Used Kia Sportage for Sale in Houston, TX

I am a single mom with three kids and bought this vehicle when my daughter was born. In seven years I have put less than 70,000 miles on it, and it is still running very strong. The size is perfect for me and my three kids to take small weekend adventures camping and have all the room we need for shopping, and other activities. The vehicle has several safety latches in place for car seats of all sizes and adjustable belts in the front. It has air bags all around as well. The Sportage has a massive storage well for the tire and other items in the back, and a huge back hatch area for all our equipment, without loosing space for comfort in the main cabin. The back seats also fold down to create a large backend, if needed. The Sportage is ideal for outdoor weekend adventures, and the back end can even serve as a makeshift bed, if needed. The back hatch has a glass and door opening option. This is convenient especially for grocery shopping where things might shift and fall on your feet if you opened the entire hatch. The Interior lining is very durable, and has survived all the evils of my three kids, as it has scotch guard. My only concerns are minor since it is a small SUV. The Sportage does have a flip warning but has tons of headspace. The air conditioning system is weak, at best, the decals flake over time, and the rear window hatch lift can break easily. The paint on the trim is not great and has worn down a lot the last two years. The 2008 model was severely updated, and I feel the previous years model should have been offered retrofits. Features not included in the standard 2007 model included GPS, USB, and other features.

This is a great car. It's very spacious - my husband has no problem fitting in the back. My toddler can easily climb up into her seat but has enough room to sit and play on the floorboard of the back seat, too. My favorite part is the large trunk space. Both seats can fold down and I can haul a ton. Or, it's a great place to be able to open the hatch and sit and play. It also has enough power to make it up the hills at a good speed and I feel very safe in the car. The only thing I don't like is the decreased visibility out the rear end. I feel like there are a lot of blind spots. However, the back up camera and beeping alerts really help. Overall, a great car with lots of room for families that has fairly good gas mileage. Could be a great commuter car.
