As part of my 3 month research process, I drove about 5 different vehicles, ranging from the Scion xB to the Mazda Tribute to the Kia's twin, the Tucson. I was looking for a vehicle with good gas mileage, storage compartments and cubbyholes, rear legroom, traction control, side airbags and a good stance/appearance. The Tucson was nice, but the handling was different (not as tight) and the interior felt cheap. I liked the xB a lot (great mpg and unique styling), but the storage behind the back seat just wasn't enough. The Sportage had everything I wanted. The 4 cylinder performs well and I am getting 22 mpg combined. I didn't need a hot rod, I needed functionality and value.
Oh Lord won't you buy me a Kia Sportage.......

I gave this car 5 stars based on the fact that it's never been in the shop for major repairs, never stranded me on the side of the road, and never failed to start in all the years (6) I've owned it. My Kia handles well and breaks well. (My husband says I have a lead foot. Oh please.......He's only had to change the brake pads once !!!). Unfortunately the acceleration leaves a little to be desired. But again, I'm more interested in it's reliability to get me home. That being said I'll move on to the electronics. Where do I begin ? The CD player doesn't work, the volume control on the radio quit, the front passenger door and rear door won't lock anymore, the USB port died, the left rear passenger door handle fell off (still beats a Ford "Exploder" though).........and the list goes on. But I have to reiterate. It's been a most reliable vehicle. Low maintenance, decent gas mileage. Great AC/heater. My only regret is that I paid too much for it.

I traded in my leased 2006 honda civic for a used 2006 sportage with 15,000 miles on it (basically new). I love the interior and exterior its a great ride. I actually find driving fun again for the first time since I was 16. Car has plenty of power, all the features you could want for a base v6 model. I lost some gas mileage when I traded civic in, but I knew that would happen and accepted it.
Just bought an '06 Sportage!

I own 2 '02 Honda CR-V's AWD, and thought they were the neatest things on wheels. Mileage got high on one, and I looked at newer CR-V's- the '07's seem not to be as relaible or have as good ride- so looked at '06-'07 Sportage. WOW! Far better ride- larger interior, more power than CR-V,better quality ride and comfort. Much better steering- much easier, and a far better AWD system. I can lock in 4WD from a stop- CR-V must have wheel spin first. This is just a superior vehicle all around. I got a great price, and repspectful service from dealer, plus warranty. Car was so clean, I thought it was new when I picked it up last Saturday!
Love my car

I love my car! Ive had it for 5 years, i bought it used and she still runs beautifully. However, i only have 1 door handle left. Every other one dry rotted and broke off without force. So i have to get them replaced. My AC makes the car sound funny but it doesnt effect it and it works great. No aux, and no usb ports. Other than that my sportage is amazing and has gotten me through so many travels and is now getting me through college!
