  Great for a small! SUV - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By KIAGreat - March 31 - 2:13 pm

  I like our new SUV so much because it is safe and has a huge interior space. I tried lots of SUVs before such as Cherokee, Liberty, etc. My knees always stuck into front seats when I sit at back seat. This SUV has lots of space, has great safety features, has great warranty and it is cheap. This SUV is not meant to be a great outdoor giant but if you have kids and you live in a city, it is great. We live in Minneapolis so driving with my newborn in winter with 4WD will be more safer.

  Best of many vehicles I have owned - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Ron - December 8 - 12:16 pm

  As a senior citizen who has owned many vehicles, I am hard to please. This vehicle has really impressed me though. Very utilitarian, comfortable, practical, dependable so far and fun to drive to boot. Would buy another in a minute. Only downside is gas mileage of 21 mpg, but we drive mostly in urban areas. Have taken a couple of short trips and the vehicle can hold its own on the interstates too.

  By julie - October 3 - 6:46 pm

  I just got my Sportage, I do have to say so far this truck is a dream. Comfort in this vehicle is unbelievable. I used to hate driving; now I cant wait to go for a ride. Great for the family. Love the unbelievable options. I didnt know cars had mp3 players.

  Great Little Truck - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By lg - August 24 - 3:06 am

  We owned a Ford Escape and bought this as our second vehicle. It quickly became our first vehicle. The ride is great it handles great and it comes with so many standard safety features. The ride is so much better than the Escape and a lot quieter too. Really fun to drive. We liked it so much that we traded our 2004 Escape in for another Kia product, the Sorento.

  Tough little SUV - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Gus in NC - July 29 - 7:16 am

  We traded in a 05 Sedonna, and bought this Sportage new. It is a nice vehicle, comfortable, good driving manners. It has everything we could ask for in an SUV. V-6 engine has plenty of power. Havent had any problems with it at all. We have it serviced at the dealership, and have had nothing but outstanding workmanship out of the dealership. My wife drives it daily to work, and we have taken it on several trips, with virtually no problems. Gas mileage ranges from 19 to 21 in town and 23 to 25 on the road at speeds up to 70mph. I would not hesitate to buy another one.

  Great Sporty SUV - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Kim - May 14 - 3:16 am

  As a previous high end car owner, I tried a more reasonably priced car with a better warranty for my new car. I enjoy my Sportage so much,;rides well, lots of comfort items inside, and great on gas. I am very happy with this vehicle.

  Pleasantly surprised - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By texassportage - March 11 - 10:03 am

  I used Edmunds and other websites to research my compact SUV purchase and my final four were the: CR-V, Sportage, RAV4, and Tucson. My wife has a Kia already so it was the first place we went. I was so impressed with the drive of this vehicle that we didnt even bother test driving anything else. This car was already the best "deal" and the fact that it drove well, was comfortable, fun, and the perfect size for us now...and in the future (there are clasps for child safety seats on all three back seats) made it the right car for us. I am really impressed with its power too. It used to be considered a toy car - but I would recommend this SUV to anyone who wants a little more room.

  Love my Kia - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By JENin5280 - February 17 - 6:46 am

  This is my second Kia. My first was a 2003 Sorento that I loved dearly, it just started getting expensive to maintain. So I "downgraded" or so I thought. I am always impressed with Kia and my Sportage is no exception. Gas mileage improves with every tank. Great, smooth ride. I drove 3 different Hondas and no one ever pulled up next to me at a light to ask me about my Honda, but they have about both of my Kias. People are curious. I love my Sportage, I loved my Sorento and I would recommend them to anyone. Oh, and I took it up to Breckenridge and over Loveland Pass a month ago and it performed flawlessly.

  I LOVE MY SPORTAGE! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Genie Candler - November 10 - 9:03 pm

  I knew the first time that I slIpped behind the wheel of my 2005 Kia Sportage that I was meant to drive it. I was scared, because Im only 52," so I had always feared the SUV, knowing I would never see out of it. But my salesman had more confidence than I did, as we went for a ride. It drove like a dream, and it still does, months later. And, for you short people out there -- I CAN SEE OUT OF IT (better, actually, than I could in my old car). The mileage is better than I could have hoped for in even a small SUV, and it is the most fun car that I have ever driven. I now know that my next car will be a Kia, and the next one, and the next one.

  Recent trip - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Jim Puckett - October 31 - 1:40 pm

  I just returned from a 3600 mile trip in which my Kia performed most excellently. The ride was surprisingly good for such a small SUV, 27 mpg for the trip. I would like it to be a little quieter.
