Hey KIA has a name in the South Asian auto car market. It has emerged as the luxurious brand. I feel this brand should launch vehicle segment using different new techniques. This will surely benefit this vehicle.

GM cars could be called junk. Not Kia or Hyundai. They are value for money. Japanese cars were looked down about 40 years back. The same cars went on to rule the world. Korean products are nearly as good as Japanese. When you think of TV you think of Sony/ Panasonic and then think of Samsung / LG. The quality difference is nearly nil. At times, Korean products are better in quality, resale and price. Brand image is where Korean cars are behind Japs. Honda is great, but Hyundai not quite. That attitude is also changing.

I am looking forward to test driving this little beastie. Being a tight-arsed Kiwi of Scots origin via Zimbabwe I have no qualms about saving a sh**load of money on purchase price and running costs, and the 5 year unlimited km warranty instils a lot of confidence.I wouldn’t buy a Cayenne or similar even with unlimited funds because it would be a waste of money. Screw fashion and so called status – it’s not for me.

I’ve had Kia’s and hyundai’s in my family for many years now, and have found them to be the most reliable car going, as apposed to my fords and holdens and toyotas that I’ve also had, that always seem to break down.
I find my Brand new Sportage to be a fantastic car, and ya can’t beat the value for money, You get all the goodies standard, That ya have to pay extra on Suv’s worth alot more. Go Kia !!

HA, a/c I am proud to be a tight arse thanks. I mean, it sure is smarter than wasting money for what people at your level would term image. Is your job devoted to spreading ignorance, or are you always so stupid or is today a special occasion?
I don’t want to make a monkey out of you. Why should I take all the credit?

I live in Australia but the thing with me is that I finished High School starting to think with the comments on this website that 90% of the people here didnot.70% of Australians are fat,racist,rednecks and I forgot with little or no education,which means very very closed minded.

You know how everybody calls the TK Barina a death trap? I agree, but do you know that the current Hyundai Getz has also a 2 star ANCAP score the same as the TK Barina?
