Hi everyone -
Hope to get great advice from fellow members as I have done in the past :happy:
I was originally planning to buy a 2.2 XLT A/T Ranger but got pretty disappointed that the waiting line is so long that even our procurement office mentioned to me that they couldn't find anyone to commit in delivering one in the near future.
So I looked around and found interest in the Montero Sport GLX A/T. Having read stuff on it my only concern is the "turbo lag" owners have been mentioning. I am not the know everything and tinkering sort of owner and would really just want a reliable vehicle that would meet my needs.
Budget: 1.2M
Transmission: A/T (as the vehicle will be used in Manila on weekdays)
Previous vehicle: 2010 Tucson
The help I need:
A. Can anyone explain the "turbo lag" and what it would mean while driving on the road?
- I will use the vehicle mainly in manila on weekdays and would go home to the province on weekends (via SLEX)
B. I read that the issue is not evident in the GLS-V model which is around 150K-200K more expensive.
- My budget was set to the 1.2M budget and the GLX was a consideration with the unavailability of the Ranger. Is the 150k-200k worth it and what would the benefits be? Does the GLS-V have any similary issues (Yup! I will read the GLS-V thread too :twak2: )
C. Should I just wait for the Ranger to be available? No idea on when supply will stabilize.
D. Any other suggestions??? :bowako:
Sorry if the post lacks clarity on the need/use of the vehicle is not well defined. I just need a vehicle to utilize a company benefit.
Thanks in advance and hope that this would be the third time to purchase a vehicle based on Tsikot feedback!!! :bowako:
