Is it just me or the dash is too high? I mean i'm not that small (5'6") and i'm kinda feeling that it's either the driver seat is way too low or the dash is just high.

And the electric power steering feels too light and a tad numb.

Plus, don't you get blocked by the right A pillar too much when you're turning right in the sense that you don't know whether you're gonna hit curb or what?

May be you are used to those much bigger suv like fortuner or montero, where you have a really high driver level view and a real heavy steering. True the EPS on the KDM unit feels light as compare to traditional power steering but its a relaxing drive especially in traffic and tight parking, never want to drive the fort again. For me the dash is just fine. Seat height is adjustable, i've it set to just middle height and i'm not taller than you are.

The A pillar is something to be concern. Need more attention when turning, something need to used to.

yung A pillar plus huge side mirrors can give us a blind spot when turning right hehehe konting adjustment nalang saatin and some getting used to and pagiingat para iwas tama sa mga gutters.

My friends are teasing me if I can see the road or if I can even step on the pedals because I'm only 5"2'. I used to drive my dad's ford escape 2011 and took me few days to get used to it since I can barely see the hood. I feel the same way when driving the sportage, i can barely see the hood even if the seat height adjustment is already maxed out :D. you'll get used to it .

About the pillars, I almost hit a car making a u-turn because of this blind spot. I guess the work around for this is just to be more cautious when making a turn.

Just sharing


I had my new car paint protection done by Big Bert's yesterday.

Great service!


Question:
I just noticed that there are watermarks inside my headlight enclosure - one side only. Is there a way to clean it or is this covered by the warranty?

[sparcom2]

Tahimik ba sa expressway ang nankang sir?

[Starex_Gold]

Tahimik ba sa expressway ang nankang sir?

Yes, kahit papano. It's slightly noisier than our stock Kumho Solus.

[sparcom2]

May 235 60 18 ba ang nankang SP-7?

[Starex_Gold]

May 235 60 18 ba ang nankang SP-7?

Nankang SP-5 yun may 235/60/R18 bro.

I still see your Sorento around Makati, ganda talaga bro

[sparcom2]

Subukan ko yung nankang, naiingayan kasi ako sa gulong ko ngayon. Goodyear fortera HL. parang AT kaya maingay sa expressway. Nakakahiya nga yung sorento ko bro. Yung LED tail lights corner lamp lang yung may full stop light, yung inner lamp park lights lang. Hehehe pinatingin ko na din kay sir benjie wala pa rin.

[ratchet23]

Bought my tires from Ben's O.K banawe, mura lang din ang Nankang sa kanila. Seriously, I have no intention to buy the Nankang.. Baka kasi sabihin ng ibang tao ka-mahal ng Tucson ko tapos Nankang lang ang tires.. Kaso okay daw at malaki ang savings ko, so pinatulan ko muna. Travelled over a thousand km now, the Nankang SP-7 is surprisingly good. First choice ko talaga is Falken 912 235/50/R18 * 9700/ piece.



Upgraded the size from 225/55/R18 to 235/55/R18.

Ilan naba mileage ng premium mo parang ang aga ata nagpalit ng tires? 31000 kms na yung Solus sa sorento makapal pa. Problema dami ng butas.haha.

Siguro naka 25k savings nako using 2 sets Nankang NS-II 17s sa vios compared kung yokohama A drives. Ayaw ko lang yung Road Noise audible talaga tsaka pag luma na yung Nankang di smooth yung pag full turn. Sinisisi ko pa yung EPS ng vios dati dahil sa rough turns tas nung bagong set ng Nankang smooth na ulit yung mga turns.

Actually mababa pa. 24K nung mapalitan, 25,600 ngayon. Magaling kasi yung erpats ko nung hiniram, hindi napansin running flat pala siya. Pagdating dito sa bahay mga 13kms siyang tumakbo na flat. So sira na yung isang Solus ko.

Sira plano ko eh, dapat pag naubos lahat, sabay sabay kong papalitan ng Falken 235/50/18 or palit na ng bagong mags ang masakit niyan ako pa nagbayad :hammer:

Sir, how much po inabot ng Nankang tires?

[Starex_Gold]

Thanks for the info SG!

No problem

Sir, how much po inabot ng Nankang tires?

5,500 bigay nila sa akin. Sabi pa nga, dagdag nalang daw ako ng 17,500 (set of 4) tapos kukunin niya yung old tires ko.

Kaso sinubukan ko lang itong Nankang kaya 2 tires muna. Hehe

Thanks Sir. Ok naman ang Nankang, maganda naman feedback so far.

[Whiteysporty]

Pag paakyat po ba ang ating Sporty lalo na sa Baguio, mas maganda bang gamitin yung Manual mode nya? Di ko pa po kasi natatry gamitin.
