New Kia Sportage Owner

**xtremerider** · April 29th, 2010 11:20 AM

Greetings Fellow sportagian...

Since some of us owns this model, I've seen a growing numbers of sportage on the road and maybe it's time to have a club just like the others so we can promote camaraderie, fun run and EB...

Waiting for your inputs and suggestion...

sa totoo lang dumadami na nga sportage sa kalye. its kinda cool seeing more people going for the sportage. winner talaga na diesel sya! if only kia philippines can offer more such as nav, stability control, and better interior kahit magbayad ng extra.

So far with regards to the interior trim, I find it more simple but clean compare to other brand with so many bling bling. GPS Navigation can be install in our unit as long as the HU is an LCD with GPS connection capability. I change my HU with a Touch screen LCD with GPS connection but it's not included since it must be avail to a third party provider with monthly bill.

Stability control! AFAIK, the present model has it. They call it Traction control in the 4x4 variant.

Even the old sportage model i must say is as reliable as we expect. I'm a previous driver / user of the old sportage model way back when i was in the middle east.

Hope the rest of the owner are satisfied with their decission to own this model...

TCS ata traction control. talaga meron? we just bought our 4x4 crdi sportage last september. since when nila in-offer yung may traction control na tcs? haha

Maraming features ang nadagdag...

Gen 2 (2008 Below ) / Gen2 ( 2009 up)

Rear Brake: Drum Brake / Disk Brake
Airbag: None / Driver & front passenger
Fog Light: Rectangular type / Circular or oval
ABS: both have
TCS: Wala / Some meron....Depende daw sa dealer, dagdag presyo...

Check the dealer...kse when I tried to get the 4x2 variant, meron silang stock sa showroom na wala sa nabanggit ko sa itaas na comparisson. They even offer me to get the existing model daw ng 2009 pero gagawan nila ng paraan na lagyan ng airbag yong driver side pero drum break pa din...hehehe! but i disagree at nag antay na lang ng fresh model from the cargo. Same price but with added features...

congrats sir, just got ours this April. So far, step boards, window visor(rain deflector) not really sure kung ano tawag, rear spoiler and leather seats pa lang ang nadagdag. have called kia pasig and wala na din silang stock nung mud guards (need ko 2 for rear).

were thinking of upgrading to an LCD screen at least we would have an idea na since, xtremerider had already done it.

will check on this thread for any new updates...

*Added tint ( Pinapatunga ko pa yong orig 3m tint ) plus a full front wind shield tint magic gray...

Additional mods in the future:

*Head light and fog light HID conversion kit...
*Race chip ( added horse power )
*Adjustable cargo cover at the back.

*lucky...congrats sa dad mo...he's a proud sportage owner!

Dun sa mga ibang owner na walang feature na ganyan, you can still install it...

Chrome door handle set, Step Board, Front bumper guard at Rain gutter are available at Kia Pasig...Yong backing camera can also install if you have the LCD screen...Sakin di ko pinalagyan dahil mag bubutas pa sila sa rear bumper. This added feature are the market freebies ng ibang dealer kse di lahat ng dealer pareho ang specs sa freebies.
