Happy with my purchase

Was reluctant to purchase a Kia, but after driving it I am very pleased with the handling of the car, the interior is comfortable and roomy and purchasing regular gas has put more money in my pocket. Love My Kia

Most bang for your buck.

This vehicle is the best value and reliability by far for any car in its class. With the manufacture warranty what it is you have the confidence that you made the right decision in purchase.

Super impressed with this car!

The 2018 Kia Sportage I purchased is beautify designed and well built. The Brushed Copper finish catches your eye immediately. The car condition was clean and had all the features I was looking for...... All for a very reasonable price. For me it was pretty much love at first sight.

From truck to car

This car is making my transformation from my truck, and I?ve driven a pick up for about forty years, easier than I thought it would be. I?m older, 68, and grandkids made me do it! All wheel drive with four wheel drive priced right! My sales gal, Rachel at JoeFirment and her I-workers in Anon Ohio made this fun!

Handles very well. Good for all ages.

Exactly what you?d want/ need in a car. It?s my second Kia. Great gas mileage and it?s a good looking vehicle. I?m very happy with it.

Safe and reliable!

Love the car! It has plenty of room. Big trunk, lots of leg room, and the drivers seat is adjustable up and down (I?m really short so I need some height).

They just keep getting better!

This is the 3rd Kia Sportage I have had. All 3 have been the EX trim, and all have been different body styles. This current Model, the 2018 is in a world of its own. I still hear negative things about Kias from those who have never owned one. This vehicle is top notch in every way. The amenities are numerous, the ride and drive quality is beyond your expectations, and the versatility is astounding. They are simply fantastic! If you are in the small SUV market, drive everything else first, then drive the Kia Sportage. I think you?ll agree that you?ll quickly forget about the other test drives. It is simply so much more for the price than any other make with similar packages. You will not be disappointed!

Very solid feel when driving

I am past my prime and getting in and out of sedans took a lot of effort. In my kia its a breeze love the feel and the 4 wheel drive is absolutely fantastic

Great Car, nice comfortable ride

I love my sportage. My sister used to own one and drove it over 10 years. They seem to be very reliable and so far I am extremely happy and satisfied.
