  great small SUV for the price - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Will Heater - January 3 - 12:07 am

  this vehicle has FWD, but with good snow tires it was the best winter auto ever. MPG not great. Having a 2.7 L engine worth getting less milage. I would buy another Sportage. Only been in the shop twice in 8 years other than routine brakes , oil and filter,etc.

  mountain road king - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Tony M, - December 30 - 1:46 am

  I had tried my kia sportage 4 wheel drive 6v from las vegas to salt lake city and back after two days, had feeling of confident that it works well in up and down the road, zigzag was not a road threat at all, it can be maneuver easily and controlled, engine power is excellent, it will not turn you down, At first I am not confident about her performance, but with long driving, I can testify that it is a quality SUV, I dont blame myself for having Kia brand.

  Very happy with my sportage! - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By tlk7005 - September 19 - 7:40 am

  Quality, performance, and features for base model right up there with other manufacturers such as Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Honda, etc. in my experience. Reliability has been great! Have put 12,000 miles on in 7 mos. Dealer has been a pleasure to work with as has service dept. Avg gas mileage is 25, mostly hwy! Roomy and comfy, even back seat. And large dog fits in cargo space. Curious about handling in snow yet? Price cant be beat and dealer practically gave away the extended warranty as well, which, by the way, beats the competitions warranties by miles, literally and figuratively! Love my 2008 Sportage so much I just bought a new 2009 last weekend to go with it! This time it is a 4WD.

  Most bang for the buck - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By kiajerry - September 14 - 11:36 pm

  Best all-around and versatile vehicle i have ever owned. This is my third Kia, i already knew they are a great value. Cant wait till winter, this is my first all-wheel drive ride. The sportage is a nicer vehicle than my wifes 05 Mazda Tribute S. The only thing the Mazda has is a few more ponies. Way to go Kia!

  Absolutely A Great SUV - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Angela - September 5 - 12:43 am

  I was reluctant to consider KIA as a car that I would purchase. I went to the dealership by chance. Only to be sold on the beautiful looks of the Royal Jade Green Sportage. It looks comparable to the other SUVs in its class but a lot more affordable with the cost of fuel these days. It is surprisingly roomy and had most of the features I wanted in a vehicle in regards to safety for the family. I have 3 girls, 2 of which are teenagers and one in a car seat, and I was very surprised to see that my kids fit well in the back seat with no complaining. I think that it has more interior room than my 2007 Dodge Ram quad cab. I would highly recommend the KIA, as they have come a long way. Love it!

  Best vehicle I have ever owned! - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By SMA - September 1 - 12:06 am

  In 2006, our family purchased our first Sportage. It was Jade Green and I loved it so very much. Due to rising gas prices, we recently went on the lookout for a better commuter vehicle and, while impressed with the looks and mileage of the Kia compacts, we went right back to a new Sportage. This one is silver gray and happily accepted by the whole family. We love the safety it offers, the height, and the roomy interior. Im sure we will always go to the Kia Sportage as new vehicles are required by our family. My only issue is the ESC Off light came on as we drove it home from the dealership. Will call immediately to have it fixed.

  Crazy about my KIA - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Love my KIA in Wisc. - May 3 - 10:33 am

  I wanted a midsize SUV after always having sedans, but wanted something good on gas, and a good warranty. I am SO HAPPY with this car! We cant believe how much we can fit in it, and will never have to ask friends to pick up large items for us that we cant fit in our car. My husband who drives a Cougar, says he doesnt like sitting up so high, but I can see better over snowpiles. Yet anytime we both go anywhere, he wants to drive my KIA! I must say, I am really impressed with this vehicle. I average about 19-20mpg city, 23-24Hwy. So far, not one problem with anything. I drove a Ford Escape, Jeep Patriot, Saturn Vue; all felt like riding in a truck! My KIA has a nice soft ride.

  Great Car - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By PMK - March 12 - 10:56 pm

  My past 4 SUVs have been Jeeps. After my last experience, I decided to look elsewhere. I was about to purchase a Honda CR-V and decided to look at the Kia first. I loved the car so much, that I purchased it that night. The Kia Sportage was $7000 less than the CR-V and the 10 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper $0 deductible warranty sealed the deal.
