  Umm!! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By gd1 - May 27 - 6:24 am

  Well I purchased the 2011 Kia Sportage LX in August 2010 and I must say the firmness of the SUV was an issue with me. I enjoyed the Navigation and Satellite but it wasnt enough for me to keep the car due to my monthly payments. It was great in the snow. I hope my trade in was worth it. Bye Bye Kia!

  Cool SUV bad gas mileage - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By Daisy - February 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive bought my 2011 Kia Sportage almost 3 weeks ago and other than the horrible gas mileage Im getting, I am very happy. The sticker on the car said 21-30 MPG but no matter how perfect I drive, the MPG do not go above 20.4 MPG. I traded in a VW Jetta TDI which gave me anywhere from 35-52 MPG, so this car is a big drop. The only reason I traded in my Jetta was because it had been falling apart ever since I bought it but the gas was great. Other than the gas issues of the Kia, the car is wonderful and very comfortable. It is spacious and well designed, everyone tells me "Thats a Kia?" The huge double sunroof is the reason I bought it! If gas isnt a problem, this is a beautiful car.

  2011 Kia Sportage SX just purchased - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By jbeach2 - September 20 - 6:17 am

  Took a long time to review models and a month ago selected the turbo Kia Sportage at $30K out the door-it has all the options including these neat little floor lights. Heres what I think so far: 1-great drive- turbo moves and comes with a better suspension 2-price-its $6k less than a equally equipped luxury badge. If you dont care about "prestige" save a bundle buying the Kia 3- 31 mpg on open road and 25 in town-this is comparable to the RAV and the CRV-but with the turbo thrust 4-leather-excellent quality 6-driving comfort great 7-roomy but doesnt look like a behemoth on the road

  I went to check out the new sportage because i liked the way they looked and they were more affordable than the tahoe my wife wanted. after the test drive i was sold. i got the lx with upgraded rims and navi with backup cam it is amazing. even the glove box has ac for a bottle of water or whatever you decided to put in there to keep cool thats crazy! tons of room and the gps and backup cam is awesome. huge screen!

  Love it! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By suzq328 - June 30 - 5:50 pm

  Ive had my new 2011 Kia Sportage for just 10 days now and Im liking it more every day. I was previously driving a 03 Jeep Liberty Limited that I absolutely loved but after 133,500 miles the maintenance costs were going up while the dependability was going down. Cant really compare the Jeep with the Sportage but I am very pleased with my choice. There is plenty of oomph when I need it and the 30 mpg is awesome.

  Who would have known? - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By dezcars - May 15 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the EX FULLY LOADED AWD version. With every conceivable option it still only came to $30,065. The Orange color is eye popping, went to Niagara Falls and back from Syracuse NY and got 29.4 mpg with only 700 miles on the odometer. The hidden tray in the back wasnt in any of the vehicles on the lot so the dealership ordered it for me. Since its supposed to be in the vehicles as standard equipment, I got it for free. I bought the optional 10 year 100K bumper to bumper warranty and looking over what it covers its worth every penny. I was looking at all types of vehicles for my wife, she spotted this as it came off the truck. Its an outstanding vehicle. Youll love it. KIA? You Bet!

  Fun vehicle but disappointing fuel economy - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By mayfield53 - March 31 - 5:32 am

  Great styling inside and out. A number of features standard that you would pay extra in other cars. Have about 3,500 miles with no mechanical issues. I am over 6 foot and have plenty of head and leg room. The six speed automatic is quick to downshift on a grade. Fuel economy is well below the advertised 23-31. I have average around 22.5 through the winter months. Tires perform poorly in snow due to poor tread pattern. Ride is very stiff. Rear window is limits visibility, but large side windows overcomes this with a look over the shoulder. Overall fun to drive, easy to drive with good visibility of the road

  Great Ride - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By suvhappy - January 14 - 10:47 am

  I have only owned my Sportage since Jan 16 which is 3 days as of today and I could not be happier. Traded in a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado that had poor gas mileage (of course), was noisy to drive, uncomfortable to sit in except for short drives and handled like a Mack Truck. Just was completely dissatisfied with the drive and feel of an American-made car/SUV which felt cheap - not the reputation of Jeep I had expected. My Sportage has just made a 5 hour trip from the upper northwest Ohio to Columbus and neither I or my passengers felt fatigued by the seating or the room available in the seats. Got the 6-speed Automatic, turbo charged T-GDI model and I am thrilled.
