dahil the factory installed was busted. I replace it with the KYB it’s now superb my sister has this Gen 3.5 the ride compared to my Gen 3 na may KYB ang ganda. So heads up pag busted ung OEM na rear shocks replace it with a KYB Excel G 349090.
Our Gen 3 rear suspension was blown in it’s 2nd year of ownership ang I switched it with a KYB shocks the handling now is better. My sister bought the Gen 3.5 it’s rear is bouncy so that explains the OEM shocks for the rear is very bouncy.
Not a fan of the car, I think it's too expensive for what it offers. But hey, if you like the Montero Sport then good for you, we can all like different things.
Right now yeah, but 2 years ago, It was worth it. Based on the past decision of Mitsu, this will be the last iteration of the current gen. So if you are a buyer, better wait for the upcoming generation of montero
actually, this has more features and performance than the next gen everest titanium for the same price. The only advantage of the everest is the interior space
LOL maybe youre talking about Fortuner G. No fog lamps, manual aircon, no push start, no cruise control, no start stop system. No 360 camera, and a weaker engine. Mind you, fortuner g is more expensive than montero gls.
We own the GT variant, and it is where the Montero Black Series is based on. When I got my unit way back 2019, it's priced at 1.998M, however, it has no 360 camera, no Nanoe Filter Tech., No Front sensors, No FCM sensors, and no Adaptive Cruise Control. This Black Series Edition is priced at 2.025M with all those added features, I think it's a fairly reasonable adjustment in the price with all that upgrades. So, how is it a scam?

parang mas may value for money yung blazer. maluwag, not as pricey, comfortable, and kaya ren off-road (makina/ilalim/suspension)
You could"ve buy the Nissan terra, Its better offroad, 4wd terra can go to 800 - 900m deep
Our Mitsubishi Adventure Sport year 2000 lasted 22 years without any problem. We sold it to get the 2023 Expander GLS.

Great review, Sir! I like the insights especially regarding the SUA. Nice point!
Totoo ito, talagang matibay at felt luxurious everytime minamaniho ko ang 3rd generation na montero sport 4WD M/T.

Noted bro. Yep mukhang 'gwapo' yung latest gen, esp yung dark/charcoal gray. Shades of the original 'gwapo' pajero (1st gen), esp yung gray din ng model na yun lol
Bought a Mitsubishi in 2005 and never looked at other brands since then.
Don't worry about losing that Misubishi DNA with the new Triton based Montero. Mitsubishi is the lead Company developing the platform. Nissan is the beneficiary.
You can change the digital cluster into different instrument layouts. That one you’ve got displayed is the worst one.
Saving for hybrid/EV model. Gasoline and diesel vehicles are being phased out around the world. Invest wisely!

You can tell which variant it is by looking at the rim
@@maneseethangilt.2119 I bought the latest model other than the black series I did not see the difference.
@@daletorres2547 well the black series has black rims the gt 4x2 and 4x4 has two tone alloys and the gls and glx has one tone alloy wheels
Gusto kopo sa new 4x4 montero AT yung;
*Paddle shifters -stationary, ayaw ko yung sumasama sa pag ikot manubela
*Super Select 4wd II
5⭐👍
Yeah me too, ganda sana kaso yun nga stationary, Sana taasan din power output. Wag sana palitan transmission at iupdate lang smooth at effecient kasi

yung 2nd gen montero ko glsv 2012 model walang binatbat yung fortuner di makahabol .. yan yung maganda sa mitsubishi reliable na performance pa engine
Thanks for a great review
Is it true that the second row seats do not move front and back to give more space in the 3rd row?
True
Sir Vince, just want to confirm to you. The Black series has a Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert?
Our apologies. That was an error. The Blind Spot Monitoring and RCTA are found in the GT 4WD, not the Black Series.
Awesome content, thanks for sharing your truthfulness throughout the video 🤔👍
Driven 3.2 Gen 2 montero sport & gotta I love it’s just likely to be a driver error but this gen montero yep it’s a good vehicle but no really fan of the brakes that’s it really
i have no experience with SUA Issue a gen 2 owner here 😍

2. The gear shift indicator isn't too visible. Unlit yung gear indicator sa dash during daytime, and gear selector position isn't too obvs.

no gen2 owner has experience with sua.
Some have experience tho with human error, then claim it’s sua 😂
i love my montero sport gt 2021
Sir, pwede bang iupgrade yung mga features na wala sa gt 4x2 na meron sa black series 4x2?thanks
I'm just curious that we are almost in the last quarter of the year, and your review of the variant is just done now (4 days ago according to your channel).
Or is this just a re-post?
How's the ride quality? Matagtag ba?
U can see the OG Pajero at 6:18
those models now retail under 1M (2009/2010). pwede na! lol
Is the SUA still possible for this black series montero sir?
You can change the digital cluster design/format tho hehe
My friend can you please review the 4x4 2023 Everest Titanium?
👍👍👍mitsu since allowed to drive..❤️
Really mitsubishi need to update or bring new powerful engine....
the tech features with this montero sport is much much better than the new gen everest sport.
Hmm, really now?
Magaganda sasakyan ngayon kaso matagal waiting time sa kahit anong brand and branch eh no? 2 months na kami waiting sa Citimotors 😆
Oo nga po, lalo na yang Black Series. Wala kaming mahintay na puti. Nang may nalibreng kulay itim, kinagat na namin.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yung ayaw ko lang sa Montero yung suspension nya ang lambot specially pag loaded na sya nka tingala and parang ang baba nya tignan na para syang Xpander nlang🤣🤣🤣 pero other than that maganda yung performance nya.
Agree, kaso pag pinalitan naman ng matigas na springs antagtag ng ride pag walang karga or ikaw lang nag dadrive, may pros and cons talaga
Di nyo sana pinalitan ng springs my Gen 3 has the original coil springs. Yung pinalitan ko lang is the Rear Shock absorber dahil the factory installed was busted. I replace it with the KYB it’s now superb my sister has this Gen 3.5 the ride compared to my Gen 3 na may KYB ang ganda. So heads up pag busted ung OEM na rear shocks replace it with a KYB Excel G 349090.
Salamat sa review
Una ba ako?
All good and great but handling and its wallowy ride is a negative
Our Gen 3 rear suspension was blown in it’s 2nd year of ownership ang I switched it with a KYB shocks the handling now is better. My sister bought the Gen 3.5 it’s rear is bouncy so that explains the OEM shocks for the rear is very bouncy.

Its copy of Ford Eveerst yes
fortuner 2.8 can easily beat montero sport lol
Mitsubishi Montero. The same recycled design.
hahaay chrome
Basically a scam

the only mid size SUV with outdated design and less amenities.
