I purchased a good deal, but it turned out that it had an almost brand new engine, so the deal was much better. Why the new engine? Because the old one was leaking oil. Yes, oil leaks and oil consumption is the major issue people on this car, I had read about it. As having a new engine, I don´t have the issue yet, but I am aware, and I care the oil. Other than that, it provides power and it is reliable. On the left hand, the habitability and visibility in the interior is not the best to say something. To enter I have to bend my head down a bit, and I am a short guy. Also, at high speeds, it is not very stable on the steering; you need to grab the steering wheel and correct a little bit. In summary, I am happy because of what I got for very cheap. But for a regular price, it wouldn´t be my first option, nor the last one either.

Do not buy a Kia

I bought this car brand new at Jim Butler on Long Rd. The AC takes forever to blow cold and then its not very cold and goes back and forth. Sometimes the blower for the heat just stops working. Sometimes while driving its like it slips into neutral and then my engine revs and of course I take my foot off the gas and when I put it back on it is running fine. There is no rhyme or reason for it happening, so I can't take it to the dealer to see what the problem is. One of windows quit working a long time ago. It eats oil. I always have to add some before my next oil change. I will never buy another Kia.

Nice car , but with issues

Drives good but since I bought it , it’s a a knock sound when I barely take off and another issue is it accelerates on its own sometimes , but when I take it to dealer to get checked they take it for a drive and it doesn’t do it so I just have to wait till it gets worse and than take it in to dealer, that’s what they told me at the dealer!

Aan amazing car

My 2017 has 38,000 miles on it and not one service call, other than normal maintenance. It's one of the quietest cars I've driven, including some newer and the ride is outstanding. The 2.4 engine deliver and amazing amount of power when you need it and highways speeds are quiet and comfortable. Admittedly, I'm a Kia fan boy, mostly due to this car. I would always recommend a Kia product

Oil sensor light

I love my Kia Sportage. Now my oil light is coming on, have been through a couple of recalls one being it catching on fire. Now I'm just wondering what's happening with this oil light coming on. I have to take it to Kia to see what's going on. I have 144,000 miles on it now. Hopefully this is a easy fix. My husband thinks it's the oil sensor.
