New Kia Sportage

[AntonM]

Uy di ko alam to a. could you share more info on this? I am about to finalize the deal this week. Ang pinagpipilian ko na lang is yung color while I am waiting for the PO from the bank. any more info i should know about? TIA

The 1st release of the Sportage crdi 4wd had traction control TC. When I was buying my unit last December, there was still 1 last remaining unit at Kia-Wheels E Rodriguez, but I decided to get my unit from Signet due the discount they gave me, since insurance was paid for by my company. I got the 4wd crdi unit without traction control and I am very happy with it! No regrets about not having TC which one needs only on ultra slippery roads (e.g., snow covered), and one less mechanism to worry about with maintenance and repair costs. The 4wd mechanism is more than sufficient - I regularly drive up to Tagaytay and driven once to Baguio.

seems lahat ng mga sportage owners e satisfied na satisfied. ok talaga tong sportage. nakita ko tong crash test ng sportage sa page 15. sabi eh it got a 5 star rating daw.

lalo tuloy akong bumulib san sportage. but there are many questions playing in my mind right now. kasi sa last na tingin ko sa sportage dito sa amin eh di masyado matigas ang shell. yung dad ko naman, that time, e wala paring tiwala sa sportage kasi nga daw korean suv. hindi matibay. totoo ba ang crash test nato? i mean talaga bang euroncap ang nag conduct? pareho lang ba yan sa mga models natin dito sa pinas? kung totoo yan, naku talagang bilib na ako sa sportage. biruin mo? hindi na galaw ang cabin? at kitang kita naman sa vid na malakas talaga ang impact kasi umangat ang back part ng kotse. kahit walang srs eh safe na safe ang mga pasahero. kaysa dun sa cheap na chery tiggo. may srs at abs nga pero sirang sira naman sa crash test nya.

ah ganun pala. what do you exaclty mean by "pasok sa euro 4 kasi recyclable ang kaha"? the isuzu alterra i think is at euro 2 0r 3. but im sure na hindi siya euro 4 compliant. so mas magandA pa ang sportage kaysa sa alterra?

ah sir ace, hindi po ako nagbabalak na bumili ng sportage. kung family car naman, mga 7 seater suv ang type namin. kung bibigyan ako ng tsikot ng dad ko, edi dito na ako sa sportage! sir im just a 1st yr HS student. kung pde lang akong magkalisensya edi y not? sportage is a great car. i love the korean's crdi engine whether its a hyun or kia. they're great.

sir sportage owner ka ba?
sa mga sportage owners jan, meron akong nakita sa pitstop sito sa CDOC na chrome accents set na pde ikabit sa sportage nyo. i think its worth 3k. medyo masakit nga lng sa pitaka. pero maganda siya huh. may chrome accents sa steering wheel, sa shift knob, sa aircon etc. nakalimutan ko lang yung ilan... pero maganda siya..

I would have to agree with RST619 ... libis folks (yung nasa may silvercity), are very accomodating and very easy to talk to.

[mqavila]

Wow! Nice ride, bro rst619! I love the black body color! :D

I also have to agree... I was very happy with the way the people at Kia Libis treated me when I inquired with them - but since I'm a family man, Im planning on getting the Carens instead...

Hi bro! Umm... assuming your post was a serious one (I cant tell hehe), what's "clay" and what's "Nxt 2.0"?

[rst619]

bro clay means detailing clay and Nxt 2.0 means Meguiar NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 po
