  The Perfect Car - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By sportagelover2 - July 26 - 3:58 pm

  I have owned 2 KIAs and loved them both. My 2006 Sportage has almost 200k on it and still going strong. I would never buy another kind of car. My next one with be a 4 wheel drive now that I live in the mountains. Thank you KIA keep up the great work! PS Try working on the rear end safety :)

  A Great Value! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By KG in Tennessee - July 24 - 9:56 pm

  I love this little SUV. Looks great, ride is smooth and the V6 has plenty of power. I originally was looking at a Sorrento and spotted the redesigned Sportage. No regrets!

  Had the Sportage a little over a month now. Taken one long-distance trip. Great handling, smooth ride. Good fit and finish. No initial flaws. Converted from a PT Cruiser.

  Great Buy! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Cjacks - November 13 - 10:23 am

  I did my research before purchasing the KIA; you have always here how KIA is cheap. I find nothing about my Sportage cheap, compared with the Escape, Sorento, and Tribute. The sleek design, great price, and KIA warranty sold me on the Sportage. I have enjoyed how it handles and the room in a small SUV. Gas mileage around town; I am getting around 19mpg. On a trip we get 25mpg. Not bad for SUV.

  Great car! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By kia owner - October 31 - 4:23 pm

  I really love my Sportage. We bought it back in January and have not been disappointed. We had an opportunity to buy the 4wd and air conditioning, but choose to stick with the base model. I wouldnt mind having those extras, but I really dont need them. I would rather save a few thousand dollars. The only thing that is a little strange is the air vent; in the summer it is quite warm, even warmer than the outside air. I think it must travel past the engine and get warmed up that way.

  Love Kia - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Donna Flynn - July 10 - 4:43 pm

  Absolutely love my Kia. Have had several comments about what a sharp vehicle it is. Recommend Kia to anyone. The warranty is fantastic. Drove it to Florida 10 days after buying it. For the first time in 4 years of going to Florida, our backs did not hurt from riding in a vehicle.

  Glad I Got It! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Kristi - June 26 - 4:16 pm

  I compared the Kia to the Tribute and the Escape. They all have similar mileage and features, but what sold me was that most of the Kia features were standard and not expensive extras. The only thing I added were the leather seats and I extended the 10 year warranty bumper-bumper instead of just the engine/drivetrain. Everyone comments on how attractive it is and on the cool features like all the storage compartments and comfort of the ride. I gave up a fun convertible and wasnt convinced I was doing the right thing, but this is one of the best cars Ive ever driven!

  Best for the money - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By esd - April 25 - 10:13 am

  My experience was that when I first test drove the Sportage, it was a lot whole lot different than the 2002 predecessor. The exterior was a little bit more taller than the 2002 version. The interior was even nicer than the old one too! Below the front passenger airbag was some kind of handle bar just to hold on to.

  My new Toy - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Matt - April 12 - 10:53 am

  I needed to get out of the sports car I was in. So I did my homework and went to the auto show in Cleveland Ohio and fell in love with the Sportage. Been in heaven since. Great car for the money. Make sure you get the v6 EX 4x4.

  A bad choice - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By J - February 3 - 2:53 am

  I bought this SUV new 3 years ago, and liked it. However recently it started stalling when I tried to stop at traffic lights. A Kia dealership could not figure out what the problem was. The situation happens from time to time but nobody can fix it! Its a dangerous car.
