2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[kiatkiat]

NagPMS ako sa Kia Acropolis. Superb service from Aiko and Ems. Hinatid pa ako sa eastwood mall ng service car.


Pakabit ako ng stepboard, taillight and headlight chrome plus additional light sa taillight...very accomodating shop.

sa Maspro yung stepboard and chrome...

Wow! sir KiatKiat, ang gwapo ni Sporty! Very nice.

Okay ba kumuha ng Sportage sa grey market gaya ng mga benta Han cars or sa local dealers nalang?

[Starex_Gold]

Ako na ata may pinaka-mataas na mileage?

[suysuy]

count me in

[Whiteysporty]

Sir SG, ilang months na po Sporty nyo? I bought my Sporty last Nov 25, Nasa less than 3000km po yung mileage ngayon nung sa akin, pero i'm scheduled to have my 1st PMS next month (march) kasi sabi ng CASA 7,500km or 4 months whichever comes first. Medyo malayo layo pa po ako sa 7,500km, although i'm planning to have my check up mga 3rd week of March para magamit ko pa. Ok lang po ba na di umabot sa tamang mileage ung pagpapachange oil ko? Thanks po.

^ Hindi nakatiis!

Congratulations bro! Haha!

Bakit hindi mineral silver?

Nung August 4, 2011 kinuha yung Sportage.

I follow the mileage, not the number of months

City driving yan sir. 7.3km/L average. Pwede na. Hehehe..

Guys, ung 2012 sportage deluxe 2.4L lang ba ung may sunroof compared sa other trims? I'd like to ask if it's worth it for that price too. Thanks!

Sir Kiatkiat,

Mga Sir, Patulong naman po kasi by Summer bibili kami ng New Car and it's our very first own car.
Choices namin is Toyota Avanza (G)2012 model, Kia Sportage,Hyundai tucson. Toyota Innova sana pero masyadong mahaba. Kung Practicality sir do you recomend Toyota Avanza the newly designed? at ung sa Sportage naman nababasa ko dito sa Forum, Malakas daw sa Gas. Any suggestions mga sir? budget is around 800-1.2-3.


TIA

Since your budget range can accommodate the purchase of all the vehicles that you mentioned, I assume that this will not be a major issue in your final decision.

Seems your interest is more on the FC and Maintenance Cost of the vehicle... I would go for the 2012 Toyota Avanza 1.5G. Otherwise, go for Kia Sportage or Toyota Innova (For Hyundai Tucson... read the threads concerning issues with the brand and make for yourt guidance).

I suggest that you write down all the important things that you need and want in a vehicle. Then rank those needs and wants accordingly.
After that, do a comparative matrix of the various vehicles that you are considering... There you can see what matches your needs and wants. Better yet, you can give points or percentage for each need or wants.

Example:
1. Highest Mileage/L = 50%/100
2. Cheapest Maintenance = 10%/100
3. Looks / Porma / Dating = 10%/100

This will give you a more concrete view of what vehicle is right for you.

Hope this helps.... This is what I did before i finally decided to get a 2012 Toyota Avanza 1.5G (This is based on my own needs and wants).

Hope this will help you decide.

PS. If this is a family car... i suggest that you ask all your family members to provide input then add those inputs to reflect your over all family needs and wants...

Mine is KDM diesel unit so its comes with HID on low beam, the local one is with halogen on both high and low beam, don't know with the local deluxe/limited one. 4300K is the standard (yellowish) stock color not the white shade one, and you are right, its the most useful one. or 3000K super yellow for fog .... fog lamps i think is the 880/ H27 bulb, correct me if i'm wrong.

local deluxe comes with halogen high and low beams fyi...

[chefcook]

Sa AWD model lang (and KDM models like wahzai's) merong instrument panel dimmer. Wala talaga ang 2WD model

weird... walang instrument panel dimmer yung dlx unit ko...

[Whiteysporty]

Mga KaSporty, plan ko po sana palitan ang Emblem ng Unit ko, may alam po ba kayo kung san pwedeng bumili, ung R sana ang ipapalit ko. Thank you.
