2007 Kia Sportage - Great features for the money
It was affordable compared to other SUVs. The quality is pretty good for the money. It is capable off road and doesn't have hard-to-check blind spots. It has thoughtful features, like well-designed cup holders and stow-away compartments.
Story
My wife and I take this up into the forests in the north part of our state. It is great travelling down forest roads with four-wheel drive engaged with the pine scented air blowing into the vehicle.
Pros
Performance off road and in bad weather. Overall value for the money paid for the vehicle. Good warranty!
Cons
The body quality is a little below average. The hardware doesn't seem to hold up as well or as long as other models.
2006 Kia Sportage - Reliable and comfortable
I think that the car looks good. Some of the features like the overhead rack lost paint very quickly, however. The main body of the car has not, though. It is definitely a comfortable car, with a mostly leather interior. I have had no issue with room, but I am just a college student.
There is a blind spot in the left back. Also, the front bar between the front windshield and the right side windshield is a little thick, so it obstructs the view when making slight turns to the left.
Maintenance is average. Gas mileage is lower than I would like, but higher than expected for a V6 SUV.
It isn't really a fun car to drive, but it performs well, especially in snowy and icy conditions with the option 4wd. Acceleration is a little slow, but braking is fine. I definitely feel in control while... (more)
Story
I can confirm that the car can go at least 105mph.
Pros
The seat heaters.
4wd toggle.
Durable, leather interior.
Cons
Cosmetic damage came quickly on the outside of the vehicle.
Lower gas mileage than I would like.
