While i wish to help clearing TS' doubt, on the other hand the selfish me wished that less people gets this rare gem which i own.

I've met a number of owners who are owning their 2nd or 3rd KIAs. If KIA is a "lousy" car, there will not be repeat owners.

Frankly i don't know about prices of those major replacement parts, bcoz i was nvr required to during the tenure of owning my 1st KIA which is still going strong. Why worry about spare parts when a KIA car only requires normal maintenance services in at least 5-7 years?

wow city driving is really awesome....did you note what was the average speed for city driving on your CX5?

Yeah that's excellent. My 2.0D gets 10-12km/l for rush hour jam. If highway trip never tekan then can get 16-18km/l, thats very gentle driving which is difficult to maintain 😁

Sometimes i find the 19in wheels cause too much road noise

Duckies, the new 2018 EX is 18in wheels, think thats the good middle point for style n comfort. Anybody buying EX want to swap wheels?πŸ˜€

Tuscon from spec sheet seems pretty good but not sure in terms of practical how was it. .Also need to consider the after sales service, maintenance and repair cost, service center efficiency and attitude and etc.

Depends on ur preference, Tucson's interior feels very plasticky to me..from the dashboard to the hard leather seats..and not to mention the aircond is a manual 1 πŸ˜‚ the 1.6T with dual clutch was nice + the auto tailgate. But the 3 years free service covers up to 50k km only.

Cx5 2.2D can Rev like a petrol to 5000rpm?
Sportage Rev range around from 1800 to 2800rpm.. Right?
*
Sportage peak torque between 1.7-4k rpm. Peak power at 4k rpm also. Personally dun remember gone past 4k rpm even at 200kmh.

The diesel's Sportage GT CRDi is matched by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine with 184 hp power scattering at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm torque between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm

From paultan website......

I see thx for correction..dont remember the figures correctly..it feels the best in acceleration within that range in real life.
