Sir, congrats sa new KDM Sorento ninyo.. I don't have a Sorento, but the counterpart....anyhow. let me know if your able to use your GPS with Philippine Map... we both have Actune unit and same system, but I can't get my gps to work...although with the SD card included with Korean map, theres no problem...wala lang ako alam paano mapagana or mapagawa sd files with Philippines map to work with the type of unit we have.

Here are some of my personal comments why i like the 2013 Kia Sorento rather than the 2013 Hyundai Sta Fe.

1. The side glass of the Sorento is bigger from the front until the 3rd row. Notice that the Sta fe has very small side glass at the front row. Then it gets even smaller on the 2nd row and worse on the 3rd row. It made the Sta Fe feel cramp inside.

2. The dashboard design of the Soranto is not so modern but not out dated. For me, it has a more lasting design. The height of the seats and the dashboard is just right which makes the driving position perfect and easy to drive. The dashboard of the Sta Fe looks like a Sonata and a Tucson. It looks very modern but can easily look out dated. The seats of the Sta Fe feels so low inside and it does not help that the side glass is small.

3. The body of the Sorento looks boxy, wider and more "macho". The body of the Sta Fe has more curves to it. I personally prefer the boxy look.

i'm not sure with ser bimparts TOTL Sorento.... is there a way to make it sound the same w/o replacing
the door lock mechanism?

also has anyone missed the ONE_TOUCH_UP Power window switch? all my other car have/had it (Hilux/Fit/Civic)...but this Sorento is same with Carens....
is there an alternative Mobis switch to have this one touch convenience?
i think this is common with Hyundai branded vehicles....

never ko nacompare yung door sa driver and passenger side when i close it but il check tomorrow. will also check if i have that one_touch power window

average din lang for me ung sound when closing doors on my sportage. but after my deadening, all my doors now closes with a satisfying thud

hindi ba one touch yung driver-side window lang?
