2018 Kia Sportage - Kia Sportage, the family car everyone should purchase
This is a great family vehicle without being too big. It fits my daughter's car seat easily in the back seat and she actually has legroom. All my other cars we've had, there wasn't enough space between the kid in the car seat and the back of the passenger seat. So no one is getting the back of their chair kicked! The trunk/back hatch area has enough room for groceries and any accumulated junk I usually have in the car at any given time. It gets pretty good gas mileage for a crossover, which is very important to our family. Kias come with the 100,000-mile warranty, which is exactly what we need because car repairs are just not in the budget. The sparkly blue paint color is beautiful, you don't see it all the time, and it's not available in a lot of other models. The touchscreen radio is...

The touchscreen radio is pretty cool too; it looks really high tech and without all the buttons that most radios have, it's a lot easier to keep it clean. Living in an area with very snowy winters and the worst roads in the country, snow/ice performance is a very high priority to keep our family safe. It has four-wheel drive, which is nice for heavy snow, but the Sportage performs so well in wintery conditions. I have hardly even had to turn the four-wheel drive on at all.
I had parked my car in the grocery store parking lot next to another Sportage. However, I didn't notice, wasn't paying attention when I walked into the store. When I left the store, I didn't yet realize there was another Sportage next to my car. I got in the wrong one!! put my bag of groceries on the passenger seat and went to put my key in the ignition.

When I left the store, I didn't yet realize there was another Sportage next to my car. I got in the wrong one!! put my bag of groceries on the passenger seat and went to put my key in the ignition. It didn't fit! I got out of there so fast I didn't want anyone thinking I was stealing their car.
