i think its because the car is still new and still havent run in yet....probably after the 1st service should be better...do let us know once u have done ur service and tested the fc yea.... 

i did ask the shop do this for me too before this...
After stick it not really like it finally taken out...

no issue at all...
if got issue early early member already post here asking for help or suggestion...
when i get my car the only weakness which bother me is the sound insulation...
But that can be solve by money so not an issue also...
FC city driving is around 11-12L/100km but clarify with few members its around that so consider normal
Sound system is equally cheap although got 6speaker, but change to better one will solve the issue
18inch wheel is a bit heavy for our 2.0 engine so pickup will get a bit sluggish..other then than its adequate for city drive..
A lot blind spot especially on A pillar, side mirror and rear  windscreen... suggested change your side mirror to blue screen(wide range)
Sometime playing the shiftronic gear on hill-slop road and its very impress..only the downshift is a bit stiff maybe the gearkbox is still new, but upshift is very smooth
They said driving in manual mode will help on reduce FC too but im a bit lazy so seldom driving in manual
The oem Brake pad create a lot of dust and squeking sound maybe due to still very new...will change it after few more month
The oem kumho hankook tyre a bit noisy on highway suggested change to better brand like michelin or continental but depends on your budget too...
Suspension setup is quite stiff if going through bad condition road but its acceptable for me

Anything else u want to know??
Many thing can share to you but dont know what u wanted to know??

hello proud sportage owners.
I find the design of this car simply amazing. looks way better than any other japs suv in its class. it almost looks a little like a tiguan and a q5. very continental looking.
anyway. i was wondering if it feels close to a continental suv?? how's the NVH? wind noise ? 
also, the feel of the car when cruising on a highway at speeds around 150kmph. the rev at that speed?

i order online...around US$ 30 per pairs shipped
Recently thinking to order led taillight and the roof spoiler

Guys which grill is better??
If want to match bright silver colour

sharing.....

wow good to know side mirrors got heater, its good when driving in rainy day.
wonder why they never publish the info

congrate 4 those who already get their car..just wondering how long u'all have to wait 4 that moment hmm..
"Penantian satu Penyeksaan" hahahha...

Called a few showrooms amd all confirmed no show unit or test drive units available. Will prolly be going back to Serdang Branch and book one anyways. Still need to decide Sportage or Sorento Thanks peeps

hello don,

its been 3 months now since i changed the expansion valve, but the problem seems to be returning as i can feel the A/C air very slowly becoming a bit warm at instant where the car is left idle for more than 5 minutes. most of the time, i set the temp to 23 C, and its cold. Nowadays, when the temp is set at 23 C and left to idle for a while, can feel the warm air very slowly coming back, though still bearable...

the other obvious problem i face is the loud screeching sound on the brakes during braking. not sure what caused it. will report this to the service center during my next service...
