Great midsize SUV. Handles well, roomy.

My Kia Sportage is fun to drive, has lots of bells and whistles, good gas mileage, handles well.

Pros

  • Ride and Handling: Smooth ride, easy to manipulate
  • Cargo Space: Plenty of space for suitcases and other things for a trip.
  • Seat Comfort: Comfortable seats, heat option in front seats, plenty of room in back seat.

Cons

  • Technology and Entertainment: Has no CD player
  • Visibility: I am used to having signals for cars on the side of you. This car is not equipped with the side signals even though it said in the advertisement for the car that signals were present.
  • Power: Occasionally, it is a little slow on the acceleration from being stopped.

Pleased with this one!

This Kia is comfortable, has a great warranty, and has many safety features for the price. Seems to be a good value.

Pros

  • Value: Good safety features for my new driver/son
  • Reliability: reputation for being reliable and so far this one has been
  • Ride and Handling: comfortable and handles well for the price

Cons

  • Power: Not a very powerful car, but I didn’t buy it with the belief it would have a lot— it’s a good value for the type of car it is. Glad I got it for my teen, and I’ve enjoyed driving it a a few times too.
