Kia Sportage
Let's all post vehicles better than the KN Sportage, I'll start
Dacia Logan
>>29037638Kill yourself right now.
Why is OP obsessed with this unremarkable grocery getter?
>>29037651not as nice>>29038163because its nicer than rav4 or cr-v and nobody will admit it
>>29038560>because its nicer than rav4 or cr-v and nobody will admit itDidn't I just see you in another thread complaining about being tailgated and how your car was super-slow and can barely do 80?
I assume this low effort spam is because they are all currently occupied with overwhelming fire related recalls where their product can self ignite while the engine is off
>>29038574I didn't even make this thread. Another anon noticed how butthurt you get when Korean cars are mentioned.
>>29037638she a cute
>>29038568I drive more slowly than most and on a two lane highway there's a ton of crazy people in the left lane who view having to drive under 85 mph as imposition. Also I doubt most people have CHONKAY all terrain tires on their Kia, and it would probably be nice with summer tires but the steering is admittedly slop. You sacrifice a lot to get better steering with a Honda tho, and Toyota is no better and VW is worse (overboosted slop).
>>29038591I don't have a problem with your car, it's whatever, and I like some of your scenery shots. But chill out with "glazeposting" it, as the kids may or may not say. I wouldn't be excited by a rav4 or crv either.
>>29038601for most single adults a compact crossover makes a ton of sense if you are doing long-distance driving>and I like some of your scenery shotsBASEDI need to get some more didn't have a lot of opportunities to line the car up next to a viewI can't wait until summer is over its too damn hotI never said Kias are perfect. The steering blows, the engine is rough and slow, and the suspension barely smooths big bumps but its so much less shitty than a Toyota inside I don't rly care. And it drives itself on the highway WITHOUT a camera to make me look at the road. Alfa Romeo should make a new stelvio that's off-road oriented a la ford bronco sportI think people would enjoy having good steering on an off-road thingy, people have said alfa has the best steering rack (eps) of any mainstream car.
>>29038560>because its nicer than rav4 or cr-v and nobody will admit itI simply have no interest in any of these vehicles
>>29038611slight correction, first gen rav4 fucks
>>29038604no they don't. Fucking end your life faggot.
>>29038613Fair, correction approved. Those are cool.
>>29038588Yeah the old ones are nifty. I kinda want one for urban dailying and weekend offroading.
>>29038713they suck to drive, you just think they look macho
>>29038713You really really don't anon. Absolute worst car I've ever owned, slow, noisy, and everything broke constantly. Pushing it up hills and shit is a great workout if you're looking to get fit though
at least it's not a dashcam thread
>>29038713>the old onesEvery old kia I see is posted in a shill thread. The ones I see on the road are much newer. It's like they get repoed at the five year mark.
>>29039248eh there's plenty of older ones esp the 2015-2019 variantbut keep in mind the people who bought them are poor and are not likely to invest a lot in maintenance
>>29039326>2015-2019>old
>>29039331in kia years, it's ancientive also seen a few first gen ones floating aroundbut really there's more older sedans than suvs in my experience, plenty of 2010 forte sedans still exist
>>29037638I'm a mom with bad credit, I want to sit higher than a sedan, and have space for a Costco run and I'm not concerned if the engine explodes or it bursts into fire while parked">your Kia Sportage is just over here, ma'am
>>29039348my engine came back all green on its last service
>>29039331Korean cars age at like 3x the rate of a regular carlike how Italian cars used to
>>29039451>engine turns green after taking it in for servicethat's the leak tester dye, anon, hope you have that 10 year warranty handy
>>29039459no like u get an email feedback sheet from the dealer when u take it in for servicegreen means all good
>>29039496I'm 98% sure that guy was joking.Your car is almost new, why would it have issues?
>>29039498i got it used, it has about 80k miles on it now
>>29037638My friend had a 1996 Toyota Camry as his first car that he gave to his dad, and then he went and financed a brand new Kia Stonic. After he was telling me how he literally likes the Camry in every way more than the Kia, but he still chose to drive and complain about the Kia. It's like Kias have an aerated mind-control gas in the car to tell the user to keep driving it.
>>29039496Genuine subuman retardYou don't like cars you don't like cars. Just leave.
>>29039510>brand new>stonicI'm not tooo familiar with Kia Europe but I'm pretty sure that's their oldest shittiest model
>>29039501I wouldn't expect a car to have issues at 80k miles. Also, a dealer check doesn't mean too much, 'specially 'round these parts, though it's obviously good it came back green.
>>29037638I quite like the look of this version.They are bouncy rubbish and relatively small inside compared to any regular car.A Geo Metro would serve you better in town.
>>29039517This woman came up to me and told me she had an older Kia Sportage (tho not sure if it was this one not even sure what the before one looked like don't see those much), and was shocked how curvy mine was tho it does kinda ruin visibility and headroom and cargo space and makes it annoying to clean the rear window. >>29039516The thing about Kia is it has sensors and warning lights/messages for every little thing but I take lots of road trips and don't want some big problem cropping up that requires a long repair.
>>29039516>I wouldn't expect a car to have issues at 80kWell lower your expectations, it's not just any car, it's a Kia
>>29039522>she had an older KiaSo believablesuch trueI knew a guy who saw the shill post every non scathing post in this thread.You heard it here first.
>>29039615Early Kias were boxy.Pic, Korean boxy.
>>29039623was there not one between this gen and the 2015 one? I somehow cannot picture it. I assume that's what she had. >>29039615It was in Oswego NY last August. I got two hot dogs for lunch and honesty it wasn't much food and I was pretty cranky by the last waterfall around 4pm.
>>29038560Of course it's not as nice, the godlike Logan is 14k euros new.
>>29039776yeah when was the original design first developed?2009?
>>29039783New chassis since 2020 nigga
>>29039786newor"new"
>>29039789Genuinely new, designed in 2019. Nissan/Renault CMF-B HS
>>29039799and when was the cmf platform first laid out?
2 0 1 3
>>29039816CMF is a set of modular design guidelines, the chassis is still a new design. Though your strange obsession with when exactly a car's chassis was designed tells me that you don't know anything about cars to begin with.
>>29039823copeit's cheap because it's old and terrible
>dacias>better than kias
