Used 2009 Kia Sportage for Sale

This car can go anywhere. I've driven it from Alaska to Seattle and back twice. The mileage is not the best but it's good enough for long drives. I've driven it in deep snow, black ice, extreme heat, off-roads, etc. I've never had it break down, not even once. I was even able to start it in -40F weather in Alaska. Easy to maneuver. Easy to customize. Easy to find parts. Easy to do home repairs, too. Minor computer/dashboard issues but those aren't vital to the quality of the engine.

Overall this has been a great and reliable car for us. At over 70,000 miles now we have never had to have any major work done. Only a few negatives I have to say about this car. First is that it is too small for our family of 4. With two car seats in the back there is no room for anyone else. However, the interior has proven to be rugged and has worn extremely well. Food and drinks spilled seem to just wipe right off the seat. Second negative is I have had a lot of problems with the back lights. Even after the issue was supposed to have been fixed through a recall, I've had to have the back lights replaced and/or fixed at least 6 times in only a few years. Not major but definitely a hassle. The car is smooth to ride in and handles well in all conditions and situations we find ourselves in. Fuel economy could be better but is average based on similar types of cars. I wouldn't say it's particularly stylish especially now that it's a few years old but it's a car; it gets us where we need to go. The V6 model does have some get-up-and-go but it can be a bit sluggish at times. The roof racks have come in handy recently with a few trips to Ikea. It was easier just to strap the oversized boxes onto the roof than to try to shove them in the inside since it's already a bit cramped. Comparing the inexpensive price of the car to the reliability and use we have gotten from the Sportage, I would recommend this car.
