2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[fleas2016]

whoa ! very nice fc. anu ave speed no nyan sir ? malamang mag improve pa yan pag tagal tagal....nice !!!! Ako ave ko is 11l/100km mixed %40 city %60 highway daily route sa offce via slex.

most likely inconclusive pa to. wala pang 100 kms eh break-in period pa ko so alternating before 30 - 80 kph and not going over 3000 rpm. tapos more like 80% highway to 20% city yan.

[Starex_Gold]

You can drive above 100km/h sir. As long as you won't exceed 3000RPM. Ganun ginawa ko sa ibang CRDi cars namin. Paalala lang, nakaka-adik ihataw ang R-eVGT 3000RPM lang nasa 165km/h to 170km/h na yan.

Anyway, kanina nagpa PMS ako sa Kia Congressional. Accommodating ang mga tao doon. Ka-kwentuhan ko pa yung COO nila. Nasa P4,700 lang yun bill.

Engine oil, oil filter, at aircon filter lang pinalitan. P1,500 yung labor.

Napa-program ko na rin yung speed sensing door locks at auto door unlock. Tsaka pina-reset ko yung aircon sa ECU kasi minsan hindi lumalamig, same na sakit ng mga Tucson with manual aircon controls.

Overall, very satisfied with Kia Congressional's service. Highly recommended

[eido]

Sir SG sakit ba ng mga korean cars yung sa aircon? Pati ba sa SF applicable yung aircon reset sa ecu? Thanks

Hi Sir, if we would do an apples-to-apples comparison of the in-house (with freebies and upgrades) vs. bank loan (acquiring the same items from a third party), mas mura pa din ang bank loan.

Take sa case mo sir:

Sportage price ...... 1,158,000
Less: DP .............. (347,400)
Loanable amount ... 810,600

Monthly amortization for 3 years .... 29,000 ------ total payments for 3yrs (29K x 36 months) = 1,044,000
Interest rate (1,044,000 / 810,600) = 28.79% (rounded)

Sa bank naman (same figures) except for:
Monthly amortization for 3 years .... 25,500 ------ total payments for 3yrs (25.5K x 36 months) = 918,000
Interest rate (918,000 / 810,600) = 13.25% (rounded)

Dito sa computation na ito sir kita mo na agad: 1,044,000 vs. 918,000... A difference of 126K. Then analyze natin ung mga freebies mo:

Insurance ....
Chattel .....
3 yrs LTO...
TPL...
Upgraded HU w/back camera ...
Visor .....
Matting ....

Try mo sir lagyan ng individual prices ito at bear in mind kung ano ang exclusive na kasama na item kapag naginhouse ka. example: pag naginhouse ka may matting... pag nag bank loan ka ba may matting din ba? kung meron hindi mo dapat isama sa analysis mo.

Assume natin na 70K ung freebies na meron ka kapag naginhouse ka. compare mo sa 126K na difference (inhouse vs. bank loan) for a 3 year period eh may 56K ka pa na savings...

Ako ang ginawa ko nagloan ako thru Metrobank, got my own insurance from a third party. Freebies I got were:
- discount of 10K off the purchase price
- 3 years LTO
- Seatcover (corduroy)
- Rain gutters (complete set)
- 3M Tint (complete including full windshield)
- Floor mats
- 1000 pesos worth of gas

I paid 500K as downpayment and financed the rest with monthly amortization of 13,800 for 5 yrs. Alam ko na obvious na mas mataas sa inhouse pero i still made a computation like what I suggested sau sir. Of course kapag sa inhouse ka ang number one mo naman kasi na binabayaran (i hope other tsikoteers would agree, hehehe) is yung convenience. Kasi ako medyo matagal bago ko maasikaso lahat ng kailangan kasi wala akong agent na magaasikaso for me. pag inhouse kasi like ung sa friend ko...usap sila nung umaga, nung hapon nakuha na niya ang innova nya. Yun ang price na binabayaran mo...Kung you are willing to go thru the hustle of dealing and completing all of the requirements and have a lot of patience then i suggest mag bank loan ka sir. and besides ung 50K++ na savings on your end is worth a lot...

Hope this helps sir! Good luck!

congrats jeffhoi23

Yes, all units have that. It's supposed to protect against scratches from small projectiles (stones, rocks, etc) while driving at high speed. I had mine removed right away when I had New Car Paint Protection done at Big Bert's. If you have it removed much later, you will notice a discrepancy in the paint color of the covered area since it was not exposed to the elements. Esp if the unit is white like mine

[fleas2016]

i see thanks! maybe i'll do what you did. it's collecting dirt and grime sa edges how much did you pay for the new car paint protection service for a sportage * big bert's? would you recommend it? may noticeable effect ba?

