Used compact SUVs for sale near Good Thunder, MN

I recently purchased a Kia, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its quality and value. It offers exceptional performance and features at a price point that's significantly more competitive than comparable models from other manufacturers. Kia vehicles also deliver excellent performance. My experience with Kia's reliability dates back to around 2020 when I lived in an apartment complex. During a severe rainstorm, the underground parking garage flooded, resulting in approximately 50 vehicles being declared total losses. Remarkably, my Kia and a high-clearance truck were the only vehicles to survive the ordeal. Many luxury and high-end cars succumbed to the flood damage. Interestingly, this incident became a topic of conversation among my neighbors. While they lamented the loss of their expensive vehicles, they couldn't help but comment on how the cheapest and oldest 2007 Kia had emerged unscathed. I sensed a hint of envy in their remarks as my car continued to function flawlessly despite the challenging circumstances. I continued to drive that resilient Kia for another four years before deciding to upgrade to a model with a rear-view camera. Naturally, I chose another Kia for my next purchase. Having owned vehicles from three different manufacturers prior to Kia, I can confidently say that Kia has proven to be the most cost-effective in terms of maintenance and repairs.

Great customer service. My Kia Sportage drives very comfortably. Love the heated seats. Great for carrying large items cause you can put the back seats down.

Awesome place to purchase and service you car. Highly recommend going to Kia of Mankato

I love mine. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty looking SUV. Not a rocket ship, but good fun transportation. Fun to drive.

KIA of Mankato Service Department is above none! When you arrive you are greeted immediately and treated like family. I appreciate their full explanations and keeping me informed of progress. The service video is a nice benefit. I will forever return to KIA of Mankato because of their exceptional Service Dept!!!

Excellent SUV for a mid-size used vehicle the comfort and the way it drives are great very roomy on the inside two thumbs 👍🏾👍🏾 okay KIA

Kia of Mankato is awesome! Friendly people and awesome service department! Service is always done sooner than expected! Service advisor Jeff Rigdon is great, kept me updated on my vehicle and goes over everything when completed.

after tons of research, started looking at the Kia suvs/sportage..I had driven Lexus RX, few other different luxury brands..I loved Kia’s warranty, 7r/10yr wow….even though owned cars and they NEVER required repair, but I do maintain and take care of my vehicles, first foremost regular oil/filter changes and sometimes even skipped a service check…so decided to test drive, I was pleasantly surprised it handled well, cabin quiet, hugs the ride, awesome sound system by H Kardon, suspension felt good( unlike last Lexus) it has all the bells and whistles, safety features. pep when needed, and gas mileage 27-up as high as 36 mph with sensible driving…oh yes 2 rear passenger has plenty of leg and head room, reclining rear seats even for 6ft + passenger was amazing surprise.. cargo area good size.. just could not find anything that turned me off the vehicle…so I bought one, and no regrets..

I visited Kia Mankato on a whim. The entire staff was amazing. Nikki Kalmoe answered all my questions she was very knowledgeable and most of all patient. I will definitely recommend my friends and family to go Kia Mankato when looking for a car.

I enjoy my Kia Sportage it’s stylish look and performance is excellent . Kia connects is special I can use from my phone with special features as well

I have the SX Prestige model and I love my car. I love just about everything about my car from the numerous tech feature to the huge dashboard. After two years of owning the vehicle, I’m still finding features that I never knew existed. If I had to think of two things that I hated most about this car, they would have to be the lack of power and the gas version and the sunroof controls other than that great car

Travis and Chris both great to work with gave lots of information in a pleasant ,cheerful manner seemed happy to work with me. Thank YOU both for a great day

Good handling car in all weather. Blind spots in back causes me to pay extra attention to people coming up on my sides. Great mileage if you avoid excessive speed. Quite riding vehicle.

Took car in my car in for warranty, the process took longer than would of like but I'm sure covid didn't help once the parts were in the recieved my car next day.

There are some things worth noting. Gas mileage is not great. No where near what it says. Controls are hard to navigate and confusing but I love the phone, GPS, ride, Sirius and other safety features.

I just want to give a quick shout out to Jacob Dougherty and Waseca County Auto Sales!! Jacob was super nice, not pushy and totally not like your "typical car salesman". He understood Kelsey and I and what was important to us and what we value the most in buying a car or in this case a SUV/crossover. It's been only one day, but we absolutely love our new ride!! Definitely will be babying this one for a while. I strongly suggest you take a peak at what Jacob has to offer over at WCAS. If you don't see what you're looking for, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give him a call! He's super easy to work with... plus he works directly with Diversified Credit Union, who to be completely honest with you was the friendliest financial institution I have ever worked with, ask for Andrea. Lastly, if you're looking for a dependable Ford Fusion, fully loaded, Jacob has one.. ? Thank you sir! I can speak for both Kels and I, It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Bought this model in 2014 brand new, it's 10 years later, at 100K miles, still runs like new , only items done are maintenance so far.Tires, brakes, battery, wipers, etc. Has never been in the shop for anything else. Period.

