Took a ride in my mate’s new Cupra Formentor earlier. You’d be hard pressed to get a better drive at that price. Impressed
The Buying A Car Thread
Sounds very homoerotic.
Cankles-McJeggings the worst/scariest place I’ve ever driven was Sri Lanka
Fuck Sri Lanka.

Getting delivered on Sunday.
Hursty lol lol was just going to say, why the fuck would they use the word badass in their marketing. Cheeseball.
We have the sonnet here, which is half the price. I think the seltos is pretty much the same as the sportage, but is smaller. Might be wrong, didn’t do too much research on the differences between Europe and india.

Nah not Sonnet, Sorrento is the biggest suv Kia do. It goes Seltos (for birds) Sportage, Sorrento.
There’s nothing ‘badass’ about a seltos either I’m afraid. It’s for picking the kids up from school car.
Cankles-McJeggings ahh gotcha, there was an EV6 which was triple the price of what we paid for the seltos, which seemed to be their top tier model. Same pricing as BMW.
Here it’s the Sonnet then the Seltos and then EV6, pricing wise. But I might be missing a model between the seltos and ev6.

The ev6 is a car not an SUV. As is the Sonnet.
Kia suv range.
Seltos
Sportage
Sorrento
Cankles-McJeggings I think you need to drive in Bangalore to understand why a big fuck off SUV is nothing but a liability. Very happy with the size of seltos.

Cankles-McJeggings the sonet is considered a compact SUV here (same tier as the Ford Eco sport), and half the price of the seltos. And the EV6 Is categorised as an SUV here.

I’ve just looked. India is totes fucked up compared to the first world! The names, the range, everything is different. Ignore what I said. You haven’t even got the Sorrento which is a blokes car. You haven’t even got the Sportage either . Bigger than Seltos, smaller than Sorrento, but considered a soccer moms car. 
Cankles-McJeggings I think Sorento is the same category as Jeep Compass, going by the expected price. Only expected to come to india 2050? Google might be wrong with that date but wtf.
Cankles-McJeggings india will generally be smaller and higher across the board, because of traffic and shitty roads.

Sorrento same class as Toyota Prado, mitsubishi pajero and Hyundai Santa Fe.
There’s no way a car company would project 27 years 
Cankles-McJeggings Weird they didn’t bring down the Sorento to India (the website leads me to the US site unlike the others), guess there isn’t a market for it here yet.
It’s 70k aud for the gt line.
Cankles-McJeggings Give or take, that’s what the Jeep Compass is going for here. Have 0 interest in doing off roading, the normal roads here give me that experience. I’d have probably stuck with the seltos if the Sorento was available.
I cancelled my EV car order last week. Had a look at the finances of it again, weighed it all up and decided to cancel. It was only a lease agreement anyway so I wouldnt have owned it. I’ll now be looking at the 2nd hand car market, but will wait a few months to see if the market settles down a bit
