Just speculations from spy shots.

Ah ok, I still prefer ours, I'm tired of the boxy looks of most CUVs, SUVs and PPVs.

Only the Mazda CX-5 can rival the Sporty's looks, IMHO.

How does your Sporty do in cornering? As I recall, the dampers are enhanced, better than the other variants

Compared with my Rav4 before sir Bloo, much better, I can feel how the tires and suspension just hugs the road.

A lot less body roll too, whenever I enter and exit tool booths with those wide curves. I sometimes take them at high speeds if I'm alone in the car. hihihi.

Ah, I think it’s better than mine. Although, aside from the body roll in corners (that I manage w/ down shifts & engine braking) probably the smoothest & most comfortable cars Ive owned.

It's one of the first things I noticed compared with my Ravie, I was never comfortable with how much roll it was producing, I had to use a significant amount of force just to keep the car in the right line of the curve.

Not with the Sporty though, it feels firm and very stable. The tires are a great help too, for sure.

Hankook 245/45/19 's are very grippy.

And some say Korean cars are not good, if only after sales service will improve in some areas, there's no doubt that this will slice a large chunk of sales from jap cars.

They should look at how KIA cars, specifically the Sportage, is selling in North America and many European countries.

Sales are at par with most Jap and even American counterparts.

Owner satisfaction is quite good.

Prevalent parin kasi sa ibang kababayan natin yung misconception na mababa ang quality ng Korean cars compared to Japs and other brands. Quite the opposite now. Just take a look at how Ford is doing and also Chevrolet, among others?

Of course I'm biased. Hehehe.

They might need a change of underwear Master E. [emoji16]

Or at least have a stiff drink right afterwards.

I would love to drive that thing all the way to Pagudpud on the TPLEX with no toll booths and enforcers along the way, hehehe.
