Hi guys!
Am looking to buy one of these as a daily driver. Am only looking at an automatic transmission. My main considerations are 1) durability, 2) kalampag, 3) comfort, 4) fuel economy 5) aircon, 6) interior noise and 7) ease of driving.
Fieldmaster concerns - is the 4M40 dependable? I heard its a gas guzzler. How do i know which models have front or side facing 3rd row seats?
Isuzu trooper - 4JX1 is a piece of crap. I plan to do a swap with a 4JG2, 4JJ1 or 4JB1. Mura lang naman trooper so i figured after the swap almost same price silang tatlo. Are there many available surplus parts and spare parts in auto supplies? I know many of you are against engine swaps but I have done it before and am perfectly aware about the conversion issues and paper work so its not a big deal to me. I just need to know if the above engine replacements are ok. I can still sell the 4JX1 to cover some of my cost. I want to know sana how this trooper fits into my 7 criterias above.
Sorento - Is there a 3rd row seat? Is the tiptronic dependable as I heard the carnival A/T is troublesome. Is this engine common with other Kia models? What is the engine model? Is that a dependable engine. Are spare parts readily available in auto supplies and surplus shops in banawe? is the 4x4 dependable? kalampagin ba ito kasi rack and pinion lang?
Any other options in P400K - P500K price range with 60/40 2nd row seats and 3rd row seats (my bike is always in the back so i need this feature)?
Hope to hear from you guys. Thanks and happy holidays!
