2008 Kia Sportage consumer reviews

I bought my Kia sportage used for 5000 best car I ever owned very little problems . Been very reliable. Love driving it would recommend to anybody

I purchased it through a dealership recently and making payments on it, it's a 5 speed stick, it runs really Great, great gas mileage, has just over 95,000 miles on it, the engine is quiet, great pick up, I'm really glad I bought it

Bought new in 2008 (14 miles on it). Still going strong at just under 100,000k. Accelerating to overtake has always been a bit of an art, but the handling has gotten me out of quite a few potential situations. Having had to rent or borrow SUV's on trips while out of town I hv to say that the Sportage is much nimbler...maybe it's the design. Like a little bullet. The length is perfect for NYC close parallel parking...trust me, I've gotten into outrageously small spots nicey-nice! The flat seating for extra cargo room has helped me move friends, work kids' sporting events transporting display mat'l, folding tables & chairs, deliver mid-sized skids of food during the pandemic so whoever says Sportage has no cargo room hasn't tried. Regular maintenance-even after the fantastic warranty expired-has been key. A few dings (no rust) and still gets compliments when she comes out of the car wash. Never let me down thru 14 yrs of crazy NY snowstorms. And it's a really smooth, quiet ride on the highway. Hoping to ride it 'till it cain't ride no more'.

I wanted to provide an update from my original review in 2011. I have owned this vehicle for 10 years now and it has been a very reliable car to drive over that time. I did have to replace the A/C compressor and power steering pump (which was included in my extended warranty) but have not had any other issues to note. Over the past 10 years this vehicle has been a pressure to drive and its never let me down in the snow. I did change the timing belt and spark plugs and only have 84,000 miles on it, so I can be good for another 10 years if I choose. I would recommended this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a reliable used SUV under $5,000!!

The advertisement stated a nice car problems after problems be aware if your looking to purchase a car DO NOT GO HERE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I was looking for an SUV and this fit the bill. Reliable and roomy. I have not driven it in the snow yet, but down pours have been no problem.

The car has great head and leg room. I always have problems with head room while as a passenger and driving. But both have extra space for me.

Bought mine from a friend for ridiculously cheap and put about 1 grand on repairs. It had 150k mi and just needed some love. Sadly, a minor accident ended up totaling my `08 Kia. I hadn?t even had it quite a year but I loved it and I miss it! Didn?t get a new one only because I have a growing family and wanted something bigger. This has great gas mileage and is fun and easy for a couple with no kids, one kid or if you don?t take long road trips in it. I could easily see myself getting another Sportage if I?m ever looking for a small vehicle again.

Its the exact size that I need just for me. Thank you Malik Salisbury and everyone else for your patience with me. It has been 7 years since I had my own vehicle. I love it.

Reliable in durability and comfort with maximum storage for a small size SUV. Would recommend to the Pope.
