My car is reliable, it is good on gas and I never had no major mechanical problems, still driving smooth for it is age. I will purchase another Kia Sportage again because I trust my car I can't go wrong.
Compact but spacious size. 5-Passenger seating. Automatic. Good gas mileage. Ample trunk space. Style. Color. I like the layout of the front two seats. There is a lot of open space, so it does not feel crowded when there is a passenger.
Nice SUV, reliable, drives nice. I like the style of it and the ability to tie items to the roof to haul things. It is a good car despite it being 14 years old. I like the sunroof on it also. The seats are upholstered nice.
It is easy to get in and out of. It is great on fuel. It has a lot of room for a family plus tons of cargo. Has enough cup holders and everything is within reach of the driver. It corners great and it smooth on the highway.
My car does not go on full speed when accelerated It needed more power & gear ratios, which it received in the newer models, but will Catch up eventually. Not touchy on the pedals at times may be due to it is age I believe.
I have had some issues with the alternator of this vehicle as well as power steering. As I have owned it longer and longer, the windows operate slower and slower each time. Other than those things that come with age and use, I love it.
The trunk is too small. There is not enough room in the car in general, but especially for hauling things in the trunk. The back seats can be folded down however if we have large items to bring home.
The seat are not comfortable the backs of the seats are designed for a taller person than me. The 06 I own radio does not work so travel is boring. I was told it is common for kids to have wiring problems.
