Wanted to try the sportage but have to wait for que, then settle with Rondo. The diff :
1) Keyless, remote now in 1 pc
2) Awful lock/unlock sound still there
3) More chrome part inside the car, the door lock/unlock button,
4) 2nd row no more split 60/40, all in 1 pc
5) Door opening not solid like my 1st batch Rondo
6) No more Naza logo in the entire car.
For performance wise I think still a par with my ageing Rondo, I hit 110K KM on the odo meter

Thanks for sharing ~~ Keyless Entry is common now. And I thought they would put Theta II engine in, and it seems still Theta I = codename G4KA.

Keyless entry means without having to manually press the "unlock" button on the remote controller, the door handle can be pulled and open the door, so long as the key is within 3 meters radius from the car.
So nice to hear you have got yourself to 70k km, and please keep up the good ride

So far 20615 km when I handed the MPV back to my spouse to drive daily to work yesterday, 375 days run to date. No modification whatsoever, tyres already rotated once at 15k km. Will rotate the next at 30k km mileage. Then will continue with 10k km interval. Engine oil is 5W30 Petronas Synthium fully synthetics (seems no longer sold in the open market, only for Naza I think). The only thing changed so far (due to break down and under warranty) are two :
a. horn
b. Air conditioner compressor due to ball bearing cracked

I've also changed my coolant, brake oil and steering oil during 100kkm service.
Rondo, I think the best car that I've ever owned. If you ask me, what's your next car? Proudly and loudly say our : Kia, probably Sportage or Sorento.
