Added on April 3, 2012, 9:56 amTwice I asked the Service Advisor whether can install alarm already, and both times he said no...
Right now I'm using Stoplock steering lock from my previous car.
I've asked around for Locktech brake lock but so far still cannot find for Sportage.

I've only asked few neighbourhood car accessory shops, so my search might not be thorough enough.
If your SA managed to give you free Locktech, please share with us also.
Anyway, there is another brand called LockTact which is locally made and the quality is
lower compared to LockTech but the price is much lower

Update:
Just received an email reply from the Locktech distributor in Malaysia that they still don't have the lock for Sportage

The thing is, when you sent your car to the service centre, the Service Advisor will ask you to remove it....
They will say the SA get some commission from this accessory installation.... while their HQ still don't allow alarm installation....
When you go back to your SA, he will say the HQ already approved the alarm installation....
So how?

Sorry for the late reply...
For the OEM headlamp, I changed to Philips Extreme Vision and hi-beam I used Philips Diamond Vision.
Both cost ard RM230-250/pair from any car acessory shop...
As both are H7 bulb, you can always swap them to your preference

Bro,
Loctact or Locktech?
Do you have ready stock Locktech for our Sportage or need to order first?
Kum siah!

Bro,
Do join the Sportage Owner Group in FB....
More technical discussion and sharing of info there...

As for your FC, if you're stuck in traffic jam most of the time, you'll be getting ard 12-14L/100.
It will tend to improve after your odo clock >5k km...

I've driven an Unser and a Triton before, so I know about the SUV fc before I bought the Sportage.
I was only replying to Joe Yip query....
I suggest you quote the right post before you answer... peace....

Nice review bro....

Please join the Sportage owner group in Facebook....
Lots of info on accessory, servicing, etc

Many info there

I had the 2011 GT, which is the 1st batch CBU of the previous version.
Sold it last year with mileage about 130k.
It’s a good and reliable ride, other than the normal wear and tear, with the normally reported issue being the aircond compressor after a few years of usage.
My main complaint is the hight FC as it is an Awd.
For my mixed drive, with full tank of 55L, I was only getting 350-400km.
For comparison, on my 2018 CX-5 2.2D, although it is a turbo diesel and Fwd only, for the same route, my mileage is about 650-700km for 56L tank

Another thing to check is the sunroof motor and rubber lining.
As I didn't use sunroof that often, before I sold my ride, the sunroof was stuck half-way and wouldn't close.
I could hear the motor whirring sound but the sunroof appeared stuck.

Luckily I managed to get it closed before handed it over to the 2nd-hand car dealer.
Last time the SC guy told me the newer Nu engine is more economical than mine Theta engine

You're right bro.
Normally the major complaint are the aircond compressor which I was worried too coz during the last 2-years ownership, I had to refill the gas every 8-9 months or so although my mechanics couldn't really find the leakage
