  Nice little SUV - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By Ladybug - November 7 - 5:20 pm

  I bought my 07 Sportage used with 27K miles on it for only $11K from a Ford dealership. While test-driving it, the salesman, who had never been in the car before, exclaimed how much better it rode and how much quieter it is than an Escape. Having had a KIA before, I was more than happy to purchase another one. After 3 months Ive been very happy with this car. Its simple and practical, which is what I wanted. I have the 4 cylinder, and it definitely isnt real zippy when entering freeways, but if you dont mind a little engine whine, you can push it without it getting near the redline. Since most of my driving is done on surface roads, the acceleration is more than adequate for my needs.

  Great Vehicle - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By Dr Dan - July 14 - 6:06 pm

  Purchased my KIA about 3 weeks ago. Looks, runs and performs great. I am getting 25mpg. Better than my 02 Cougar with no a/c. Great college student auto. Good room, front and back. Love the 5 yr. warranty. Go buy one today!!

  Good, dependable, first car - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By zach030283984 - June 23 - 10:06 am

  I had a 2007 Kia Sportage as my first car, and got it with 60,000 miles from my father in 2009, who had bought a new car. It was a little under a 150,000 miles when I totaled it the day before Christmas 2014. Slammed into a pickup at about 40 mph and I walked away without a scratch. If you had put a sheet across the window, you would have no idea the car was in a wreck, the cabin wasnt affected, even though the engine was smashed to pieces. I loved that thing to death. I loved it so much I ended up buying a 2005 sportage EX V6 after getting my insurance check. (basically the same car but with all the fancy trims) In that time it never failed to start, never broke down, and ran like a top.

  Lacks power - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By Alexa - January 22 - 11:50 am

  I thought I could love this small SUV but after trading in my 06 Trailblazer for it in an effort to get better gas mileage (was only getting 13 mpg in the Trailblazer), Im sorely disappointed that Im only getting 18-19 mpg (mostly city driver). Fairly comfortable for around town, horrible on hills... dont even think about taking it on mountain roads like we did - it was exhausting. Definitely lacks pickup and refinement.

  Very Happy with this car - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By jacee - January 1 - 10:39 pm

  I bought this new in Feb. 2007 with only 4 miles on it. In 5 years I only had one breakdown. The starter went out last year about 50k. I did not try to use the warranty just had it replaced. I have kept up all maint.. Including the expensive timing belt and water pump. That was 1600 but I also replaced the battery and serpintine belt. Anyway the car is not a hot rod but will get you out in traffic. Gas mileage is best at 55 to 60 mph. Drove it on hwy at 75mpg and gas mileage plummeted. Still get about 21 city/hwy. Drive well, very comfortable and love the storage capacity. I am at 66k miles now still no problems.

  Kia Sportage - 2007 Kia Sportage

  I like my 07 Kia very much. It rides smooth and is comfy. The gas of course is a little problem. But it is a crossover suv so.. I got this for the safety.

  Great Car for Price - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By Rusty - May 19 - 10:36 am

  Purchased this for my wife. We looked at the CR-V, but it was not available with a V6. Also, was about 10K more when compared to our fully loaded KIA. Also, the KIA has a better warranty. This car is excellent for the price. The 4X4 w/ESC and TRAC is GREAT in the snow and ice. Leather heated seats & remote start are nice and a must for cold weather users. Not impressed with the gas mileage. We have yet to see better then 18.5 MPG in the city. (About 17 in the winter.) I was never a fan of KIA before I purchased this, but so far, I have been impressed. I would purchase again.

  Exceeded my expectations - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By Greg - January 27 - 3:16 am

  We usually buy a two year old vehicle and my last one was a Ford Explorer. Decided this time that for about the same money I could have a new Sportage. Very satisfied with my decision, nice size and good comfort and the quality seems to be fine but time will tell. Gas milage is as advertised plus a little more.

  This is one happy KIA Sportage Owner - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By KIA on the Gulf - December 22 - 5:06 pm

  I was nicely surprised at the options that came on my Sportage... the leather package, heater seats, etc. Ive ridden in Honda CRVs where you feel a dime when you run over it. Not this vehicle. The ride is very smooth in-town and on an interstate. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

  Research brought me to the SPORTAGE - 2007 Kia Sportage
  By KIAs race bred SUV - October 9 - 11:30 pm

  Man I looked all of em. Started with the Forester, then a ML benz, Rav4, CR-V, and on and on. For 20k you will get close to rubbish in Australia in this class of vehicle. Reading numerous reviews led me to the Kia and believe me I didnt want to go there but the reviews couldnt all be lying! I looked into it. I must admit I was very surprised when I test drove one and found it to be better than all the above mentioned when considering ride quality (smooth as butter) braking is excellent, power is much better than its competitors except the xt forester, the black one I bought my wife looks better than all these overpriced under performers. KIA got it right with this one what can I say?
