Which one did you drive...?

Another good thing is that they don't hold their value. I was looking at some that had been priced at c£18000 when new and had lost 50% of that in 6 months. Good second hand buy :thumbsup:
I want the new one with the 1.6 CRDi DCT.... rubschin:

Never buy a new one of course, but that applies to any brand.

One of our neighbours has a Sorento. You get a lot for the money and it hasn't broken yet. Been in it but not driven, seems very comfortable.

Thanks! ;D
A brand new one appears to be an extremely reasonable €19,000 here... cheapest I have found in the UK is £23,000...

And it is also a fact that you don't drive a diesel like you do a petrol... ::)
So most likely mine will never see 4,000 rpm...
Why would you...? You have massive Torque (twice as much as the petrol version) at just 1,750 rpm - why would you thrash the arse off it?
Diesels are different, you drive them differently. I'd never had one till I came here 16 years ago but this is my second and the engine of choice... Plus the combined is 4.9l/100Km... ;)

So most likely mine will never see 4,000 rpm...
Why would you...? You have massive Torque (twice as much as the petrol version) at just 1,750 rpm - why would you thrash the arse off it?
Diesels are different, you drive them differently. I'd never had one till I came here 16 years ago but this is my second and the engine of choice... Plus the combined is 4.9l/100Km... ;)
Shouldn't you be watching the footy...? ::)
Please make up your mind. You said I was talking shite saying the power disappears above 4,000 rpm and now you agree with me

HT in ETI don'tand bugger all at 4,100 rpmDiesel?
noooo:
Diesel! :thumbsup:
Diesel is excellent - the torque is amazing and it matches an auto/DCT box perfectly....
The 1.7 CRDi produces 141bhp at 4000 RPM and 340 Torques between 1,750 and 2,500 RPM eeek:
except loads of NOx
Don't talk shite Steve... ::)

All diesels drop off big time over 4,000 rpm, it's just a fact
And it is also a fact that you don't drive a diesel like you do a petrol... ::)

Re-read it and you will see you are talking shite.
I didn't say diesel was about power I said it was about torque. Why did you not mention torque and just go with the silly, "and bugger all at 4,100 rpm" straw man...?
Perhaps you have never driven one but I have for the past 16 years. They work perfectly in a auto or DCT - and in a manual too if you appreciate the difference between petrol and diesel, power and torque - which you clearly don't.
You clearly don't like diesel but don't diss them until you have lived with one.

Quite! lol:
My last car in the UK was a supercharged 4.0 V8 Jag - I thought it was the best car evah... But diesel is sooo different... and cheap too...
The owld Panjero ( cry:) was a 3.2 and the Sportage is just a 1.7 but I thought I had the bloody thing in Sport mode today! lol:
Amazing! eeek:

I could have had a new NIcole next month as the lease deal is up, but we get on well so I have decided to keep her :thumbsup:
I'm tempted, KIA-Ora is lovely but she still has warranty and MoT under her belt and I can get back almost what I paid for her five years ago! eeek:

Other cars must have it too, I've no idea...
When you are in high beam the camera detects oncoming vehicles or tail lights of vehicles you are approaching like my old KIA.
But it has a whole array of LED headlight elements, and can turn them off selectively to avoid blinding other vehicles... So you still have the benefit of 'high beam' illuminating the road ahead with little patches of light turned off... Quite remarkable!
It has completely transformed night-time driving... cloud9:

Mrs K's car does it but her previous 2019 Rav 4 had the autodip that was complete crap dipping when it shouldn't and not dipping when it should. My 2017 vintage Merc autodips and gets it right every time but doesn't have that fill in lighting which as you say makes a huge difference.
Taxi to airport in Valencia was a Kia-Ora, very impressed how much luggage it took while still having good leg room. Seemed to be quite rapid despite the immense load.
