I got the phone call from my dealer this morning, my Sportage GT Line Mhev manual in blue flame is ready for collection on Tuesday. I ordered on the 19th January.
That’s brilliant new, NY1. Pick mine up on Monday. Have a great day on Tuesday.
March 6 th ,I’ve ordered gts FHEV AWD in infera red ,soon I hope, all your chosen models look tasty .
There’s a few different sportage models, as we all know ,gt line s has smarter wheels 18″ I think , the gt lines do look alike , ,no big deal I suppose.
GT Line S HEV wheels are totally pants in my opinion, they are the only let down on a great car, that’s why mine are coming off after I pick up on Monday!!

Hope all goes well Monday 🙂
What wheels are you planning on?
Cheers, @kezo. It’s been a while since the test drive, but looking forward to driving it again.
I’ve brought the wheels from Wheelbase who have been excellent with all there advice. So these are a proper fit for the Sportage HEV 18″ wheels, which I’ll be swapping the tyres on to.
Was going to get the HEV wheels powdered coat gloss black, but thought these were much better, and I can take them off when the car goes back!

Don’t forget to inform Mobility and their insurance company prior to going ahead it’s classed as a modification.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.

Thanks @Oscarmax, you just save me a tidy sum. Motability refused permission to change the wheels, due in their terms to Directline insurance and vehicle warranty. So wheels are going back FOC due to being within the 14 day period. The company were brilliant.
3pm pick up today, really love a handover day!!
That’s the thing with forum , yes some unhappy participants but can pick up valuable information , on forum if people are not sure of something .

Your right to follow @Oscarmax advice, preventing any issues down the line.
Don’t forget put up sme pic’s of your shiny new car 🙂
Picked the Sportage yesterday. and it’s just as nice to drive as I remembered from the test drive back in January. Here’s a couple of photos the wife took after a drive around the countryside and stopping for an early evening meal out. Will take some more today and post later along with our experience of the handover and first thoughts on the car
@Markymate looks very nice, I do really like the green. It has a certain Hulk vibe to it. I think it suits it well, especially with the black roof. One thing that I liked about the Sportage was the colour selection had something other then black, grey and white. Have you seen the yellow you can get?

Yes, I’ve seen the lemon splash colour, and like the fusion orange, KIA no longer do those colours, would definitely have gone for the orange!! But the green and black roof combo looks very smart.

@des, we are still considering getting them powder coat gloss black, but to be honest, they look darker than when we saw them on the showroom model back in January, might have been the lighting in the showroom.
@kezo Cheers mate.After picking up yesterday afternoon, we had a fair drive around with a mixture of town, motorway, and country roads, plus bit more of each this morning, and the car is telling me I’ve been getting 51.4 MPG. Happy Hybrid figure!! Getting the seating position perfect was easy with the 10 way electric seat, all the bings and bongs have now been switch off, or down. I’ve got some serious manual ready to do but things seem to be quite intuitive from my point of view. Like always, driving a new car for the first few days can take some time to feel comfortable, but this is a seriously nice car.
Handover was brilliant, Clint Louis has been fantastic throughout from order to pick up. It was really refreshing, the wife even baked him a slab of millionaire short bread. The only downside was he was on holiday last week, and despite me taking in the retention document, and the number plates, the dealership still managed to not register the car with my number!! Be on to Motability and have now transferred the number, so will swap them over later.
