2013 Kia Sportage consumer reviews

Before my engine seizing I would of recommended this car. Having done the KSDS update and fuse replacement thought it would of been smooth sailing, wrong. Live in Canada, warranty expired 2023. Now my beloved Kia is deemed as scrap with a seized engine. Either pay so used motor (gamble) or junk it. Still not sure what to do.

I have enjoyed my Kia Sportage. It gets good gas mileage on a trip. It is the sportiest car I have ever had. It is a good looking car. I love the wheel covers. I get compliments on the looks of it. I brought it from Alabama to Wyoming without a hitch.

The motor locked and it only had 138,000 miles . The mechanic said the oil was good and no leaks so the motor was just bad . If there’s a recall can I get it repaired ? Now I’m without a vehicle . I heard Kia’s were great cars . So I guess not because it sure didn’t last long .

Excellent, eye catching exterior and interior design. Greatt handling, reliable, zippy, and an excellent infotainment system. Only downside is it's hard riding.... you'll feel about every bump. I loved the car until my gf wrecked. I miss it.

I think it is junk and left me stranded in the middle of the night by myself. I've only owned it for 6 months. It has a recall for the engine blowing up that I never knew about.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a Kia, don’t do it. They do not stand behind their product. The engine suddenly failed on my 2013 Kia Sportage and even though there is a recall on the engine, Kia still refuses to repair it and there are apparently many others going through the same thing with Kia. Buy another make, Kia is not a trustworthy vehicle, the are engine failures on lots of their vehicles.

Bought this as a used car. 34 days after purchase, at 87k miles, the engine seized. With the amount I have spent on the car and getting a new engine I could have bought a much nicer, newer car.

This was my first car and I am so in love with it. It met all my expectations and the best part is I haven’t had any MAJOR issues with it at all. As long as you get it checked regularly, it’ll definitely last you awhile.

Great family car and have family of three currently. Front seat could be a little comfier other than that a great car. FWD only model has pretty good traction

This car met all my needs when my daughter started her high school years,and served us great. I thought it was big enough for us,but I need to look for a bigger vehicle now that my daughter has graduated,and my family is growing.
