I spent a massive amount of research on cars before settling on the Kia Sportage and owning it for 3 years, I absolutely made the right choice. For context, at the time I purchased the car, my family consisted of myself and my husband. My husband is 6'6 which means many cars get ruled out from head room and leg room. Despite the Sportage being a "crossover"/ smaller SUV, it has ample space. It has all the perks of a car without any of the cons of a SUV.

The car is about the right size for my needs. Excellent warranty, and they back it up well. Performs as expected, and handles well. Nice interior, and decent space
