Great to Drive!

This vehicle is exactly what I was looking for inside and outside and is a joy to drive. I receive many compliments already and at least two of my friends have mentioned that they would love to own one. And I make sure I let them know my experience at Volkswagen Moon. My total experience with this KIA Sportage has been awesome and I know it will continue to get better. I really love this SUV!

Drives great and very comfortable.

The interior is very roomy. I love the leather seats. The car has been so easy to maintain. The windows are designed to give you a great site line. The car gets good mileage and I feel safe in it.

Well thought out vehicle

Plenty of power, I have the turbo engine. Very comfortable and reliable. Mileage averages from 24 mpg to 28 mpg depending how I'm driving. Great value for a mid sized vehicle.

Unsafe to use for Community Events

Wife returned to dealer in tears for cash price to get rid of it. Still considering Lemon Law. I have had to cancel multiple Community Events because car unsafe or not Handicapped usable. At this time I would not recommend a Kia. KIA U.S. unable to resolve problems with Dealerships. Dealership unwilling on unable to repair. KIA Techline does not talk to KIA U.S either. As a customer your on your own. This car has been in the shop for thirty one days of the last three months and it is still not fixed. Service Manager explained “I don’t give a D___ about your wife’s saftey or yours. That is your problem.” Purchase was one of the biggest mistakes that I have made in thirty years.

Love the car.

This little KIA Sportage 2018 has been a great car. I bought her last year previously owned from a KIA dealership. The only issue I had was the touch screen no longer responding, and that was fixed by the dealership as part of the warranty. The quality of the car is very good. Plusses are. Good exelleration, a smooth drive, automatic and semi manual transmission. Lots of great features and it handles really well. I haven't had any issues at all. Great car.
