What I like about those Kia models is they are fully loaded with kit for a third of the price of the German cars ( in the UK that is). I will look at these when changing my vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive The Sportage 3 , though I may well change it next year I'd get another Kia in a heartbeat but I'm not too sure yet.

Esco Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 BMW 420i grand coupe. Great car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompho Ray Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This is my baby, 1986 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Pictures taken earlier today. Bought brand new in September of 1985. About 220K on the clock. Her appearance suffers from literally decades of neglect, but she starts immediately, runs like a dream, no squeaks or rattles, good highway manners, easy to drive in traffic. Part-time 4WD means she's great in snow. Bumpers are the only non-stock items. Been off the road a bunch of times (purposely), took everything I threw at her and kept up with anything that was not heavily modified. I keep promising her that I'm gonna fix her up. I truly do mean to do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the US, the new model year cars are usually released in September. I'd been looking at this vehicle prior to the new model year introduction and had pretty much settled on it, but the new model year had an independent front suspension instead of a solid axle, and the reviews I read raved about the improvement. So, I went for the '86. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompho Ray Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 BTW, the sharp-eyed will note the similarity to the Toyota pickup in "Back to the Future". That was a 1985 model year, same generation as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to do many miles, fortunately! If something breaks on it, it goes to the car park in the sky... I said farewell to an old friend, yesterday. The clutch, which has been threatening to fail all summer, decided to laugh at me for wanting to do a slight hill start, fortunately outside home. Quote from garage was £270. If I didn't know that the steering pump needed replacing, the front suspension was knackered, and the brake servo so dead you needed to plan braking weeks in advance, I'd have spent it. As it was, the local breakers gave me £80. Public transport for me for the next 3 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another added expense I don't need at present. Though as the child grows, I probably will get something small for the 3 of us to go out and about at weekends. Also think it would be good for the wife to drive wherever when i'm at work. Ditto......once the wee one comes over I may lease a car, probably a Ford Focus but I would like a Kia Sportage..... It's an added expense I presently don't need as a bus takes me from a bus stop 2 minutes away from my house to another bus stop 3 minutes away from work.

drifter Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) This is my favorite vehicle of all time. I could go anywhere and do anything. So I did. When I retired, I bought the camper used for a few thousand dollars and traveled around America. I couldn’t come to Thailand, my dog was already 13 and the heat would have killed him. So we bummed around and had the best time of my life. Now I’m here full time, life is even better. I just got my Thai license. Unfortunately Jeeps are crazy expensive here. But then, I’m retired, and living in Thailand. It’s hard to complain.😆 Edited October 13, 2018 by drifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in them days mate. The 4Runner was pretty much a converted Toyota pickup (we didn't have the "Hilux" name here). That black rear roof on my truck is actually a removable cap, although it's never been off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
