Happy Kia Owner - 2006 Kia Sportage
By Keith - November 2 - 5:13 amI bought my Kia Sportage last December and I love it. I have taken several long distant trips with it and never have had a problem. It is comfortable to drive, fun to drive and more roomy than expected. I have a wife and two small children and we and all of our stuff fit in it when we travel. Also, I went out shooting in the desert when it was really muddy and the 4WD handled like a pro. My dad just went out and bought one.

Love this car! - 2006 Kia Sportage
By lorijohnston - September 1 - 7:10 amThis is the 2nd Kia I have owned, and I my 2nd positive review for this company. I bought my Kia brand new in 2006 with about 16 miles on the odometer. I currently have about 60K on this vehicle and it is still running beautifully. No major problems, decent gas mileage and plenty of room for my husband, two kids and 90-pound labrador retriever. With the 5-speed manual transmission, we dont seem to have the power issues that have been mentioned in previous reviews.

So Far So Good... - 2006 Kia Sportage
By czechers - July 15 - 7:43 pmI had an old Spectra and went in for a service appointment, and ended up leaving with a new Sportage. I was looking at other brands, but the features for the price are outstanding. The MPG is less than advertised however... I havent done much highway driving yet, I only have 750 miles on the clock and I am stuck at 17 MPG. (Advertised 19/25) I was worried that the horsepower was on the low side compared with competitors, however, it moves this SUV just fine. I also wish there were a 5 or 6 speed automatic. But, as I said, for the price of $21K I got a V6 auto, power everything, CD / MP3, Sunroof, Keyless with Alarm, Alloy wheels, upgraded interior, etc.

Great Economical SUV - 2006 Kia Sportage
By kia4me - June 27 - 12:06 amGreat vehicle. Gas use is higher than expected, but still good. Comfortable and quiet. Does not have sports car like acceleration, but I did not expect it. A great purchase for me and my family.

my brand new suv - 2006 Kia Sportage
By shelly - May 29 - 9:13 pmI absolutely love my Kia Sportage. The only downside is the lack of power when going up the hill, but putting that aside, I cannot find any other issues.

Why pay big bucks - 2006 Kia Sportage
By Clint - April 30 - 10:30 amI have compared this SUV with all the others and the big bucks do not get you anything better. If buyers would give a look and try, they will buy the Kia. The workmanship and performance are very very good. I get 23mpg city and 27mpg highway. Keep it at 55 mph - I have hit 29.2mpg.

What a great value - 2006 Kia Sportage
By mcrews - April 29 - 5:16 amWhat a turn around for the Sportage. Amazing attention to ergonomics. Just bought Black/black leather XE for my 18 year old daughter. No more worries! The same eguipment level from Honda or Toyota is $6k more and doesnt have the warranty.
