This upgrade has moved my focus from Sportage to Seltos, in particular the 1.5 EX+ Diesel. The value offering is worth the "size sacrifice". This new spec is so well put together and has everything that is needed. Compared to the Chinese competitors, which have every bell and whistle, I prefer the styling and build quality of the Kia. The Chinese cars seem to save you money on the purchase price, but will cost you more at the fuel pump and resale value. This really is a top quality offering in this sector of the market.

Resale value is theory that applies when you actually don’t want to keep the car. Cars don’t have value anyways.

Hi Juliet, So here goes: 2012 Toyota Fortuner 3L d4d 4x4. I pay almost R1700 per month. However, I do excess waiver. I went on the Hippo website and while very cheap alternatives are available, I was gently reminded that the quotations while vary according to risk profile etc. In my experience, the figure quoted is significantly cheaper largely due to higher excess amounts, making the offer seem attractive.

The Seltos is a great offering overall, I've just been iffy on my opinion of the headlights, that split looks weird. I love the rear single light strip though😊

My ideal Seltos will be blue with a black roof, a little nudge bar at the front, a tow bar at the back, and with a diesel engine 😀 ... Round of applause to KIA for offering such beautiful cars, I'm not sure whether a new design team was hired or the old one just upped their game😂👏 ...This thing, just like the Spotage, it looks stunning 😍 ...I would still pick the Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid over anything 😅... 26 years of age and my license only 2 years old, the lowest offer I got in this very same car with my details is R2230, which I think is crazy😂😂😂

2 year old license, for a 600k car and you got 2.2k for insurance? That's fair to me. You're still high risk.

The dashboard is very nice, much better than the Jaecoo.Thanks for showing it. Isn't the 1.5T engine not thirsty, like with the Chinese brands?

Great car until you need to have the clutch`s replaced in that dual clutch transmission, then you probably looking at around 50k+ in repair costs! Then also look at the costs of CV joints, on my wife`s 2012 Kia Picanto 1,2EX the quote was over 12K just for the left hand side outer CV!

@@thevillagemayor392 😂😂 Yes. People who buy these buy them for their driving dynamics and not reliability,space, practicality etc. Sadly the people of SA dont agree with you as the Corolla is n massive success story. And well, the Kia. A massive flop with barely any sales recorded monthly.
