Positive Review

"Drove them all, this was the best!"

Test drove the , CR-V, CX-9, VW Alltrack & Touareg , Tucson, Outback, Rouge, Escape & Rav4. The KIA Sportage SX was the best combination of quality, power and handling. This vehicle is just so fun to drive! Interior fit and finish is as good as the Honda. The handling was on par with the VW Alltrack and acceleration beat the CX-5. The KIA came with some options not available on any of these (like cooled vented front seats) and priced (with all those options) at or better than the competition. My biggest concern was the listed mileage numbers: City 20/Hwy 23/Comb 21 MPG with the 240Hp turbo. But on my first vacation trip (about 550 miles) I averaged 30.5 MPG by just setting my cruise control at 77 mph and running in Eco mode. My highway numbers since then are still around 26-27 mpg on shorter trips. Buying a KIA was not in my plans when I started my shopping process but all those test drives opened my eyes, KIA has really stepped up its game!

"Good Vehicle Poor Support"

It's a great vehicle but the Kia customer service is extremely poor on all levels.

Pros

Great gas mileage, sleek and sexy

Cons

Not good for bad weather days, top heavy

Great on gas. Dependable. Sleek and sexy. I have the Nightfall edition, with the 2-toned seats and interior, and the upgraded pedals that look like racing pedals. It's got black rims and tinted windows. Stereo system is factory, and it bumps loud and with decent bass.

2018 Sportage review

2018 Kia Sportage is using oil. Don't understand. Scares me. Rear noise and back break problems. Is this a lemon?

Love my Sportage
Pros

Reliable, Comfortable, fast,

Cons

AC compressor went bad.

I bought the car new and got all the bells and whistles. Super comfortable and great for long trips. My wife has a Mercedes C 300 and she usually drives the Kia. Much better ride and just as fast. It is a great car.
