Exterior, I like the front design. I tested drive it on highway and heard some noise at the back ( might be the rear tyre ). The steering is very responsive that if you turn it a bit to left or right, you can feel the car move to the direction where the steering goes. I really want to test it on hilly road, but didnt have chance. Actually, I intent to buy it , but still make calculation. I don,t care about resale value because car is not for making profit but making our pocket empty. So, buy and use it till it can’t be use ha3…. By looking at this car, the maintenace is not so much like old design car. For me, It is simple car actualy. Except for the electronic system. I have many experience with my pajero v34. Broke and i fix it by myself. I dont know perfomance of this car on hilly road, so anyone who has experience drive this car before especially on hilly condition please shere your experience. Thanks

If me, Peter should design something similar to the little sibling Kia Sportage rear end. That looks much better. The interior is top notch. I found this new one has less angular angles from previous model. So far the Kia Sorento including this model already had two facelift one for each year since introduction of this uni-body model. The most compare other Kia model design by Peter.

Everything people say about bumpy ride is true. Apart from that the car is OK. But I would still rather have a CR-V for the brand and the resale value

Im just reminding some smart alecs who keep trying to peddle nonsense resale value excuses here, not to keep being stupid. And the same applies to you as well Kiasu. Likewise, the admins aren’t keen to listen to your outdated contraptions and childish arguements.

he ask himself every time he deposits the cash: “why am i paying so much for this useless junk that cost a fortune but is outclassed, outperformed and outdated compared to the koreans?”

the era of jap cars are already over….no doubt about it. only fools will continue to dream about resale value.

Is our diesel compatible? Juz look at BMW n Pug, dare to launch their oil burners here even with lower tune n lesser power than overseas…we all dun mind if slightly less power n torque not 431nm even 400nm is amazing already…for example fd2r is not getting 225hp due to ron97 oso still a beast…
Diesel is the future…modern oil burners are less polluting than petrol engines too….carmakers need to bring in more of these here and not be left behind..

And Malaysia is 27th. So how’s the price in US compared to Malaysia?

And indonesia, our close neighbour, is the 20th biggest producer of oil in the world.. So hows the price of oil in indonesia compared to Malaysia.
