Kia Sorento owner and friend Kenneth Sow invited me to check out his 2017-2018 Kia Sorento diesel in the Genting run. It is a very nice and powerful SUV, and is nice to drive. The Sorento is made for family use, and seats 7 people in great comfort.
Despite its weight, the Sorento did a good job, and the run was quite good except for some tyre screeching, but that was just me trying to maintain a good speed through the bends. Thanks Kenneth, for the ride.
We also met up with other Sorento owners at Genting, and I made many new friends that day.

Ive been watching your videos for the past week uncle. Cant believe u can tell the tire needs more pressure just by driving. Truly a sifu.

@YSKhongDriving 4 жыл бұрын

You can actually feel the tyre folding in when taking the corner. Acquired skill. This is not the first time. I have found cars with too much air, and too little air.

Thanks Uncle for the steering tips. I always thought hand-over-hand technique meant crossing the hands when turning the steering!

@YSKhongDriving 4 жыл бұрын

No worries. The more people learn, the better. Too many people misunderstand the concept. I had one guy lock his hands up and ran out of road trying to turn left into a junction, and would up on the opposite lane. Luckily there were no oncoming cars. You should have heard and seen the shelling he got from me.

@autorismo 4 жыл бұрын

Me too drive with the push pull method. Singapore driving schools teaches that way. If we cross our hands during turning, we will get minus points.

I will have to take the CX8 up the mountain to compare. We did a test on level ground and it was good, but hard to tell at this moment which is better. Anyway this Sorento is the previous model and not the 8-speed.
