I forgot where I read this (in the net) but you are correct the new sorento will be bigger and with 3rd row pero 2009 pa yata (sa Korea lalabas). Magiging kasing laki na yata ng sorento yung sta fe and will be in the same class. Parang sportage is to tucson as sorento is to sta fe.

ganda ng facelifted Sorento with the revised taillights. meron pa syang reflector sa bumpers ala Mazda3/6.

btw, the next Sorento looks like a stretched Toyota FJ Cruiser based on the concept vehicle.

Hi everyone, just warming up this thread, Jeanpierre, how are you and your beloved Sorento?

[Djerms]

Otep,

Is Ziebart and/or BigBert's cheaper and better compared to casa?

Based on experience, Big Berts is cheaper compared to other high end detailing shops. They also provide better service. Ang guwapo pa ni fafa vince.

Hi everyone, just warming up this thread, Jeanpierre, how are you and your beloved Sorento?

Happy new year gregg_g, to all satisfied Sorento owners at syempre to all tsikoteers!
I'm doing good and my Sorento is still going strong and trouble-free after all those ro-ro round trips to Panay island which I did before christmas and after the new year. Na ikot ko na ang Panay island dahil sa business ni misis na FERN-C. I've logged 21,200Kms now on my Sorento at no trouble or whatsoever except for some dents dahil sa tama ng mga bato dahil grabe and daan ngayon sa mindoro and was really raining heavily pa. Daming pot holes pa nadaan but amazing walang kalampag pa rin. How about you, musta na? This time testing ko performance ng Isuzu Alterra with my Sorento. Kayang kaya palang iwanan...hehehe

Hi Jeanpierre,

Long time no hear... Congratulations, did my 5 change oil na, its already 22k, btw, have u had your fuel fiter change? Better change it na, change it na. Also, got already a pdf copy of our manual, just pm me if you want, the only not so good about it is, there is no info about the CRDI engine...

jeanpierre,

Meron bang speed sensing autolock ang unit mo? I just got my unit last Dec 06. Mine doesn't have. I wonder if the dealers can program it?

Thanks

[Horsepower]

pakabit mo yung computer console tapos check mo kung may option. Sa SantaFe ganun lang pinagawa ko, 20kph ang lowest. Halos iisa lang siguro program nyan since binili ng Hyundai ang KIA years ago. In short, cousins ang cars ng Hyundai and KIA. hehehe.

gregg_g, nag pa fuel filter change na rin ako to be sure. It cost me 4,600 pesos for the fuel filter if di ako nagkakamali.

Hi pidyong, yeah meron speed sensing autolock ang unit ko. It activates at 40kph. I think meron din autolock option yang unit mo. Let your casa check it and pa activate mo sa kanila. Tama sabi ni horsepower.
