Love the 2018 Kia Sportage

2 weeks ago, I upgrade from 2015 Kia Sportage LX to a 2018 Kia Sportage EX. I want having any trouble with my 2015 at all, but was just curious at what improvements had come down the pike. I took a look online, and wanted to go for a test drive. So I motored on over to Sunshine Kia, met up with my trusty car dealer, Leon Cannon, and he for me behind the wheel. 60 seconds I knew I was going to buy. What an upgrade. Leather, bigger engine, sturdier suspension, greatly improved entertainment system, and a new information system I'm still learning. Between True Car & manufacturer discounts, I got a great deal. You should too.

Love My New Car!

The Kia Sportage offers great visibility & responsiveness. I downsized, got a cheaper car, and did not pay for as many bells and whistles. Even so, I like this car better!

Highly satisfied with the Sportage

I have always had 6 cyclinder engines, but so far, I am impressed with Kia's 4 cyclinder. I honestly can't tell the difference. Plenty of "get up and go" and a very comfortable ride. Headlights are more than adequate and fog lights are an added bonus. Backup camera with alerts for obstacles behind the vehicle, as well as blind spot alert, are additional pluses.

Fun to Drive

Bought our first SUV (Small one) and got a turbo charged little sports car that is fun to drive and fits our needs very well. Had the car for 4 months and so far have really enjoyed it.

More bells and whistles than I?ve ever had. Love i

Exceeds expectations. Comfortable ride, love the interior look and amenities. Exterior paint has excellent color and shine, great gas mileage. Ride could be more quiet.
