hi guys, ive been reading tsikot for several months and it has really expanded my knowledge in vehicles. From a simple comparison, maintenance, good dealers, etc. this forum didnt bore me even once . so more power to tsikot

i already searched the forum reg. sportage but i guess im not yet satisfied from the opinion of the owners. I want more hehe. My family is planning to buy another suv as an alternative to coding but it wont be a stock vehicle. i found cars too little for me. Once a week din to magpapahingan cause of coding.
so my question is which is better:

hyundai tucson 4x2 versus the kia sportage 4x2 (both gas variant)
pricing
safety features
mileage, sportage mileage according to one SA was 9-10km/l mixed driving
resale value
colors=white for me cause it looks more visible at night driving
and for the rustproofing, is it true that since its imported from korea these are already "factory rustproofed" matibay na ba un?
and finally this would be the first car that will have my name on the reg. papers


any recommendations for a good dealer? thanks in advance

i think you should buy based on physical appearance. mas gwapo sportage

[mackoto]

ser, di pa ba sapat ba good looking naman na din ung driver hehe pero other than exterior since panalo namn din talaga exterior ng sportage mahal lang talaga diesel kaya gas talaga

Sir,

I think the Tucson and Sportage are both the same underneath. But I would personally go to the Tucson because its better equipped. I think...

Plus, you can get Hyundai's 5 year warranty.

For the base model, I think, Sportage is better-equipped. Brakes are already all-discs plus it has ABS.

There are some dealers that give discounts. They have a Free IPOD shuffle promo this October.

969k sportage with abs
948k base model no safety features
*but then these are both gas, yep sabi nga ng SA and some reviews same platfom sila. so any ideas on fc guys? mejo natatakot din kse ako sa after sales ng kia. 3 years lng kse warranty nila unlike tucson 5 years namna though mitsu fuzion is not on this league mejo consider ko din.

[mackoto]

looks din for sportage, ok na rin naman kia ung dealers lng na lang ung worry pag after sales na

one thing i noticed sa sportage, solid ung pinto niya and umiilaw siya pag lock/unlock compared sa tucson

the 5 year warranty is ok sa tingin ko. it will prolong the value of your car pa
