I like it a lot.

Pros - It is roomy and has a decent cargo area. Drives nice and has great pick-up. Cons - Leather interior and heated steering wheel not offered unless you buy the Gt/turbo model. Lots of plastic in the interior. It’s 2 months old and scratches everywhere already.

Hesitation is s major problem.

Trying to merge into traffic is a major problem. You got to lay on the gas. Wait and pray. I owed two other kias before this and was never a problem. Sorry I bought this car

This car is great!

This is my 2nd sportage. I traded in my 2017 for my 2019. Both are great cars! My 'silver bullet' s awesome! it handles great in wind & heavy rain. My 2017 was GREAT in snow. I'm confident my new car will be, too. Great car, Excellent price. So d glad I found Kia Sportages & SF Kia. Great dealership#

Something is wrong with the electronic transmissio

I test drove a lot of cars and thought I had found the most comfortable for what I could afford. I knew I was giving up some MPG but I really needed good seats and did not want all the extras on EX models. The shifting has NEVER been right. The car vibrates and hesitates at two rpm/speed ranges and Kia is either unable or unwilling to try to understand and fix it. I've gone through the dealership and the national office and they wont even let me drive it with a field rep to show them what it is doing.

Great Vehicle Horrible Dealer

beautiful intuitively designed car. A pleasure to drive, great value. Meets our needs and then some. Definitely love Kia products, unfortunately their dealerships are a sub par train wreck.

Most reliable car that I have owned.

Driving over 500 miles, the drivers seat is very uncomfortable. However, it gets great gas mileage on the Highway: 24 - 59 miles per gallon.

best looking crossover

I owned a 2005 KIA sportage which I purchased new in 2005. That vehicle has 140000 miles and my granddaughter is still driving it. I haven't had any mechanical issues while I had it. at 100000 miles I had the spark plugs replaced. at 120000 miles I had the struts replaced and also had a complete brake job. We also had a 2011 sportage. I traded in my 2011 and purchased the 2019. With the past history of my KIA's i know this 2019 will be just as good. I truly love it!
