Quantum 5th Gear June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 Yes but sometimes its useful especially when u need higher ground clearance. Moreover people say in SUV more safe than in sedan. And boot space suv also bigger and carrying ikea items would have no problem not absolutely suv safer than sedan, suv high gravity center, means increased probability of turning turtle, ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about the built quality of Korean cars. Feel safer with Japanese cars. tried and tested. Anyone have experience with Kia and Hyundais? Heard from one of their dealer that the car craps out after 3 years. What confidence... errrr......are we talking abt 1990 here or today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiyotakamli Supersonic June 20, 2014 Author Share June 20, 2014 not absolutely suv safer than sedan, suv high gravity center, means increased probability of turning turtle, That one if high suv like fortuner but short suv will be harder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darky8888 4th Gear June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 That one if high suv like fortuner but short suv will be harder agreed... it also depends on how it is being driven... u cant expect a SUV to take corners like an EVO or WRX... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aukang 6th Gear June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 So TC not bringing in the new X trail?

Stdfrank 1st Gear June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 Actually it is not really a SUV, more of crossover, in btw SUV and hatchback. The shape of qashqai is nice I must say. I think The one TC bring in is Made in uk, they may even bring in 1.2L 115bhp turbo engine later this year which is already being sold in uk. Cannot image how it can pull the heavy body of the car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshiyosh Clutched June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Xtrail is end of the year. Somehow the reports from other countries like UK and Oz seem to indicate a better value for the qhasqai. Has anyone test drive the car? Do you find it noisy? engine noise etc. With regards to Korean Cars. I am actually eyeing the Sportage and Sorrento. Anyone with any experience driving these cars? I got a little turn off after reading that they fudge on the fuel consumption by overstating it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuelsaver Supercharged June 22, 2014 Share June 22, 2014 (edited) For SUV that handles like sedan would be forester xt, while space not compromised. Also tried the face lifted tucson. Very willing engine n transmission, not sure of fc though. Cx5 felt draggy. Crv 2 n 2.4 reasonable power n most spacious. Most powerful fr 0-80kph has gotta b sorento 2.2 diesel. Literally leaves the rest in rear view mirror. Last tried qashqai last yr, headrm n legrm at rear not that good, reasonable power like crv 2.0. Most willing NA engine = tucson. Tc no need say liao.
