Took delivery of my new X70 1.8 Premium last week. After test driving the CRV, Tiguan & 3008, kinda decided that the X70 remains very competitive in that segment without even factoring in the price.

The clincher came when the sales agent buang harga and offered the 1.8 Premium for RM115,800 for last year's stock (manufactured mid Nov). My wallet jumped out of my pocket on the spot. 3 weeks later the car is mine.

I'm struggling with the head unit, coz there's a bit of a learning curve to overcome and the sales guy didn't explain much of it. For example, how the hell do I log in as a registered owner? I can't setup the thing.

Also, the much vaunted 'premium Kenwood sound system' didn't match up with my expectation of 'premium'. I have a Pioneer + Alpine set-up in my old 2008 Sorento with 2-way component speakers in the front, 2-way coax in the rear + a 12" sub in a sealed box, so that's what I'm accustomed to... which beats the pants off the X70's 'premium' setup.

Since I'm out of parking space I need to sell off the Sorento 2.5 turbodiesel with the audio setup intact, so if anyone's interested...
