One thing to note is those ratings are based on how many things are included in the vehicle. 5 stars for sure if the manufacturer offers all the safety features. Once you start removing features in vehicles sold locally you can't see a 5 star rating for a vehicle and think it applies locally. Case in point that euroncap Tucson rating.

The point is that the structure of the vehicle was found to be deficient in that area. The rating might not fully apply but the findings of those tests do.

yes tuners, the jetta is history. Borrowing the mom's car until the pickup arrives. Awesome reviews from real world people in here is what make things easy on shoppers. The Colorado almost got the sale but I got the np300 on a deal I couldn't refuse. Make those sales reps work for their commissions, trust me on this.....there is always wiggle room its just we consumers don't exercise our rights.

Try that when looking for a Toyota Corolla nah.

[acesinghit]

Well yes true...I just don't like their arrogance. Their reps are not sales people, they are order takers. Hilux is very nice but underpowered and too expensive not too mention over-booked! They won't be seeing my money anytime too soon and well it appears they don't care cause I'm sure 4-5 other contractors walked in there and ordered another 20 hilux, 4 corolla, 6 prado and a rav4 for dey chirren, chirren mother and tantie this and uncle that etc etc

The Chevrolet Captiva is a good vehicle?

[tacf85]

What's the features in the x-trail exclusive 7 seater?

[drchaos]

7 seats!

[acesinghit]

The captiva scores a unique point by probably being the cheapest 7 seater mid size unibody suv with a turbo diesel engine. Its based on a platform which is the basis for other gm products and i heard the motor hauls a$$. Being a familiar design over the years it lost some appeal to me not that i could afford it anyway. If i was in the market for a mid size diesel suv though it would be the sorento.

[drchaos]

Yeah captiva looks sort of bland. I agree that the Sorento is king in its class at the moment. I have even seen some people compare it with a range rover, in terms of space, features and luxury.

[tacf85]

Found the Captiva was reasonable and very spacious for my growing family. The Sorento would have been my choice but the diesel 7 seater is really high. The Xtrail additional seats are a squeeze. Will go look at the outlander this week and examine the space. Will have to sell my Corolla GLI soon. Only bought it in January this year. A 7 seater is really needed.

Hyundai H1. ...

[gastly369]

sheit u not those h1 decent

[tacf85]

The H1 is diesel? Also I like the tractable extra 2 seats in the SUV's For groceries if not occupied. Have 3 kids so the extra 2 seats may only be needed for long distance journey for comfort. Don't think the H1 have that trunk space.

Never was a fan of the corolla but I saw one on the road some time back and it looks pretty ok.

The revo with the DRL's looks better than the ones without I find. Saw one of the first few on the road and donno if is me or part of the vehicle paint dont match with the rest of the body. Is it possible that it got in an accident already and was painted over before being sold?

[agent007]

are car prices going down? see below as a few examples:

Isuzu D-Max 4x2 d/c - $155k (was 180k)
Chevy Colorado 2.8 LT 4x4 automatic d/c - $225k (was 250k)
Chevy Cruze 1.8 LT leather, sunroof - $209k (was 235k)
Mitsu Lancer GT 2.0, sunroof - $240k (was $260k)
Chevy Captiva - $299k (wasn't this like $385k??)
Mazda 6 2.5, leather, sunroof - $350k (was $375k)

does anyone have anymore examples?

[drchaos]

Car sales for this month will be low because people will be waiting for the drop in VAT come JAN. So the stealerships will be looking to entice people.

Also we are in a recession and stealerships tend to really suffer! In about a year car prices will drop and buyers will have so much more negotiating power!

[Ronaldo95163]

The 4x2 D-Max LS was 180k

you sure you saw that 155k correctly???

[scotty_buttons]

7 seats!

Agree with Sorento being king. There's a video on YouTube where a group of ppl debadged a Sorento and asked some random ppl in the public to check it out and guess what brand they think it is.. Almost everyone thought it was one of those premium brands (BMW, Mercedes, etc. )

That simply means people don't know vehicles that's all. Or they are brand snobs.

[Morpheus]

Nah but that new Sorento front end looks real good. Can't really blame those people who see it for the first time....

[scotty_buttons]

For value you can't go wrong with it. IMO, it's a pretty handsome SUV and I'm one of those anti Korean persons. The only thing I don't like is the style of the LED brake lights. And front DRLs.

Saw a white one on the highway once. My word.....

If you think the white is nice, wait until you see the silver..the black/white with the chrome trimmings look amazing too eh, but that silver is something else..Kia really takes win in this rounds..but those prices..I just built a 'fully-fully' loaded one, optioned to the teeth on the American website for a grand total of approximately $310k..whereas (according to the figures quoted on Pg.1) that money can't even get you a basic Sorento..I understand we have VAT and MVT and what not..but why such a huge gap?? And on top of that, our stealerships versions of fully loaded means 'we still have more options..but you either can't get them in this market or you still have to spend more money..'
