2011 Kia Sportage: Good car but launch delayed



Even though 2011 Kia Sportage was launched with much funfair at Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, the car is being launched in many countries this month. However, the positive review that it has received in many countries has made it one of the most awaited car in many countries.

The main reason for launching the new redesigned Sportage was to increase the market share of the car. However, this will not be easy as Hyundai Tucson is a market leader in the SUV segment in many countries and breaking its hold will not be easy.

Some of the positives of the car include spacious cabin, well-fitted interiors, easy to use controls and centrally located touch screen.

2012 Kia Cadenza: What to expect from the new model



Kia is planning to launch the 2012 Cadenza soon. Here are some features that we love in the 2011 Kia Cadenza and would love the company to include it in its upcoming model:

  • The 2011 Kia Cadenza is the value for money car that has several features that are only available in expensive models.
  • The look of the car is great, so we don't expect the company to make any major change in the new version of the car.
  • Also, the car is spacious and ideal for people who are looking for a car that they can use when holidaying with their family.

However, the 2011 Kia Cadenza was not perfect and we expect the company to make changes in the 2012 Kia Cadenza.

  • The steering is not smooth especially at high speeds.
  • The handling of the 2011 Kia Cadenza is not easy especially on city roads.
  • The noise of the wind when the car is driven at high speed is annoying.

2012 Kia Picanto: Compact yet Spacious
