High F.C. (Fuel Consumption)Originally posted by CarDreamer:Hi

You will walk alone ! -
Even the salesman told me 9km/l... and they tend to not tell the total truth. So in truth, maybe what? 7.5? 8 max?

The first generation Sportage was a huge success overseas. Not sure abt the 2nd Gen....but should be more refined...most of the Koreans SUVs are quite value for money. The TUCSON, the Santa Fe, all quite good....
As for fuel consumption, aiyah..SUVs all petrol guzzers la....my Touareg can finish $100 worth of petrol in 2-3 days...!! -
You should say the distance rather than days to talk abt fuel consumption. If not, I can say my mercs so economical, 20 days only $30 (cos 19 days I park in my villa)..whahahaOriginally posted by VW King:The first generation Sportage was a huge success overseas.

Anywayz, Kia... u should heard enough of the car... -
heard Kia Sporage is developed using the same platform same the Hyundai tuncai, ie the SUV. Drink gasoline like water was wat the review says.
Engine reliablity so so as new engine.. and no track record..
(Although some rumoured Kia is using Hyundai Trajet engine)
At today's petrol prices, if you could afford it, it's gd value for a SUV. but you will need to pump more regularly for long distances.. So plan yr route carefully..

Went to test dirve the Tucson and Sportage yesterday.
IMHO - The Tucson has better acceleration, a quiter cabin, and is a smoother ride. The Sportage also loses out in build quality (which probably accounts for the cabin noise).
Quite sad really, seeing how the Sportage is the newer of the two. Kia needs to put more thought into overall quality of their cars. Even if they are (initially) cheap, the long term costs of owning a poorly made car can creep up on you. -
66,999 it's great figure, though it reminds some orgy
out of small size/cross over SUVs, this is one of the best design(esp. cobalt blue with two tone) let anlone value for money. I'm weighing between new sonata and sportage now. is anyone driving this? -
9km/L is okay for a SUV liao ma....Mine is also liddat for normal driving....but when u drive hard it can go down to abt 6+km/l...Originally posted by Bloop...:Even the salesman told me 9km/l... and they tend to not tell the total truth. So in truth, maybe what? 7.5? 8 max?
