    Having owned the out going Sorento, (GT LINE 2.2 Diesel) and driven many klms throughout QLD, over various terrain, it really only had one flaw, the Transmission Tune. It looked at a hill and it would change down, 7th , 6th or 5th, the engine has plenty of Power (Torque) to hold 8th gear on these same hills, which one constantly had to manually shift back up to 8th, 8th also gave better fuel economy on the same hills. The Sorento needs a manual gear selection capability, so one can select manual override and it would not change down gears. Plus it probably the best value and spec'd at it's price point..

    Mr Sauce, at least with the petrol you could rely on the transmission to actually function. Have a petrol of the just past model and it is brilliant. You can keep your diesel.

    The relentless speed limit and speed camera beeping is beyond annoying and some would argue more distracting and dangerous than not having it. I would not buy any new Hyundai & Kia solely because of it and the fact we’re not ‘allowed’ to disable it.

    Revs on the right side of instruments is not good. It is good they still have the stalks in the correct spot but the speedo should be on the right side on right hand drive cars. When people say "you get used to it", I say you can used to jail too but I don't want to.

    To this car a Petrol V6 Turbo or 2.0 HEV would fit much better than Diesel. Both - pre-life and post-lift looks great, but I like the new more.
