I'm not into accessories. Mine remains stock. Just Growl audio for the Audio and TV Plus for TV. But you can search this thread. A few has been mentioned.

Mga sir meron na palang AWD Sportage na diesel. Galing ako sa Kia Sta Rosa kanina may display sila. San po kaya may magandang deal sa Sportage na diesel. Thanks

[eli71724]

Sorry, sorento pala yung nakita ko. Walang AWD na sportage diesel. Anyway, still looking for good deals for the diesel sportage. I live in Laguna and the farthest I would go is up to Alabang area only. Thanks!

Just took delivery of a sportage LX crdi, first impression, dissapointment. This is not the sportage I checked in the showroom before deciding on it. The wheels were now 16's instead of 17's, and there is no foglamps! What happened, this unit is fresh off the boat from Korea.

May similar case ka sir sa Navara thread. Have you referred this with your dealer's top management?

[BKR5]

Called up the agent in charge, was told na what I was referring to is the EX model daw and costs 1.7M. Foglamps and 17's for a difference of 380K! I am so sure bcoz I checked out the unit on display, even crawled underneath to see and confirm hindi 4x4, checked the spare which is a donut tire. Sorry for ranting here but expecting a surething and getting another, I hope you know the feeling.

Uu bro, badtrip talaga yan lalu na kung ginawa mo naman yung due diligence sa part mo to verify kung ano talagang specs ng gusto mong kunin na variant.

BTW, di kasi ako pamilyar sa specs ng sportage, ano ba sabi sa latest brochure nila?

Gawa ka na lang ng formal letter addressed to Kia Philippines indicating all the facts. Better if complete details talaga lalu na sa date, time, and personnel involved.

on their brochure that i just downloaded their crdi model indicates that 17'" tires & foglamps comes standard.

[BKR5]

I even have 2copies of their flyer/brochure indicating same thing but alas there is a footnote "*specs may change w/out prior notice" I can complain about false promises from their agents but they will always hide behind this statement, in the end buyer beware!

I've never had a car come with different specs as was indicated to me by a sales agent or the brochure.

Humingi ka sir ng formal quotation before kayo nag downpayment? Yan kasi sir pwede nyo gamitin na panglaban if niloko kayo ng SA nyo.

[BKR5]

I may have lapsed with regards to a quotation and this is also a carplan so downpayment was never a problem. I have emailed my complaint with kia motors philippines, it is up to them whether to act upon it or hide behind the "specs change wout prior notice" footnote. No use fighting a big company especially if it is owned by a powerful politician. whenever a kia add pops up on social media I will just comment and inform other would be buyers what I went through.

[dct]

I suggest sugurin mo sa casa. They will not take you seriously pag tawag tawag lang through phone

[weisshorn]

baka mali ang variant na nadeliver. di kaya??

[BKR5]

Yes you are right wrong variant talaga ang binigay, but they did not inform us that they were giving us the less featured variant, I'm guessing they ran out bcoz during the time I was checking out the units, no crdi unit could be found, even the dealership owner which we know got surprised that this variant was delivered but we were trusting enough since we know them, that his people would do all the paperworks and delivered the sportage registered already with or/cr sans the plate. And to make us feel worse this new less featured variant is priced with the discount incl. the same as the previous variant with more features adding insult to injury talaga, kia motors is a opportunist(nangugulang) company. Maybe this is how they value their customers, I remember the guy nasinugod nya sa isang carshow yung kia booth dahil his complaint fell on deaf ears, now I know how he felt.

Sir did you accept the unit pag deliver? Coz if you did, and wala ka rin formal spec quotation, mahirap na mapalitan yan

[BKR5]

Like I said it was delivered to us complete with or/cr. Yun yung service nung dealer, they did all the paperworks. Our fault was we were too trusting with the kia people I did my research on, how was I to know that they would change the unit, my take is that all crdi units are in short supply bcoz of the upcoming model this sept. And our market is less of a priority to kia motors korea, that they just send whatever thats left, in other words pinagpilian na ng ibang countries bago tayo. My problem with them is why did they not inform us that there is a variant change in the unit we ordered. I have surrendered to the fact that I'm stuck with this unit now. I guess I just want to let everyone interested in buying a kia to be a little bit more vigilant with them or better yet consider a different brand.

[BKR5]

Here is an added info for those hell bent on getting a sportage, you can get the featured variant in gasoline version for 1,240,000 - 80,000(disc.) = 1,160,000
The crdi model you might get is the economy version which we have has an SRP 1,290,000 -50,000 (disc.) = 1,240,000.

The quote we got for the CRDI featured variant was 1,320,000 - 80,000(disc.) = 1,240,000 see the similarity, we got the economy variant for the same price as the featured crdi variant
