Dream on if you think a craptiva is anywhere near as good a car as the Sorento. The Sorento is top of the class where as craptiva is the dropout.

Guess what??

Kia Sorento has just few more days to enjoy higher price selling as CACPTIVA-II series is going to hit the AUS roads in March.

The new Captiva looks great in terms of look and also new 2.2 CRDI engine has great power compare to Kia-Sorento.

Price wise Captiva-II is way cheaper compare to Sorento as both have safe features.

GO holden GO

George,
Couldn’t match the $47,000 Sandy claims she got, but I did pick up a platinum in metallic paint with towbar, side steps and window tint for $48,480 drive away. Used on online car broker myslef, much easier.

Just picked up Platinum with bluetooth, tint and towbar for $47000. Great value for money and drives a dream. Option was a top of the range BMW/Merc or Value for money with the features.

Resale value is linked to older models.Once more off-roaders/north shore day trippers see them around, will improve resale.

Just picked up our new Platinum and so far we have not got one single complaint. In-laws have a Kluger, which we have driven extensively and I can honestly say that the Platinum is the better drive. OK so there are a couple of luxury accessories that would have been nice such as bluetooth and rainsensors on the wipers, but considering the $$$ and THAT engine…sealed the deal for us.

Just purchased a new Platinum in June 2010. I had a CRD2.5 07 manual model prior. Great car. Got a great trade too. My circumstances have changed so I was happy to part with the old Sorento. I’m happy with this new one. Couple of new car niggles. Needed all wheels balanced to iron out a vibration. Its not as good fuel economy as I expected but I hope that will improve as the engine loosens up. Also, the stereo system leaves a bit to be desired. iPod integration is hopeless, no bluetooth etc. If Kia have changed this car for a more soft roader market then these things are probably worthy of consideration. Sat nav too. You get all those things in the new Renault Koleos 4×4, for a bit less coin too! Anyway – pretty happy so far. See how it goes with a tow.

Just bought a Platinum 200km demo for 47,500 with a tow-bar included(apparently about $1100 worth) so definetly push the dealer hard on the drive away price – walk away if they won’t come to the party, they’ll call you back and deal, good luck!

Yep, we bought a Platinum, and ended up paying 49k on the road. Looked around alot, and it is definatly the most car in it class for the money. Perforance and handling is great.
You 4wd freeks – stop banging on about the old Sorento. This is a totally different car for a different market. Go look somewere else – this is not the car for you. Its nothing like the old vehicle at all in design and purpose.
