Kia 4x4 TV commercial

Howdy all, just flew back from Sydney after filming the new Kia Sorrento TV commercial. I was the precision driver on it, so I got a couple of brand new Sorrento's to flog throughout the Southern Highlands of NSW for 5 days.

Well, I was very rude about them at the start, but I've had to change my tune. They were a surprisingly good little bus both on and off the road. They certainly do have a useful low range and the LSD was very effective. With the 3.5l 24V V6 and auto they went some very surprising places. We had a Rangie, HJ75 troopie, lifted 100 series and a GU 3.0l auto as support vehicles and the Kia had no problems keeping up or leading, however the back end can step out a bit over corrugations when you least expect it. Give them some decent AT's and a bit of a lift and some people may be very surprised. I was. As a cheap all-rounder, not bad at all.

May have to test drive one of those turbo diesel Terracans now.

BTW speaking of surprises, there'll be 'a big one' at the end of this ad too! (and I don't write 'em)

And the normal disclaimer for the record - I have no affiliation with 'Kia' whatsoever (or any other car company for that matter) and do not stand to gain or benefit from them financially, or otherwise, in the future.
