Styling
I absolutely love the exterior and interior styling of the Sportage. Just a sleek looking suv!
Cabin Noise
I had read that the 2011 Sportage had noticable cabin noise. Kia installed more insulation between the floor board and chasis for the 2012 model. Not much noise at all that I've noticed.
Fuel Economy
I did take it on a trip to Vegas and I averaged around 27 mpg. I get anywhere from 21 - 28 mpg, better that my 2006 Hyundai Tucson that I had previously, so I'm happy.
Visibility
Because of the sleek design you lose some visibility through the side and rear windows..
