"I bought it! I love it, it's my very first over the top all the bells & whistles car. I found it online and went to see Mike and he hooked me up. So glad I kept looking and didn't settle for what I had already found."

"Purchased a 2013 Sportage LX (FWD), Sand Track exterior, black interior. Opted for FWD because AWD for where I live is pointless and most people that have it rarely use it. This car is awesome!!! Forget the optional 710 watt sound system, the base sound system is great. Compared to other car makers, Kia gives you a lot for your money. The UVO voice command system is really cool. Having Bluetooth is also great to have as well. The ride & handling are responsive and the interior has a lot of space, especially with the rear seats folded down. With the rear seats up this thing has plenty of room for 5 adults and cargo. My only complaint is that the rear window is a bit small. Definitely get the backup camera. For me reliability is a bit of an unknown so I only gave it 4 stars as I've only owned it a week. It's probably worthy of 5 stars based on other reviews I've read."

"I purchased a 2013 Sportage EX (AWD) because the SX Turbo was nowhere to be seen at the time (they don't stay around). I loved the vehicle and was willing to settle for the 2.4 L engine (although I had driven the Optima SX Turbo and thought I could never drive a normally aspirated engine again). Then came available the black cherry beauty Sportage SX unexpectedly at my local Kia dealership. I immediately traded my EX in, with a little $$ hit sorry to say, but I have not regretted it one bit. The SX turbo is awesome and a blast to drive. The sport handling is better also than the EX. Performs excellent with inclimate weather. The bottom line is that this car rocks and has all you need, inside and out, with exhilarating performance and technology. If you can find one or wait for one, spend the little extra money for the SX turbo package. I am grateful to Kia for raising the bar for the consumer. You won't find a better all around package for the value anywhere, period.""

"I recently purchased a white 2014 Kia Sportage Ex AWD. All I can say is WOW! It is beautiful on the inside and the outside. I upgraded and got the premium package which included a panaramic roof, dual tempature control, brushed heated/cooled leather, power seats, etc. I am sure glad I did because I love the roof and the seats warm up immediately! The day after I got it we got hit with a blizzard. I didn't go out and drive during the storm but I did the next morning and I had no problems at all, no sliding around, no issues. The headlights are awesome, esp with the led running through. I thought they would be more like dots like other leds, mine are like a strip of led not like light,light,light,light,etc its just one long strip of light like a light purplish, bluish color and the headlights themself are very white. The rims are really nice too, I get many compliments on them. The UVO entertainment system is very very cool. I love the touch screen, and hands free bluetooth features. You can store songs right into the stereo hard drive, hit a button and say 'play the beatles' and it plays them. I honestly do not have one single bad thing to say about this vehicle. I am beyond happy with my purchase and I can tell that my family and friends are jealous ;)"

"Everything about this car is great, the exterior looks are very dynamic looking, the interior feels like you're in the cockpit of a fighter jet, if you have been driving a luxury sedan that takes away the driving experience come over to a Kia Sportage.....reliability wasn't checked as I have not driven it for to long, but the warrantee with Kia is fantastic...."

"Always liked the way this car looks. Love the interior color and fabric. Serious dead spot in the acceleration at freeway speeds 50 and 60 mph. Gas mileage is disappointing, going to the gas station more than I like. The a/c smells like a wet dog. Big supports for the windshield create large blind spots. Still, I like my car."

"I bought 2013 LX AWD from schaumburg Kia and boy this car is amazing. I've had it for 3 weeks and already drove 600 miles (cant leave it parked!!). I average 23.5 mpg highway / city and its great for AWD. The 5 year bumper to bumper warranty is amazing. No worries about repair cost for a long time. Thanks Kia... Heard rumors that car sort of drives rough on the road. To me, the car takes over the road. Hands free device and radio button all on steering wheel and that said; Kia's first priorty are customers safety. Plan on getting Optima 2013. Well done Kia!"

"Just picked up a 2013 EX AWD and have been grinning ear-to-ear for a week. What a great little suv - loaded with features, great quality, backed by an exceptional warranty, and all at a price that's hard to beat. And most important of all, fun to drive, comfortable, responsive and good gas mileage to boot. Kia really got it right, and has had a few years to work out the kinks - this one's got a smoother ride, quieter than original 2011's, and fit and finish are well beyond what I expected. happy to now be part of the Kia community. And did I mention features - yep it's got them. My favorites are: AWD with lockable 4x4 mode, rear view camera, satellite radio, easy to use uvo for calls, nice jukebox feature, mud flaps, all weather mats, cooling glovebox, and much, much more. Thanks Kia."

"Overall a great suv. The SX packs quite a punch. Fully loaded, navigation system, stereo sound, panoramic sunroof adds to the interior and exterior look. Absolutely a great sporty suv. Great gas mileage ,and still has a260 hp. Such a smooth ride. KIA is definitely the next up and coming car company, great prices, great looks, with a lot of features,and the safety features are amazing , and a great warranty.... Love it so much that I purchased a second one for my wife."
