Come on, Kia, you can do better than that. Try blue or some other color. The orange display is definitely a big turnoff for me. Come on, Kia, you can do better than that.

From day one (1) the car swings to the left. I was forced to take the car back to KIA workshop for rectification. Unfortunately KIA was unable to rectify it. The Workshop Manager finally told me that "KIA car - its like that lah". I wrote several letters to KIA Korea but never recieve any reply. I highly recommend you buy a Toyota or Honda although it is more expensive. I have consistently receive excellent services from Honda / Toyota. NAZA and especially KIA - has a poor record & reputation when dealing with their customers. I bought a KIA Sportage around 2002. From day one (1) the car swings to the left.

Same as other japanese imports like harrier and murano. Even if you splurge on a lexus @ RM380k, it will be worth only about RM250 after three years maybe and only RM190k after 5. You will lose more money than buying the kia sorento, as taxes are minimal if you buy a naza, just like buying a proton. lexus rx350 may be good, but not worth to buy in malaysia due to taxes and AP's.

in the US the japanese ( T,H and N) are all suffering around 50% decline in sales while the koreans only drop a few percent…less than 5% if i'm not mistaken

Still remember the Hyundai Excel 20 years ago and how now they come up with the beautiful "i" series. The same goes with Kia. In fact for Kia, their February sales globally is down by 0.3% compares to others that are floundering. So what if the design studio is in Europe, if that's where they can come up with the best design & saleable.... why not ..... They have improved because they understand and listen to customer.... that is fact. Sorry guys.... I am not a Kia salesman but I used to drive the new Sportage for 3 years, sincerely it was better than japanese made that I had previously and i had an enjoyable memories with it, even save my life in an accident. So just tired of all negative comment. Maybe because here in malaysia we got all the 'Passe" models couple with the quality of local assembly partner. Enough...say my peace Amazing, isn't it how we like to look down upon the korean. Still remember the Hyundai Excel 20 years ago and how now they come up with the beautiful "i" series.
