  Great little SUV for a small price - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Ray - August 5 - 1:06 am

  My wife needed a new car and wanted something with 4wd. So we test drove the Honda CR-V first. My wife thought it was OK but nothing special. I suggested that she should check out the Kia Sportage since my Kia Sedona has been so reliable. Se was reluctant to do it since she really didnt think that the Kia would be comparable to the CR-V. We test drove the car and were immediately impressed with the build quality, handling and quietness of the car. We bought the luxury package with leather, heated seats and an impressive stereo with subwoofer. My wife tells me every day how she loves this vehicle. She looks forward to her morning commute.

  Very Pleased! - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By TimK - July 24 - 12:13 pm

  We got the Sportage EX, 6 cylinder with leather - and its great. We researched and drove lots of small SUVs and this car had the most bang for the buck. Weve had it for a month and like it more every day. Its really not a "small" SUV, in my book, with legit room for five. Leather interior in the color scheme we wanted was hard to find, but worth the effort and money.

  great SUV for the money - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By ric - March 14 - 1:30 pm

  Hard to beat a really top flight SUV for the money. Only negative is the gas mileage of 20 MPG combined.

  Compared the Jeep Liberty, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CR-V, BOUGHT the Kia Sportage, Best value, nicest looking, handles like a dream, better equipped, best warranty and fully loaded it was the lowest in price! GREAT SUV. Highly recommend.

  Happy Kia Owner - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Keith - November 2 - 5:13 am

  I 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 am

  This 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.

  By Frank G. - August 17 - 9:43 am

  Vehicle handles very well, great acceleration for 173hp, very nice looking suv, idles quiet, comfortable seating, impressive inside room front and rear. Storage is adequate, especially when rear seats are folded flat.

  Great Economical SUV - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By kia4me - June 27 - 12:06 am

  Great 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 pm

  I 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 am

  I 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.
