KIA sport age fits my needs

The vehicle fits my needs better than my previous SUV since it’s smaller and fits into garage much better than my previous vehicle. I thought the gas mileage would be better than 28mpg, but its sufficient not great. I believe the seats could be a few inches wider at least on the drivers side. I have the turbo model and it has very good power. The price was right and has a lot of options. This was a good choice and value for our small family.

Best car in all weather

The Kia Sportage is the first car I’ve owned and it is so reliable, especially in the snow and bad weather, which we have plenty of here in New England!

Amazing First Car

After testing out many similar cars, this car was one that I immediately felt safe in. It’s comfortable and heavy, yet you feel like you can zip around quickly. Although this is a first car, it would work great for any family. It is smooth, it has tons of room on the inside, and there’s a lot of room in the back to store stuff.

Best vehicle I have ever owned.

This car is better than I ever expected. I am now a SPORTAGE fan. I have driven a Buick Enclave and the Kia Sportage blows the Enclave out of the water.

So far, so good with the reliability.

I traded my Kia Soul for the bigger Sportage that I can tow with. This is my second Sportage and l liked them both. In fact, I've had a total of 5 Kias purchased primarily for the warranty. I've found them to be a high quality, fun vehicle. They don't seem to be built down to a price. My girlfriend and her son both bought Kia's on my recommendation, and so far, they love em!

Very pretty car

I love the white exterior and black interior. The side mirrors make backing up and parking easy. The air conditioning and heat work really well.

Rides like a luxury small SUV

Handles great, excellent creature comforts. The turbo gives it a great punch. I would compare it to a much more expensive small SUV. Love driving it.

Drives well

Decent car but not spectacular with limited luggage space and less impressive performance. My wife loves the appearance and that is why we bought this car. I would get a Sorento next time.
