Don`t be a leadfoot! - 2006 Kia Sportage
By badbri1 - July 8 - 7:06 pmI am writing because there seems to be issues with a lot of folks about the gas mileage they are getting with their Sportages. I WAS averaging about 18.6 mpg at first. But after the first month and a half, and driving it like I had 1 gallon left in the tank, I was pleasantly surprised to see my mileage increase to 24.3 average mpg. I have noticed that despite HIGH gas prices, it doesn`t seem to slow anyone down...why? I think if most of you just stopped romping on the gas, you would find the mileage posted for the vehicle is quite accurate, and you should be doing your part to save fuel anyway. Stop trying to race everyone, and you`ll pay a lot less. I absolutely LOVE this vehicle; you should too!

Just bought an 06 Sportage! - 2006 Kia Sportage
By Big Dog - April 11 - 6:30 pmI own 2 02 Honda CR-Vs AWD, and thought they were the neatest things on wheels. Mileage got high on one, and I looked at newer CR-Vs- the 07s seem not to be as relaible or have as good ride- so looked at 06-07 Sportage. WOW! Far better ride- larger interior, more power than CR-V,better quality ride and comfort. Much better steering- much easier, and a far better AWD system. I can lock in 4WD from a stop- CR-V must have wheel spin first. This is just a superior vehicle all around. I got a great price, and repspectful service from dealer, plus warranty. Car was so clean, I thought it was new when I picked it up last Saturday!

From point A to B and a little more - 2006 Kia Sportage
By AF Family - February 3 - 6:10 amI am very pleased with my Kia Sportage for the first 7800 miles. I think the interior is roomy and fits five people comfortably. Love the body style it--looks beefy compared to other small SUVs. Upgraded to a V6 to tow a couple of quads. Though I havent towed with it yet, power seems readily available. I do mostly highway driving and it handles very well on back roads and switchbacks. It has some get up and go to pass vehicles. Cant wait to do some 4 wheelin in it. I am very happy to see that I am getting the mileage they suggested on the window sticker, 19 city and 23 highway. It took a while to get used to the 10mph increments on the speedometer. Cruise control is a breeze to use.
