The Buying A Car Thread

Cankles-McJeggings

The ev6 is a car not an SUV. As is the Sonnet.

Kia suv range.

Seltos
Sportage
Sorrento

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.

rhouses

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.

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. 🤮

rhouses

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.

rhouses

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 😂

rhouses

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.

Cankles-McJeggings

It’s 70k aud for the gt line.

rhouses

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

alistair

gcw did you incur a cancellation fee/deposit loss?

gcw

alistair no, although I do have to pay for the home charging point that was installed as part of the deal (or pay for it to be removed). I’ll prob get it removed.

Hursty

I’m in the same position, just have the 7KW home charger which isn’t going to be used at these rates

Switching to petrol as its 33p cheaper per litre where I am, the robbing fuckers

Smooth sailing, lovely first drive with the Seltos. Will do a road trip in a couple of weeks and share some feedback if anyone is curious about KIA.

Gotta say, bose sound system was banging.

Cankles-McJeggings

How does it drive over beggars? At least the sound system will drown their screams.

BMW are having a shocker recently, look at this monstrosity they have just released, what were they thinking?

Looks better in that dark grey finish.

Silver / light grey makes it look like one of those Communist era box cars from the Soviet Union.

Cankles-McJeggings

Got wannabee gangsters and wanker footballers all over it.

Hursty

vinnyt77 I’ll take that as a tongue in cheek comment!

Probably one of the worst looking vehicles ever made, the designers have had a mare

vinnyt77 Looks better in that dark grey finish.

Just seen this finish in the flesh.

Looks a lot better than the pictures.

Massive fuck-off car though, not sure what one would want one for