The staff at LeadCar were exceptional. Ron and Alex, both in sales, made the experience enjoyable. Not always the case when purchasing a car these days. We will be back!

It’s currently summer 2025, I’ve owned my 2020 Wrangler Sahara since spring 2021. I LOVE my jeep and have had ZERO issues with it. This is my 2 nd Wrangler, first one was 2915 New. No issues with it at either. Mine is a 4 cl turbo. I didn’t want that I wanted a 6 cl. My husband convinced me to buy it and I’m glad I did. I have 59,000. Miles currently and I haven’t had to replace anything besides general maintenance.

We experienced Outstanding Service recently when looking at vehicles at Luther Mankato Honda. Thank you Donnie & Chris for all the information about available vehicles and for taking the time to make sure our questions were answered! We are very happy with our experience!

Excellent performer. Plenty of zip and power. I’ve recorded 39.6 mpg in warm weather last year. Down and back to Florida was recorded at 38.8. Very spacious, excellent cargo capacity. I’m 6’9” and am comfortable behind the wheel.

It’s not the first time we leased a car from Luther Honda Mankato. Donnie Sakib was our sales person. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable about the CRV which we were interested in. We might see him again. Thanks Donnie

We were looking for a moderately priced Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for a teenage son and this one fit the bill. For a roughly 8 year old vehicle it was well taken care of by previous owners. Although the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited won’t be confused with a luxury car for its ride and comfort, they are adequately appointed and fun to drive. That’s where the saying, “it’s a Jeep thing “ comes from. All I know is that in our area they are very popular and our teenage son will thoroughly enjoy it if he can ever get it away from his Mom.

My salesperson, Cole T. was patient with me and was extremely professional. He answered all my questions and spent a great deal of time by helping me through the leasing process. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a vehicle. Laurie Gerdes

It's longer than most SUVs. I've been able to haul both drywall and plywood still closing the rear door. It's been great to travel with, the back seats fold all the way down.

Car Play was not working in my Pacifica. Kara came out and worked with it until I had it back. Thank you, Kara. I really missed having it.

Needs oil filter conversion so oil doesn't drain back, Google it..good power, goes anywhere , better than the 2 door for smoother ride,, I would buy again

I bought my car from them years ago. Had it serviced by them. They did a wonderful job made sure my car was safe. I feel they get treated horribly by people these days because they don't look at it as they fixed it so your safe on the road. They even offer times so you can drop your car off and get you a ride to work and back. None of the other places I used to go to offered that! All of the employees at lager's are wonderful and treat you like your family.

I have owned a 2013 Rogue for 10 years. It has traveled north, south, east and west multiple times with no issues until just now. Catalytic Converter and a run in with a deer. Would i get another one? Absolutely.

This was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had! Completely stress free, quick and to the point.

In my many years of car driving and ownership, I have rarely had a better vehicle than my 2019 Jeep Compass Latitude. It has been reliable, comfortable, fun to drive and, for its' size and type, very good on gas. In April, I will have been driving "Lattie"for 5 years. My upkeep has been minimal. She is pretty and still looks new. This vehicle is such a pleasure to drive. Handling and response are excellent. Controls are super easy to manage and absolutely love the heated seat and steering wheel. On a long trip, it is very comfortable (yes, I have ridden in the back seat, too) and fuel economy was just great...fully loaded with air-conditioner on and travelling at highway speeds gave me 30+ mpg. Really can't complain. My Neon didn't do any better. This is a great vehicle. Oh, and I had leased it new, and purchased it when the lease was up..that's how good this car is!

Great to work with. Craig helped me buy a new Jeep Gladiator. No hastle, straight to the point. Would highly recommend. Thanks

My 2016 Honda CRV Exl has a problem with the push button is not starting until about 3 or more pushes , after each push the lights in the dash comes on with a click sound, but no start up , until several pushes.

I'm very happy with Lagers of Mankato. Been well taken care of. Seth is fantastic. I hope every dealership has someone like him.

I have a 2018 Cherokee latitude plus. More than 140k miles. Very nice SUV. I think most of this bad reviews are not fair. I will buy a new one in the near future.

I purchased used '22 Escape SE AWD two years old, low mileage and delighted with my dealer purchase. Upon extensive research, I was aware the loss of market value, which is why I purchased used. This vehicle is produced in volume as 'low-end' entry among 22 field competitors. Yes, there are several vehicles out there higher rated, more expensive, but my research validated highest cargo storage - highest mpg, for the reasonable market price. You can benefit from this depreciation by buying used! Some complain of the transmission, or slow pickup, or passenger door side panels. I have had no issues after 20,000 miles 6/2024 and get 31.3 mpg combined which is stellar!! A great value for the used car price-not new price. I would recommend as a reasonable value, HIGH capacity SUV can accommodate 4 airport passengers full size luggage is my first Ford of 21 cars purchased. Styling is very attractive, good assortment of safety features. Rear seats slide for extended passenger or cargo capacity.

Good, easy to talk to and ask questions. They have your best interest at heart
