Close enough to it. You will NEVER find me buying a Korean car.Isn't Kia a girls car anyway?
Those Porsche spare parts centres love people like you, need a new radiator and water pump, no worries... $13990 please oh and another $4000 for labourMate, I will buy a 50 year old Porsche over any freakin Kia.
Go drive the Kia stinger, it will embarrass 95% of cars on our roads, many of them claiming to be sports cars.Close enough to it. You will NEVER find me buying a Korean car.
Mate, you might actually believe that, or you're trolling.Go drive the Kia stinger, it will embarrass 95% of cars on our roads, many of them claiming to be sports cars.
You have a strange method of evaluating your vehicles or justifying ownership of your 1988 hilux with 300,000km on it.Mate, you might actually believe that, or you're trolling.
Many Cars on our roads have been tested through YEARS of R&D as well as proven reliability and quality parts. The Toyota Hilux which was aforementioned is a prime example. A 1988 Hilux with 300,000 on the clock was hit with a wrecking ball, had a caravan dropped on top of it, was set on fire, dumped in the ocean, and then put on top of a building as it was imploded, and the car STILL ran.
Do any of those things to the Stinger, and it will crackle fast than rice bubbles!

We might not ever know the truth if a Kia Stinger would survive a drop from a caravan or dump in the ocean etc. But the Police use them so I think the police would thrash a car about as bad as you would ever see, id argue they are worse than the hilux treatment. I'm yet to see any crackle like rice bubbles.
Sidenote, how bad to police treat their cars, its like they let K-9s chew on every bit of interior, mount every curb they can, thrash it to the redline when its stone cold of a morning. one km driven by a policeman is like 100 km driven by a civilian. People who buy ex police chaser vehicles are worse off than even 16 year old Porsche buyers.

Well this is an even worse situation for the police. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that "the K-9s" must have done all the damage. But following on from your comments its the police who trash the interiors, ive seen interiors of police cars resemble a junk yard bomb site, scuffs and scrapes everywhere, holes everywhere, seats with fabric worn down so thin its barely there, donuts mashed in between the seats and they are 30,000-40,000km vehicles.Were to begin...
- I hope you're aware that the dog unit do not have their dogs travel in the police car... they travel is special fans specifically modified for them
- I have never seen a police car mount a kerb
- I've only seen Police thrash their cars when chasing someone

oh they thrash their cars alright. mount curbs, ram things, belt them to redline from dead cold. they are a tool of trade for them not a car that needs some mechanical sympathy to live.
I know of a police car that did 85,000km with no oil change services. Basically from brand new, nothing.. The oil came out looking like sand. I was involved with trading the car in, told the dealer it hadn't been serviced in 85000km and they still took it and some unsuspecting person bought it .
1 police driven km = 100 civilian driven km.
I owned a 1979 4wd hilux for a while.Mate, you might actually believe that, or you're trolling.

Electronic SteeringI owned a 1979 4wd hilux for a while.
Lacked power steering.
It was awesome I actually felt like I was driving the vehicle and felt like I always had full control.
I loved having to actually STEER the wheel to turn corners.
Not really.Electronic Steering
Best Ever
Enough Said lol
I love it. Like driving on airNot really.
Too many people misuse it and cut corners.
Price a VK group A blue meanie these daysI love the VK over the VL. They look more tough and beasty.
It is more comfortable and lazy the way modern vehicles have all these power options no doubt.I love it. Like driving on air
I can understand what you’re saying. I sometimes jump into one of our vehicles that’s manual and miss the feel of being able to control the vehicle.It is more comfortable and lazy the way modern vehicles have all these power options no doubt.
But the rare times I drove a non power steering vehicle, I did enjoy it.
I guess it’s just more of a challenge?
You cannot get away driving half assed in an old hilux.
But the thing was solid like a tank.
I didn’t have to worry about having bad accident where I’d have major damage.
