Love the body style

This is my last new car purchase and it had to be perfect. I found the most comfortable SUV ever in this Kia.

What A Beautiful Car

I like my new 2017 Kia Sportage. It's a very smart, good looking car. Tthe silver color is very rich looking. It's a quiet ride and you really don't hear outside noise. I like the way it handles the road. The lane assist is very helpful and makes me feel safer knowing I have that extra help to change lanes. I like the fact that I can press the talk button and have the radio station changed. I don't have to remove my hands from the steering wheel.

A pleasure to drive

The SX turbo Sportage is one fun vehicle to drive. It has plenty of performance, handles well, and plenty of technology. I was actually surprised by the seating space both in the front and rear. It has sufficient room for my needs.

Surprisingly roomy and made me a convert!

I've never previously been interested in Kias but my husband had been looking into the Sportage as our next potential SUV. Admittedly I was skeptical but I found myself pleasantly surprised at the features and space of this vehicle. The acceleration was to be expected for a standard 4 cylinder, but the handling was tight and the comfort of the ride solid. The torque and cubic space are both higher than the comparable Q5 but at 70% of the price.

I absolutely love my new Kia Sportage. It is elegant, classy and convenient. Has the comfort of a high end vehicle without the price.

Great Car

We traded in our Kia Soul for a larger car and purchased the Sportage EX. The Soul was a great car and it never gave us any problems, but we felt like we needed a larger more solid car. We have only had the Sportage for a few weeks, but we love it. We wanted leather seats so that is why we went with the EX model. We did not want a sunroof so we were not able to get all the features we wanted.The EX models with a sunroof seem to have more bells and whistles. My only complaint is that the seatbelts in the back did not work well with the booster seat. We did purchase an extension and that has solved that issue. We use to zip around in the Soul, but we seem to take our time and enjoy the ride more in the Sportage.

very happy

This is my second Kia Sportage. Gave my first to my son for college. Was always a Ford buyer, and have completely switched to Kia and couldn't be happier!
