QUOTE(tiewgine8039 @ Aug 31 2014, 01:37 PM) Hello all sifus here, I am now looking for an large SUV, currently looking at Fortuner 2.5 diesel and Pajero Sport VGT, need to know any review or comments on these two cars. Other value for money suv please recommend to me as well, if possible, 7 seater SUV, and diesel maybe. Petrol not tahan thanks all sifus  I only have experience with Pajero Sport. Our company has 2 units of these SUVs, and we have covered a lot of mileage on these vehicles. Fairly comfortable during long journeys due to the high seating, and the bouncy but firm suspension soaks up the bumps and irregularities on the roads. Leather seats are quite comfortable during long journeys, quite thick. NVH is not too bad for a diesel-powered SUV. Diesel engine's noise is acceptable. There is an audible whining sound from the CVT during acceleration, but it is rather soft. ie. acceptable. A caveat, the Pajero Sport is the only diesel-powered SUV I have experience with. No experience with Fortuner or other equivalent diesel SUVs. |

QUOTE(k!nex @ Aug 31 2014, 04:40 PM) Pajero Sport has no CVT version in Malaysia. Yours should be 5 AT. the whine should be the turbo spooling sound. Yes, thanks for the correction. Whenever I hear the high-pitch whining sound I think of the CVT. Yes, should be the Turbo sound during acceleration. |

By the way, if you want a quieter vehicle, you may want to look at petrol version SUVs. Although the Pajero Sport is quite acceptable in terms of NVH, when compared to petrol vehicles, the (diesel) engine sound of the Pajero is loud.
The Ford Focus TDCI (Turbodiesel) which runs on diesel is quieter than the Pajero Sport VGT, but it is a sedan and not an SUV. Unfortunately, the Ford SUVs are all petrol versions.

QUOTE(tiewgine8039 @ Aug 31 2014, 05:24 PM) Wau... Petrol version SUV like fortuner is 2.7, less torque compare to pajero sport. And I think the FC would be much higher The noise wise I think I can live with that. My home got a hilux, so, get used to that. Any focus tdci in malaysia? Did not see at any place. Hmm.. My colleague has the Focus TDCI and I sat in his vehicle several times already. It had been discontinued by Ford just last year I think. Okay, if you can live with the noise of the Hilux then I think the Pajero Sport VGT shouldn't be an issue as it should be quieter than the Hilux. Diesel-powered vehicles are usually preferred as the better designs are usually more fuel efficient than the petrol equivalents. The Focus TDCI's fuel economy is very good, compared to petrol vehicles. If I'm not mistaken it registers about 4 or 5 litres/100km. Pajero Sport VGT fuel economy is fairly good. Only bad thing is most petrol stations may not have diesel sometimes, and the handle of the diesel pump is usually quite oily, and the floor is usually tainted with diesel too. Not very clean conditions at the diesel pump stations when compared to petrol pump stations. |

Didn't notice the Everest. That is one big mean machine. Looks like the last row of seats at the back is more spacious than the Pajero Sport. |
