First SUV I have owned

This car has met my expectations when it comes to style and comfort. I haven’t owned a Kia in the past but it has been a very smooth and quiet ride. Hopefully, it will surpass my expectation when it comes to maintenance in the future.

My 1st and last Kia

I bought this car used with about 32000 miles on it. In two years I put about 50k miles on it and at 1st the car was a pretty reliable runner . I would have consistent problems with the tires getting flats. The FWD version does not do well in the winters. The lights are not bright enough. I have to check to see if they are on at all. The engine went out on me a few days ago and thank God it is covered under warranty. Kia's are good if you dont drive long distances. The quality is poor and it does not hold up well over time. This will be my last Kia. Back to Honda for me.

This is the second Kia Sportage i have purchased

This car is my second Kia Sportage and I absolutely love this vehicle . My last Sportage was 10 years old and had 145,000 problem free miles. So I traded it in for a new one. I loved the car so much I didn't even want to look at another make of car. I always have had the dealership complete my service, so I know the vehicle is getting the best care possible.

Worst car I have ever purchased, a real lemon

First after purchasing three months in the transmission went on a brand new car. Then it was recalled for the tie rod, now it is making a loud squealing sound. Nothing but trouble from the start!

Regret trading Nissan

I regret trading my reliable Nissan on this particular Sportage. I like most of the options with this Kia but not enough to buy another

Road trip, anyone?!?!

This car has potential and I believe it fits my needs perfectly. From driving to work everyday to needing to see my docs in Denver on the fly. Camping trips with my family or a day trip for the heck of it. I love it!

5 stars

The car is comfortable and has all the options a girl could ask for! The panoramic sunroof is incredible. The feel of the vehicle is reassuring.

Great car so far

Just purchased the Kia Sportage today. So far so good. It is easy to drive and extremely comfortable. Many features inside that makes it feel like a luxury vehicle.
