Toyota 86 Aero 2.0 MT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2.4L GLS 2WD 8AT (2020): which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer who values sporty driving dynamics, the 2015 Toyota 86 Aero 2.0 MT is the better pick despite being slightly cheaper (₱1,846,000 vs ₱1,927,000). It delivers higher peak power (200 PS at 7,000 rpm) and a rear‑wheel‑drive layout in a lightweight coupe, making it more engaging on twisty roads. However, its two‑plus‑two seating, limited cargo space and lack of current availability reduce its practicality for families or daily errands. The 2020 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2.4L GLS 2WD, priced a bit higher, offers a torquey 2.4‑L turbo‑diesel (430 Nm at 2,500 rpm) that excels in low‑end pull, a spacious five‑door SUV body, and a modern 8‑speed automatic, which together give a more comfortable ride for long trips and hauling passengers or goods. Its body‑on‑frame construction adds durability for rougher roads, and it is currently available. Choose the Toyota 86 if you prioritize performance, rear‑wheel drive feel, and a lower price, and you can accept limited practicality and availability. Opt for the Mitsubishi Montero Sport if you need a versatile, family‑friendly SUV with strong low‑end torque, modern transmission, and immediate availability, even at a modest price premium.
