LAtest update from KIA is new batch release will be around 15th march. Car shld reach customer between than and early april.

GOOD LUCK!

Sunshine, are your source (who in KIA by the way) able to confirm to you that your vehicle (assuming you are also q-ing) will be delivered by then? Really cannot understand why cant they already have a planned list of allocation by now. how come they do not know how many sportages are delivered/on the way? you mean there is no manifesto list is it? how the heck they do things wan???

so sad if this is true.. i'm dying waiting

just receive my SA called and said maybe will get my car on 2 weeks time!
Btw, are we still getting the CBU spec? what is this batch now??
Can anyone share me how to differentiate the CBU & CKD spec from the pyshcially side? keen to know!!

Honestly, sean....i can't find the club for Sorento XM owners, there is club for the older Sorento versions. i'm guessing too few as well so i wouldn't mind joining Sportage TT

Mr.Gan from KIA Glenmarie is highly recommended Sales to look for.

Hi all sifu here!
Plan to change my car so already view the kia sportage very nice and good looking aslo! but i need to know more about the millage! cause as told by the puchong guy for city drive rm 50 can get about 350km is it true?

From my experienced (my odo is only 5xxx km), city driving will only get you 350km, from full tank until the refueling light on, should be about 40-45l of petrol used.

if only until low fuel light turn on can get 350km, it is good enough already, pretty much comparable to my modded civic 1.8 in city driving

It's definitely more than RM50 as quoted by the Puchong guy who told andy1_8
More like RM80-85

Same here, city driving between Cheras-KL from full tank until the refueling light on, i can get around 350km.

Huh..tired to wait my sportage...almost 3 month without any happy call..

patient bro, many booked way back to last year Oct still not getting the car yet.
Just hope that this new batch can be delivered as rumour...

My SA told me on Jan that delivery shall be this months but have not update me again yet.
Just keep us posted for any updates.

does any existing owners here experience the air conditioning system becomes "uncold" when the car runs slow? when i drive on hwy at about 120kmph, the air cond is cold even when i set to 23 degrees and the fan speed is set at 1, but when i drive in the city at about 50 - 70kmph, the air cond doesn't blow cool air even if i set it to 20 degrees, as i usually dun set any lower than this and the fan speed i usually set at 1, or at most, speed at 3. when car is idling, the same thing happens, very little cold air blows out. please advise if anyone has this experience...

Didnt encounter issue u mention...even idling...
better sent to sc for checking asap...
must be something wrong perhaps

my is ok, you should send your car for checking

i have the same prob...our air cond fan may got 3 stage...off/slow/fast...if you start the car and turn to 23 degrees the air cond wont cold at all untill u move ur car and drive fast...alternative you turn to 20 below when idle the air cond fan speed turn "fast" and air cond is cool as usual...when in traffic jam or long travel the problem is same..

Most likely your air-cond motor coupling is loosen. I have the same problem before with my Honda Civic. I went to the work shop and the foreman just knock on the coupling few time then the problem solve (sound funny-but this real). But the foreman tell me if the symptom appear again than you may need to change the coupling or worst the whole set of motor.

I've waited for 5 months. and i heard there are some guys booked on aug 11 still didn't get thier ride and that's 7 months. Don't know how this naza is doing business here.

His case is SA git offer him other colour but he insisted want the colour which i firget already...then last year end december SA said gkot car for him but he refused ss he said he want to wait for 2012 production ..u can lokk back the thread he mention

Today chat with my SA and now he told me no idea when can deliver the car, he said management always telling incorrect date : esok lusa bla bla shit......guys better call you SA to check and update us...
