"Cars today are expensive. I'm 51 years of old age and I have had some beautiful cars off and on through the decades and after 11 months of ownership, I'm still getting compliments from strangers and coworkers. All that asside, I love this amazing machine. Honestly, it's just so nice! I enjoy looking at it as I get in it and driving it is a nice proud experience! Yup, love it very much!!"

"I highly recommend the Kia Sportage. I shopped around and compared the small SUVs and this was by far the best value for the money. It is a pleasure to drive."

"Driving around the 2012 sportage EX is a blast ! Very nice ride but also FUN to drive. I don't need another new SUV to be like my older SUV, just transportation... Really love this Sportage. Don't really understand all the negative comments about rear view blind spots ? Thats why the cars have sideview mirrors which on this one give you great views on the rear.. And comes with a back up camera.. I really think people are looking for something to complain about and this is the only little thing they can. I have been around cars and working at dealers for 40 plus years so I know what a good car is and this is one. Please go test drive one and then tell me about this car. Happy motoring !"

"I purchase a 2012 Kia Sportage with a 2.7 liter 4 cycl. 176 horse power, I've had this vehicle for over three months and it has over 11000 miles on it. This vehicle handles very well in snow and it does not burn as much gas on the interstate, I average about 24 mpg. It is the most comfortable and spacious vehicle I have ever own. If you are in the market of purchasing a new vehicle I would definately recommend the kia sportage. I pray that Kia and Hyundai continue to keep up the good work."

"I think the 5 stars says it all! I loved my Sorento 5 years ago or so, and I love my Sportage now. I downsized as my kids are now grown and have their own wheels and I don't need to be taxi mom any more, though I can drive them around comfortably in my Sportage when an occasion to arrives. Love love love it!"

"I need a car that will save me from the pump. I have a 2000 V8 Ford explorer bought it new. Tired of spending to much on gas, So I decided to look for a smaller SUV. I choiced KIA because of the warranty they offered. My son works with BMW company but he also recomended us this Kia sportage because of the quality and looks.Now after driving 3 hours just to pick up my New KIA sportage 2012 Signal Red..I love it love it love it. Fun to drive alot of bells & whistles on it inside even in LX FW... Speaking about attraction, yes I got alot of attention....When I drove up the hill..This baby just zoom zoom zoom with no problem.."

"This 2012 Kia Sportage is a far cry from previous years. It's feature-rich, drives with total ease, and looks terrific going down the highway. My first attraction to the car-maker was its great warranty. The coverage is unbeatable...then, after seeing and driving the vehicle, I was sold. I had the first seriously positive buying experience with the woman who sold me this car. She knew her stuff, treated me with respect, and added friendliness and humor into the process. But maybe all this isn't specific to Kia...maybe I just sort of lucked out on that aspect of the deal. I would definitely recommend this car - and I've owned over 30 new cars over my adult lifetime!!"
