I like my Kia Sportage in general. I have had it for over 3 years and it has worked just fine for me. I like that it is comfortable to drive in. I drove this car over 2000 miles from Florida to California when I moved. Full of all my belongings the drive was still smooth and I didn't experience any problems. A feature that was really helpful for the move and that I really like is the side mirrors. They have an extra mirror on them that is really useful for blind spots. I could not see out the rear view mirror the entire drive as my car was packed to the brim, and having that smaller mirror within the side mirror really helped me to navigate across the country. I love the look of the car its not to bulky and looks nice. I feel very safe and in control driving the Kia Sportage. It accelerates and brakes very well. I have experienced a few problems over the years. I have had to take it in to the shop a couple times and have had about $1500 of repairs. This is one negative of the Kia Sportage. Overall, I really love my car and as someone who doesn't know much about cars it is good enough for me!

I have owned this car for about 4 years now. The body of the car is excellent, can take quite a beating if you are not to gentle with cars. The inside is a little small for my growing family, and after a few years everything just seems to fall apart in them. We've had to replace all the window motors, the starter and a few other things. It all just depends on how well you take care of your vehicle. It gets amazing gas mileage, and is great for getting from point a to point b, but if you have a family or are wanting to start a family this is not the car for you. The "trunk" space is not very big, so it doesn't hold much back there. The spare tire hangs out on the back of the car which I think is awesome it gives you more space inside of the car. It also has roof racks on top of the car so you can put anything up there like a little canoe, or suitcases even. All in all it is a great car, gets the job done, and is very convenient with the ongoing growing gas prices.
