255k is almost 330k

When you round one up and the other down, is 300k

229 for 1.6 N.A and 244 if you paying for all in one.
255 1.5 Turbo and 279 for all in one.

Landing at the end of this month.

If it looks like the pics online... that should be one sick contender for its class, esp given the performance it's coming with.


madness with that price
you can get a host of suvs and even a mazda 6 /kia optima / hyundai sonata at that price.

For 255k?
What price list you using?

Mazda 6 from 299, Sonata 335 according to the front page.


The Mazda 6 with the 17" rims was selling for $278k earlier this year. It hasn't been $299k for more than a year now.

Isn't there only one trim Sonata and that sells for $335k?

Yup that wasn't an overly bad price considering it has 6 air bags, dual zone A/C, traction control, cruise control, i stop technology, touch screen audio system and a 9 speaker Bose system.
The downside on that base level was the halogen headlamps, uglish (IMO) 17" rims, so-so fabric interior and no factory installed reverse parking sensors (SS installs an aftermarket one for you). The 2.0l Sky Activ engine feels a bit sluggish as well but you get should get exceptional fuel consumption.

SS is a weak point however that hasn't stopped Kias from flying out the showrooms. There must be something more about Mazda the brand. However I find I do see a lot of the new Mazda 3s.

Kia's are hot sellers mainly because of the price I think ...
Koreans made their mark with loads of features at low prices.

Once the price is low enough people dont think twice about dancing with Southern Sales.

I think they have switched.The last Gen Kia's to me weren't that bad and the Hyundai's were odd looking.
The last gen elantra, Sonata, Tucson and accent looked like the designers were on a LSD trip. Now their line up looks amazing.

Kia has done the total reverse ... That sportage ...

And that was before MVT and VAT taxes were raised earlier this year too. Not sure if they applied to diesel vehicles though.

It was MVT and Duty and yeah supposed to be for Diesel as well. I remember the Minister talking about the price change to Prado's.

Supposed to have a moratorium on the new tax and don't know if its up yet.

Massy will soon be brining in the Hyundai ioniq, X trail hybrid and the Nissan leaf.

Will probably be early next year or end of the year.
