hi guys im starting to love this car pero hindi kaya madali masira itong car na ito? i mean yung madali kumalabog yung sa loob im planning a crv pero nagbago isip ko ng makita ko sportage ganda ng porma hesitant lang ako baka madali lumuwag yung mga accessories sa loob, like other asian cars compared sa quality ng japanese cars, pero on the other hand japanese cars ang mahal naman ng mga parts pag naningil or nasisira na kaya im inclined to have this any idea guys . TIA

For a family car i will choose montero over our sporty, lalo na sabi mo you got two kids with their yayas... that's will be 4 passengers already, plus your wife and you as the driver so 6 person in total? A 7 seater montero sure will be a better family suv. But for your out of town business trip, i'm sure you will enjoy the sporty much more than the montero. So you have to decide which is more important for you.

For fully synthetic it 'can' be change every 10k, as long as it doesn't take too long to reach, since FS oil still have a 'expiration' date. But with unit from CASA you have to follow their recommendation to avoid void of warranty.

Thanks for the replies.

Heavily leaning towards getting the Sportage over non-VGT montero. Iniisip ko na lang, kasya naman kami ngayon sa Jazz, kaya malamang mas kasya kami sa Sportage. Hehe. And most of the time naman, kaming dalawa lang ng wife ko nakasakay. For super long trips with kids and yayas, hiramin ko na lang fortuner ng mom ko. Hehe.


Also, since I'm currently averaging 20,000km per year sa current car ko, looks like malaki matitipid ko if I get the diesel variant. Considering the 10 pesos difference in fuel price, in 2 years bawi ko na yung price difference for the unit. Yung big question mark na lang is the maintenance cost difference.

Si Sir SG, lumalabas PhP 1,700.00 sa 7,5000PMS (free labor), then PhP 4,700.00 sa 15,000 PMS. Halos same ba yung cost for the other Sportage gas owners?

For the diesel owners naman, meron na bang nagpa-PMS? Pa-share naman po kung magkano yung total damage ninyo. Thanks!

Btw, been backreading this thread for almost a week na, medyo malapit ko na matapos from start to end.

I'd suggest the Sportage for you kung 2 kids lang naman. As I always say, buy the car that fits your everyday needs, hindi yung mga rare circumstances lang.

Kung madalas eh 2 lang kayo ng wife mo, why get a 7-seater truck that's nowhere as refined as a Sportage? And ikaw na rin nagsabi, you fit perfectly fine with a Jazz.

Hindi pa siguro nila masasabi, bro.

Ang baba pa ng mileage ng mga Sportage nila

Ngayon nasa 17K na odo nung sa akin. Haha!

[peejabi]

Hehe, okay sir. Pag makakuha na ako ng unit, hahabulin ko mileage mo!

Non CASA ang maintenance ng diesel sporty ko, just gave you an idea... 8L ang require engine oil, so if you plan to put in a good Fully Synthetic oil, outside price is at least 600 or more, sa CASA i remember they charge something like 700 - 800 / Liter for FS, so sa oil pala will cost you something like 4800 - 6400... oil filter pa, labor, other filter/material etc....

Ask SG kung magano exactly cost ng PMS sa CASA since diesel tucson / sportage share the same engine.

[peejabi]

Just called Kia Congressional sir. Tamang tama yung binigay mong range. PhP 742 per liter daw yung FS oil. Ang quote nila for 5K PMS for diesel sportage is PhP 8,200.00

Question, pag 10K, do they allow na top-up lang since 10k naman talaga yung life ng FS oil?

I'm no oil expert, pero base sa mga online reference, pag maganda quality FS oil, 10k or more, basta normal use, not yon 'sunday car' na more than 2years wala pa 10K km.

Pero kung allow o hindi ng top-up sa CASA, ewan ko lang....

[renzo_d10]

Of course if you care less about the warranty, you can do your own PMS. This way, makakatipid ka talaga. Because you don't pay for the labor and you bypass the miscellaneous fees that are added on top of the bill. Then just bring it over to your trusted shop for checking, in case 20k or whatever. Plus, you can use your own preferred oil -- well, you can also use your own oil too on specific CASAs but most of them, though not all, has a corkage fee.

Or, you can bring it over to a gas station then let them do all the changing -- doing this can also bypass the non-essentials to be done to your car courtesy of CASA.

How come its km/L and not L/100? Just curious.

KDM unit siguro yan sir. not the ones from CAC.

Meron ako supplier ng Motul CRDi Specific. Mura lang compared sa mga casa at sa sulit. Kaya kahit every 5000km ako magpalit ng FS oil maligaya parin ako

Ang Motul CRDi Specific maganda talaga. NighthawkGT tried his Motul until 10000km. Syempre top-up lang dun sa 5000km. Maganda parin daw yung quality ng oil. Pwede pa daw i-extend pero syempre palitan na talaga dapat.

Suggestion ko dito, try mo kausapin ng maayos yung casa kung papayagan ka magdala ng sarili mong oil. Alam naman siguro nilang okay ang Motul diba.

Kasi walang tatalo sa CRDi pag pinahataw mo. Hindi mo na papansinin na masakit ang maintenance. Haha! Bonus na rin diyan yung matipid sa crudo at mas mura ang crudo kesa gas.
