  After a month of use - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By Anonymous - November 19 - 2:00 am

  After a month, I rate this vehicle better than average and the leader in this class. The ride is stiff, perhaps too stiff. The Sirrus radio sounds a bit shrill at the mid level and treble, but the FM is not as bad. Maybe it is the antenna. It took some time, but I found a bass boost in the set-up program. But it does handle well and is comfortable, except for the ultra stiff ride. The mileage is a minimum 20.5mpg in town and 29mpg on the highway, not quite what I expected, but better than my 2003 Honda CRV. I like the Sportage better than the sister Tucson. Would I buy again, probably, but might spend $6000 more for a Buick Regal.

  So Far So Good! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By GD - October 14 - 10:00 am

  Well I have had a Honda Accord and a Nissan Maxima. I purchased a Honda 2010 and really felt after all the snow that fell in my area that I should have purchased a SUV. I was informed that Kia has a pretty good SUV with a great safety rating. So I tried it and decided to trade in the Honda. So far so good. The ride is a bit firm and I am starting to get use to it. I will update if there are any changes.

  Great so far! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By rob8here - March 9 - 10:00 am

  So far I really love this car. Its got all the benefits of a small car (mpg, parking, turn radius), but its really fun to drive and has lots of "utility" features.

  Very impressive SUV - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By Bill Moore - January 26 - 10:00 am

  Exceptionally well designed. Incredible array of features for the price. Build quality is excellent. Got the AWD EX with leather/sunroof package. Recently parked next to some BMW, Audi and Lexus SUVs and this SUV knocks them all off the block on looks alone. Buy it, you wont regret it.

  Loving it!!! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By loulou7 - September 22 - 4:52 am

  Couldnt be happier with our purchase. I love my new car!! Havent found any downfalls yet. I did have concerns before purchasing about the C pillars but, so far we havent had any visability issues. The 18 inch wheels are a little stiffer ride, but not bad at all. All in all just very happy with the Sportage and we have people ask us about it all the time.

  Are You Kidding Me?? - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By teeman - June 28 - 5:46 pm

  I got the first 2011 Sportage in this area. It is an EX AWD model, 18" wheels, 6 spd automatic, 4 cyl 176 hp engine. The ride is great, handling and power far better than my previous vehicles, Found this SUV while actually looking at another make. It was just off the delivery truck and not even on the lot yet. The appearance of this car is outstanding. I enjoy getting all the looks while driving around town. Am looking forward to this winter when I can get out on the roads. Have only had it for a week or so, getting 22 mpg in city driving.

  Great car for Kia - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By gopajo - May 8 - 10:00 am

  I’ve had the car for a couple of months now and I just love to drive it. Gas mileage a little lower than I had hoped for when I drove it up north with it last week. Averaged a little more MPG than our old “06” Mazda van. My wife loves the car also especially the heated seats and back up camera.

  Lovin every minute of it - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By misfit - May 8 - 10:00 am

  This is my first Kia. We are a big Chevy family, and I was a little hesitant on the Kias. Wanted a relatively loaded vehicle with low financing and low price tag. Was sold on the Sportage the minute I drove it. Very comfortable (I have a bad back). Has a lot of features for a stick shift car. Recently took it on a 6 hour drive to another state. Couldnt have been happier--very comfortable, and 27 mpg.

  I love it! - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By Jennifer - March 27 - 10:00 am

  I was first drawn to the 2011 Sportage due to its aggressive exterior styling, which is really nice. When I went to test drive it, I was pleasantly surprised at the extreme value you get for the cost. The interior is really nice and very modern. And, there are extra features such as the bluetooth integration and iPod ports, as well as the shiftable automatic transmission that really make this car a great value. At first I was leery of it being a 4-cylinder, but that was before I drove it. It has plenty of get up and go! Doesnt drive like a 4-cylinder at all in my opinion. I cant really comment on reliability, as Ive only had it for 2 weeks.

  Finally - 2011 Kia Sportage
  By Brad Bachman - January 10 - 9:56 am

  Finally an import that I fit in. I am 64" and have finally found an import with plenty of leg room for me. Not to mention that the 2011 Kia is well appointed and fun to drive. I miss the power of my 300c but not the poor fuel mileage. Oh yeah it has a great panoramic roof. Look forward to driving the Kia everyday. The Kia I bought is the 2011 Sportage EX
