  What a sexy little beast! - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By Trisha Vilhauer - March 30 - 6:21 am

  This is actually my 5th Kia. I have owned a 2003 Kia Spectra, 2013 Kia Optima, 2016 Kia Optima, 2016 Kia Sorento, and not this beautiful 2017 Kia Sportage. I got the Sportage to replace the Sorento. I owned the Sorento for only 2 months before things started to break. It only had 1000 miles on it before the sun roof broke, and the trim pieces around the door started falling off. I never could get the UVO system to work properly. When I went to the dealership the Sportage was what I wanted, but they didnt have it in the trim level that I wanted and when they did get one in I wasnt impressed. When I took my Sorento in for repairs thats when I saw the 2017 Sportage and decided that this was a huge upgrade from the 2016. So I went all in. So far Im really impressed with this car. The look is sexy and sporty, and fun. The interior feels expensive (in most places), the tech package and all of the upgrades are awesome. This car has it all. It drives and handles great, and I love that the turbo engine give me all of the power I need to pass easily, and move in and through traffic without worrying about having the get up to make it into tight spaces. I can see myself driving this car for 10+ years. Pros: Excellent technology package, TONS of features like autonomous breaking, front collision warning, ventilated and heated seats, beautiful styling and I LOVE the dark brown leather seats. Lots of power and speed when its needed, comfortable ride, and the car feels spacious. Placement of all of the controls is perfect, everything is easy to find and easy to use. Android Auto is AWESOME!!! Cons: Some of the finishes feel a little cheap. I would have been willing to pay a little more for visors that dont feel like they are made of cheap plastic, The lack of the memory seat function, and the lack of the easy entry seat also gives the car a little bit of a cheap feeling. These things are very noticeable because the rest of the finishes are better quality. It would be nice if this car had the same luxury feel that the Sorento has. UVO system is still troublesome. I can only get the eServices portion to sync to my phone sporadically, and its a bummer that you need to have the phone plugged in to use it. Same with Android Auto there seem to be a few glitches like after taking a call the Google Play Music wont restart. I believe some of these things will be fixed throughout the year as updates are released. Still it would be nice to be able to use these functions via Bluetooth instead of needing to plug the phone in. More road noise than the Sorento, and the Optima. Bottom line this is a GREAT car, and I look forward to many years of enjoyment from it.

  kia hits a home run - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By Rick Derr - December 30 - 2:44 am

  this 2017 sx turbo sportage is our 4th Kia.Had a 2007 sportage that was great, traded it for 2009 BMW X3 when service contract ran out it was very,very expensive for service,traded in for 2014 Sorento Limited absolutely loved the vehicle,lease up in March 2016 and released 2016 Soento inhancements make it even better than 2014.Decided to trade 2013 Toyota RAV4 Limited for all new 2017 Sportage SX turbo,absolutely love it the handling,power,and equipment are superb.Kia is putting BMW etc to shame with standard equipment and options.Well done Kia.... I now have approx. 5,000. miles on my Sportage and have found around town keeping it in sport mode increases the gas mileage to around 25 mpg.Also have driven it in our first snow storm and was really impressed with the over all handling.The options like auto high beams and auto stopping are very impressive and have recommended the 2017 Sportage to several friends that did go and purchase one.

  Love my new ride! - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By A. Thomas - August 4 - 8:41 pm

  We dont have snow here so I can not comment on that. I can not seem to adjust the vent to the right of the driver set to my liking for some reason....It just always seems to blow right on me no matter what I do! Not enough of a left to right adjustment available I would guess. Cant speak on maintenance costs as yet and thats a good thing but the mileage seems to be lower than expected. According to the cars internal stats and the amount of times I go to the gas station per month, I am getting less mileage than my 2007 Toyota Camry and thats NOT a good thing! I will evaluate that more closely over the next few months.

  Only two weeks so far, but two good weeks. - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By TJF - June 26 - 2:10 am

  Ive owned this vehicle for two weeks now. I traded in a Hyundai Azera so I was looking for something that felt as comfortable and equally appointed. I wasnt disappointed with the Sportage SX Turbo. From the two tone leather treatment to the center stack this vehicle offers comfort and all of the gadgets that I like. Please dont come to the party expecting good gas mileage, Ive owned Korean cars for over a decade now and theyre all notorious for poor gas mileage. Accepting that from the start I can find little more to complain about. The turbo is fast and the pedal is responsive. It offers 3 driving modes and if you want to get pushed back in your seat, select sport mode. Handling is responsive and ride quality is good and quiet. Ive not yet had the opportunity to see how the AWD handles itself in the snow but living in the NE, it wont be long. For me styling and comfort were two main concerns and this vehicle fits the bill. If youre looking for a vehicle that steps out from the lookalikes and blazes its own path, this vehicle is for you.

  My new Kia is better than the last - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By Lynne Pizette - January 22 - 9:51 am

  The 2017 Kia EX Sportage AWD is the sportiest SUV around. Really like the way it looks. Ive owned the car less than 2 weeks so Im still learning it, but so far its great! I owned the Sorento previously, never liked it and never thought Id get another Kia, but after researching and testing multiple vehicles I liked this best and the price was right.

  no spare tire!!! - 2017 Kia Sportage
  By freddy - October 18 - 3:37 pm

  It doesnt come with spare tire!!!!!!!!I found out a week after I bought it. when I went to lift the cover in the back they it came with a kit fill up the air and call the 1800 number for road assistance, but the problem I have to find a use tire. I never asked because to me thats common sense that a tire should be there it has the holder but no tire.
