yezaaa... saw 1 in brunei...

if the price at RM120k then  i have to bang wall liao..
i have been waiting this car since last year, but get to know this car going to price at least Rm130k and make me changed my mind to get another car at rm117k :-s

I think the price is too high for a Kia. They should have priced it about RM 130K max only. Despite its good looks and specs, the price will kill it. We cannot anticipate the success of the Sportage based on the Forte as the main reason the Forte is selling well in Malaysia is because of its lower pricing together with its good specs. Without good pricing, Korean makes will not sell well. That's a fact.

Look at the Hyundai Sonata for example. How many do you see on the road today? Despite all its hype, it only sold 1,367 units this year compared to the much older Toyota Camry which sold 2,599 units. Specs alone couldnt boost its sales. If they had priced it lower by about 7K, its sales would have been much better for sure.

Lets hope the Hyundai AVante doesnt meet the same fate.

in terms of gadgets, luxuriousity n price i'd prefer 3008 more..
but for 2nd hand value, after sale srvice, srvice cntre, and spare parts of course kia would be a good choice

Planning to sell after 4 yrs only?? Be prepared for a massive loss in resale value my friend. May i suggest you spend your money investing in property rather than wasting it changing cars every 4 yrs? 

An SUV definitely handles differently from a sedan but I like the feeling of being seated higher for sure In terms of size, the ASX is by comparison, the smallest of the 3 while the Sportage, the biggest:

Length/Width/Height (in mm)
ASX - 4295/1770/1615
Tucson - 4325/1795/1680
Sportage - 4440/1855/1635
