I love my Kia Sportage. It got me through my year of high school and my years of college. I have gone on trips with friends, driven to work every day, and taken my dogs to the vet in this car. I appreciate that this car has a ton of room (the trunk may not seem huge at first glance--but the seats go down to make a huge space in the back!). I've been able to wrack up the mileage without the car having any terrible issues--just a few flat tires here and there. One thing that sucks is that many of the parts are difficult to get unless you go directly through Kia, but thankfully, I haven't had many big issues that need fixing. Overall, my Kia Sportage has been the perfect car for me. It was the car I ended high school with and will be the car I end college with.
