Just collected my Sportage 3 Sat Nav in white. Good looking and seems very economical so far.
Any tips for a first time Kia buyer? Things to look out for, essential purchases etc?

Cheers

Had it professionally detailed including sealing the wheels as that seems to be a weak area. Are there any other common faults I should look for from you experts!
Cheers

You'll find most of the 'issues' on here if you look, enjoy, Arctic Whites are the best.

Thanks, I think the white looks great. Only problems so far are..
1. Getting used to doors/boot autolocking when dropping kids off!
2. Bluetooth won't log on to nearest phone automatically, it keeps looking for the last one used?
3. TMC traffic not working which I believe is Kia not paying for the licence, which is frustrating as I use it!
4. Doors need a slam, but have got a bit better.

We like it!

collected my 3 satnav on Saturday in Artic White. Been so happy with it. Feels good when people look as you drive past, and the comments I have had from friends and relatives are all fantastic. Lovely car to drive, good gear change, comfortable, and seems good on fuel. Have ony done a couple of hundred miles but am getting close 40mpg (39.7). Haven't found anything yet that I don't like yet.

My Sportage 3 Nav is going back to the garage on Monday to have side boards fitted. John Grose of Lowestoft is charging me £350 to supply and fit.
