Great. Do share your experience if you get a chance to take it on Motorway!

[alibintahir]

Sorry mate as I'm from the twin cities, I can't help you there.
I think firstly, you can contact the Lucky Motors Customer Feedback & Complaints and give the details about the problem that you're facing. Secondly, the best you can do is to contact the owner of the dealership directly and I'm sure that he can facilitate you in the matter.
If the above two fails, lastly you can contact the consumer court for your trouble and I'm sure that you'll get a reasonable solution for your problem.

I hope it helps.

Which one has a better sound system/quality stock among civic, grande and sportage?

[r.farookee]

I think the sound quality was better in my Civic Oriel 1.8.Sortage is not bad but Civic was more crisp especially sound from tweeter.

You answered my the question in your previous post.

The instant pick of Grande.

It’s massively useful and safe when you’re trying to overtake specially on GT road.

Slow acceleration is a hazard in such cases. Specially when you have trucks on the road.

I booked my Sportage Alpha on September 29th and delivery month was Jan 2022. Car got delivered to dealership on Jan 31st and invoiced on the same date. Had to pay the extra 114k. Invoice price Rs.4,770,000. Saved by a whisker or else would have had to pay extra for the revised price. Driven it for almost 600kms so far and loving every bit of it. Moved on to it from a dmax so find the ride very comfortable but obviously it's not an apple to apple comparison. Though have driven both civic and corolla grande, but i find the sportage to be much more premium than both.

I would rate Sportage then Civic then Grande in terms of sound quality

[Oblivion]

Sportage has a conventional 6 speed auto, if u tap the pedal twice it picks up instantly but since it has a bigger body with more weight and 18inch rims it will take time to pick up, if you follow the same process in X that also takes a quick pick up

Can anyone recommend some decent products to keep Sportage swirl free and clean
- Cloth for exterior and interior
- Cloth for glass
- Shampoo
- Scratch remover ( just in case something happens have to keep in stock)
- Tyre shine protectant
- Interior (dashboard, doors and seats) protectant to keep the colour fresh

[saad310799]

-demnok cloth or gyeon silk dryer(exterior) some local microfiber cloth for interior.
- sonax clearview or 3d glass cloth
- koch chemie nanomagic, koch chemie gsf, tac system mystic bubble
- 3d One or koch chemie h9
- diss 7x, carpro perl
- All purpose cleaner (koch chemie mzr), tac system seal, carpro perl, nanoskin hyper dress.

All products are available with me

Salam All Sportagers!

So my Sportage is 3 Months and 3K mileage old.

Have query regarding services as heard from many ppl that its scheduled maintenance is costing them 20K and sometime to 30K (30K specially at 20,000 mileage with CC cleaning). As per my visit to KIA, they also handed me over their rate list with fixed 5K/7K service charges plus oil/filter charges on top.

1- As per your experience, how much does a regular scheduled maintenance costs?
2- Is it mandatory or how important is to opt for these 5K/7K service charges? Or one can simply pay 1200 /1300 for oil change service charges. (from KIA dealership only)
3- About 20K mileage, does this really cost us 30K for CC cleaning and all?

Any tips and tricks to keep it maintained and cost effective.

TIA

salaam everyone

my kia sportage awd is driver 3000kms. for the past few days there is noise coming from the rear side whenever the car goes on an uneven road; it feels like if the seat or some part is loose

i went to the dealer and during the road test the guy said its the rubbers on the door which are making the noise and they need to be replaced . i was surprised that how come the rubbers are worn out so quickly

i am not convinced with their statement so wanted to check if someone else also had similar problems

thanks

[Oblivion]

My car's first oil and filter change costed PKR 7313 just 3 weeks ago

[emzee92]

Get WD40 silicone or Petroleum jelly (vaseline) applied to the rubbers.

[emzee92]

sometime to 30K (30K specially at 20,000 mileage with CC cleaning

No need to get the CC cleaned so early. Drop it from the list and save money.

Why? Wasn't the 1st 1000km service "free"?

[hdaackda]

Salam everyone. Got my delivery few days ago, drove a total of 100 km so far Average 8.33 (with AC in city)

I haven't done anything yet (apart from filing tank). What do you suggest for brand new cars? Any process? Should I get undercoating? What about paint/nano/graphene coating etc (if yes, when? worth it?)

What is recommended tyre pressure. I am keeping at 35PSI.

Any other suggestions? I love the lights (in underground parking, they light up automatically, cool feature. also love auto dim backview mirror but HATE the pathetic infotainment)

[Oblivion]

The first 1000km service is free, in my case i drove 418kms then when the time lapsed of 4 months i went for first oil change and it was driven around 900kms, as of today its driven 1059kms
