  Love My 2005 Sportage - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Debbie - December 7 - 6:46 am

  Ive had my new 2005 KIA Sportage less than one week and I am very impressed with the roomy and very comfortable interior. Standard safety features and the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty were major factors in my decision to purchase this SUV. Standard features included traction and stability control as well as side curtain airbags for driver and passenger. The rear seats recline and fold down easily. The overall quality of this vehicle is very good.

  Bought 2, Both working out great! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Tom - August 7 - 7:20 pm

  We traded an Acura MDX and a Ford Focus to get one Sportage for my wife and a second for my daughter. So far, they are great vehicles and a really good value. They drive well, have great safety features and feel solid. Since they are a first year model, only time will tell on reliability. So far, no complaints at all.

  Wonderful - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Laura - April 21 - 7:03 am

  I have had my sportage for 3 months now and I love everything about it. I think it is awesome both inside and out and it is really fun to drive. The design of the care is really cool compared to the old sportage and the inside is really handy to haul things in. All the passanger seats lay flat to be able to get a 8 foot box inside. The only downside is the gas mileage approximately 19-20 in city and i havent taken it on the highway for a trip yet. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to everyone. A couple of my friends who have drove my sportage have also loved it.

  Great and Cheap, but not built like it! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Tim - March 26 - 7:00 am

  What value! We looked at everything and could not beat the value in this. With 6 airbags, ABS, stablity control, power locks and windows, V6 with auto/manual trans, A/C and CD for 19K. The ride and power are fine. And then you have the warranty with roadside assistance. How could you go wrong? You cant beat this value!

  Not a "Throw-Away Car" - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By jmc - January 6 - 6:23 am

  My wifes sister-in-law told her that Kias were cheap "Throw-Away cars." After 15 months and 30,000 miles this so called "throw-away" car with a 5 year 100,000 power train warranty has put her Ford minivan with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty to shame. Her minivan will be thrown away long before this Sportage.

  Love My Kia! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By LKirk - December 8 - 5:40 pm

  When I was looking for an SUV I was put off by the looks of many of them and defintely their price. I liked th enew look fo the KIA Sportage so I waited for it to come to the dealership near me to se it for myself and test drive it! I was so impressed I bought it! I have had nothing but compliments from strangers at the gas station even! They like the style and want to know what make SUV it is! It had every option I wanted for an extrememly reasonable price. I love it!

  Time to come out of the swamp - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Seniorcit. - September 2 - 2:13 am

  Kia should change its swamp buggy style advertising of the new Sportage and promote it for the classy smart vehicle it now is. With its stylish design and great performance it can hold its own with other similar type vehicles that cost thousands of dollars more.

  Toms Retirement Car - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Thomas L. Hoffman - August 4 - 9:26 pm

  After owning a Jeep Liberty, and test driving the Forester and the Sante Fe, I found the Sportage a real pleaser. Its new sleak design and roomier interior made this a must buy purchase for me. The main selling point for me was that it has all the features of a SUV but drives like a sedan. Ive only had this vehicle less than two weeks but family members and friends and friends were quite impressed with thisd car. KIA has probably the best warranty aroung today. I am hoping I amjust as pleased a year from now as I am today.
