2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[11Finger]

hi guys, was planning to buy a Sportage AT 2WD gas or a Tucson AT 2WD gas but after looking at the units and reading the posts here I am now leaning towards the Sportage CRDi. I have a few questions which I hope you guys can help:

1. I'm planning to pay via bank loan (meaning it's cash to dealer) what's the best offer I can get ? So far I think it's 10k discount plus usual free stuff (tint, matting and seat cover).

2. How much is the OEM head unit if bought from casa ? I assume it has bluetooth and can play divx/avi/mpg videos ? If I change the head unit to the OEM one will I still be able to use the steering wheel remote and the usb slots (near the cigarette lighter). I read somewhere the brand of the OEM HU is Motevo ?

3. how much is the average maintenance so far for the CRDi ? I have a montero and so far maintenance costs have been high so this is one of the downsides I see with the CRDi

4. any suggestions on which dealer I should buy from ?

5. I plan on getting head rest monitor also from Casa, how much is this ? I assume the head rest is leather only so I would have to buy leather seat cover (any good seat covers out there aside from seatmate) ?

Thanks in advance...

Sirs need your valued opinions. My sporty turned 2 mos old last week but has only clocked 630km so far. At the rate I am going it will take a year to get to 7500km.
My question is fuven this, when should I take it for its first PMS?

[peejabi]

Baligtad tayo sir. Mine is 1 month 2 days, pero 1986km na. I'm thinking of using our other car twice or thrice a week, or else, baka maging suki ako sa casa.

Baka due for cleaning na ang EGR. puno na ng carbon kaya nagsstall. May loss of power ba?

Sir, go for Kia Las Pinas. I wasn't able to get 10k discount but the head unit upgrade was free. It comes with bluetooth, gps and reverse camera.

Haven't had my PMS yet but it's looking like 6-8k per 5000km.

They charged me 9,500 for the headrest monitor. For the leather seats, I got it from seatmate for 6k.

Isn't 6 to 8k too much? I was told by a dealer that it costs 4 to 6k. And to think they want it serviced every 3-4 months. I'm planning to get a CRDI but service this expensive and this often is making me reconsider.

guys, is it true na yung Sportage sa plant pa lang meron na tint ? I was asking to remove the tint as part of the freebies pero di raw matangal...

I might be one of the first CRDi owners that already had their first PMS. My 5000 kms PMS was exactly 4,748.20 Php. Details are in the Kia PMS thread. The owner's manual specifically states that for severe conditions PMS must be 5000 kms or 6 months.

yep, CBU including tint from Korea.

Pwede naman alisin yun kasamang tint eh.. 3M BC35 lang naman yan walang kwenta.

Nakakahiya ba yung logo ng Kia at nagsisi-palitan kayo ng logo?

Yup saw the tint na most likely papatangal ko, but the thing is kung wala tint in the first place baka I could have requested for a different freebie...

[11Finger]

btw, am getting my unit tomorrow (black CRDi) any tips, things to watch out for before I accept the unit ?

Sir SG, personally , yes hahaha. Totoo, sabi ko buy ako ng Sportage pero yung name na Kia lang ang ayaw ko. Kaya sobrang natuwa ako nung makita ko yung K badge. Mas naging class at maporma pa ang dating.

[peejabi]

Yes, but the software installed is more updated compared to the one in the video.

Sir, I got those freebies even if I didn't get their in-house financing. Just to be clear. Hehe

Sir, regarding the mic, common feedback ng kausap ko, naiintindihan naman pero quality is not so good.

For the tv, don't even bother. Ang pangit ng signal reception.

*sir SG, almost perfect naman yung Sportage, except lang sa brake dust/noise and brand. Hehe