[Starex_Gold]

Sir SG sakit ba ng mga korean cars yung sa aircon? Pati ba sa SF applicable yung aircon reset sa ecu? Thanks

I don't know kung sakit talaga yan ng Korean cars. Sa Tucson, Santa Fe at Starex kasi hindi ko na-experience yan. Sa Sportage lang at Optra (which is made in Korea)

[Starex_Gold]

Paint protection is necessary if you don't wax your car like an addict.

Ako kasi I wax every week and wash twice a week.

Magandang araw po. Balak po sana naming bumili ng Sportage by July and pinagpipilian pa namin yung 2WD or AWD 2.0 Theta II. Based po kami sa Baliuag and regular po kaming umaakyat ng Baguio. Tanong ko lang po sana kung walang problema sa 2WD yung pag akyat ng Baguio with full load. Concern ko din kasi yung FC ng AWD. Salamat po

get the R-eVGT (2.0 CRDi) 4x2 Sportage.

[legrev]

get the R-eVGT (2.0 CRDi) 4x2 Sportage.

Thanks for the quick reply sir. Actually gusto ko din talaga yung CRDI 4x2 kaya lang di ako sigurado kung kaya ko pang i-stretch yung budget ko to 1.290 Pinaka swak sa budget ko yung Theta na 4x2 kaya lang di pa ako sure kung sufficient po sya for full load na pag akyat ng Baguio. First car din po sana namin ni misis ito

ayun lang. pero you won't probably need the AWD kung sa baguio lang. besides, the AWD system will only be part time and is triggered when front wheels slip. there is an AWD lock button where the distribution of power will become equal on all wheels but it will only work until 30kph, then at above 40 kph, it will be cancelled and return to 4x2 mode.

on our AWD Sorento, di pa nagagamit yang AWD even driving to mountains (w/ roads). added weight lang siya sa vehicle.hehe. although never driven the theta-II, iba parin talaga the R-eVGT engine specially when driving long distances and the torque it provides is just spectacular specially sa inyo sir regular trips kayo sa baguio. yun nga lang you have to shell more money and expect higher maintenance costs. pero since you consider the AWD sportage. onti nalang strech (40k) R-eVGT na. 4x2 nga lang.

Thanks for the input sir. Very much appreciated. Hopefully makaya pa ng budget yung R-eVGT. Back-read din muna ako para ma timbang ko yung pros and cons ng theta at r-evgt. Salamat po.

Sir i dont think magkaka prob ka sa thetta II engine pag akyat ng baguio with full load, pero kung kaya mo pa i stretch ng another 100+ thou ang budget kung akyatan lang din naman edi mas ok talaga mag R-evtg kana. More torque, more power, more satisfaction hehehe

[Daison77]

Hi mga sirs, just wanna share my Sporty a.k.a SDF1







confirmed na na may gasgas nga yung salamin pero yung iba nasagitna ng tint and nasa glass itself, yung 1 scratch makakapa mo sa outside pag hinimas mo mabuti its either sa casa palang meron na nito hindi ko lang napansin kasi nag blend sa 3m tint nila. Lumabas at mas nakita lang ito after matuyo ng husto yung super dark tint. Mukhang mapapalaban ako sa CASA nito bukas.

So sa mga kukuha, check your new sporty ng husto. ako na check ko lang yung body and paint, so nalagpasan ko i check salamin heheheheh. But im very happy with my sporty , seatcover hitay ko baka next week from Lether1 dito sa BF homes para matangggal na yung mga plastic sa loob

Ang ganda talaga ng Sportage, I parked beside a white unit a while ago.

Bago pa yung kanya, TMI-***

Then couple of cars ahead was a white Tucson naman. I never thought I'd say this but I do like the Sportage more than the Tucson in terms of overall aesthetic appearance. 4x2 comparison ha.

Maybe because sobrang dami na ng Tucson sa daan and medyo onti palang mga Sportage? :lol: I don't know. Hehehe.

*Daison: Are your rain gutters chrome?

yan din ang sa akin ser, noong una mas impressive ang design sa akin ang tucson pero ngayon parang gumaganda ang tingin ko sa sportage habang tumatagal. ewan ko lang din... feeling ko hindi naman ako biased

[Daison77]

*renzo : black lang rain gutters ko sir, freebie ng casa. White was my 2nd choice, kasi ang ganda din ng white Sportage, mas lalo na pag malinis and makintab, champion !!!

[renzo_d10]

Akala ko chrome, sir..
Baka sa angle lang ng camera.

Pansin ko lang stock horns pa po gamit niyo. I'd suggest palitan niyo maski Fiamm AM80 (what I use right now). I bought it March 2010 for 700 pesos, I'm a horn happy person, pero gumagana pa rin until now. Walang paos or signs of ageing.

Pot-pot pa yung tunog. Hehe.
