This Sportage has four wheel drive, necessary for snowy winters in the north. It has 86,000 and is 6 years old. Still runs great. Plenty of room in the back for long trips, or short trips to the store. I have not needed to put any money into it except maintenance.

I really like my Kia Sportage. It's the first time I ever leased a car and the first time I had AWD. That was my main reason for getting a SUV, because I had previously only owned front wheel drive cars and I live in Buffalo where there is a lot of snow. Driving to and from work and school in small, unreliable cars was actually scary. I decided in the Fall of 2014 that I needed something that I could feel safe in when driving through the snow. I went to the dealership and test drove about five SUV's. I absolutely loved the Sportage because it's so easy to handle and is extremely reliable in the snow.
