Excellent on fuel consumption.

Great fast little vehicle between SUV and sedan. Absolutely fantastic fuel consumption. I get little over 30/gl. Plenty of space on the front (and I am 6'4''). Little tied leg room back seats. Trunk great size...love it.

KIA the new SUV

This car met all my needs. SUV type, but not too big. All the bells and whistles and the best part it is AWD. My grown children can also fit with plenty of leg room.

Good family car

Purchased new with the 2.4 liter engine as best choice for suv with only about 180 HP. I wished they have a v6 model with at least 240HP and I didn't like the option of the 4 cyl with turbo because I think it will be trouble some in the future the turbo version. Use it to go to work daily. I can say it is a good family car with enough room for 4 adults. After all it is a nice SUV with no trouble since I had it in late 2016 to present. Never tested my kia of road so not sure how good it is but I have used the all wheel drive in trouble some uphill on wet slippery road and the car did deliver what a 4x4 should do with no slipping. Ok in gas mileage. I just wish they include a v6 in future model. About the options it is very current and up to date with keyless entry, keyless start, automatic trunk open, bluetooth for music and phone connections, etc. On weekend can't wait to drive my 5th generation, v8 camaro to satisfy my hunger for an american muscle car.

I love my Kia Sportage

This is my third Kia Sportage. This is my fourth Kia. My first Kia was an Optima, however, I needed a little bit larger vehicle and picked the Sportage. It has meet all our needs and is a very dependable car. I have no complaints on how it drives, very smooth, hardly any maintenance on it. It is a very dependable vehicle and there is no doubt that there was be another Kia in our future.

Fun car but a few issues yet

So far so good! I am getting 24.7mpg. A couple of things bother me and it maybe because I haven't figured out how to adjust things quite yet. First thing, I cannot hear the navigation over the radio. I have tried adjusting the radio volume but it also adjusted the volume of the on-board navigation's volume to adjust to a lower volume. Two, not all my speakers are functioning; is this because my system isn't balanced? I don't know yet. Three, I was told if the key fob is near the driver's door the driver's door will unlock without having to depress the unlock button. I have not found this to be true. I do really enjoy the blind side alert and the panoramic sunroof.
