  2005 Kia Sportage LX FWDR - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Susanne - June 30 - 8:43 am

  A great SUV, fun to drive. Gas Mileage is at 19 and 26 per dealership. I love the storage capacity and the ease of flipping over the back seats that lay completely flat. Its comfortable to zip around town in all day and is a great cross country vehicle as well.

  I Love my 2005 Sportage !! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Kathy - April 12 - 5:13 pm

  As a consumer I have to say I really love my 2005 Kia Sportage. The new design is roomy, comfortable and makes me feel safe and secure. I always likes the looks of the original Sportage but must say the larger 2005 Sportage is really a good looking car. The warranty with the 60,000 or 5 year roadside assistance along with the extended 100,000 mile warranty at no charge in the purchase price would be hard to beat... and that aspect made a large impact on my purchase decision. I live in a small city that as severe winters and heavy snow..while I didnt buy a 4x4 I have no worry regarding winter performance. Besides, with the roadside assistance at no charge to me I trust Kias dependability.

  By pattistolar - April 8 - 12:09 am

  I love my 2005 Sportage. Ive had it since it was 6 months old and its never given me any problems whatsoever! Its 8 years old now, with 160,000 km and is the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Just change the oil and it just keeps on going. Great in the snow too with just all seasons tires. Yay for Kia!!

  Kia Makes A Comback - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Nancy - March 15 - 10:20 am

  I wanted to buy a Sportage when they first came out - am very glad I waited for the 2005 model. I did a lot of research and I dont feel that you could have put more features in a car for the price and the warranty is outstanding. The warranty had a lot to do with choosing this car but competing dealer had same warranty and I still chose the Sportage. It looks good, rides well and is just an all around great means of transportation. The dealership was great and couldnt beat the price - 17,500 with my trade. I am very happy with my Spotage and am glad I decided to buy it.

  Great Car, Great Price! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Josh - February 13 - 4:16 pm

  I have owned my Sportage for almost a year, and I love it. It is the best car I have ever owned, and you cant beat the warranty. Drives great and looks like a more expensive SUV. I would definitely buy another Kia, they have really stepped up their U.S. models lately!

  I love my Sportage - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Beth - February 6 - 12:33 am

  When I first saw that Kia was reintoducing the Sportage, I had to check it out. My husband had a 2002 and regrets having traded it in. I researched on line and went to my local dealer to see it in person. I was impressed by the amount of room and the safety features. Plus it now had an available 6 cyl. engine. I bought an LX FWD in jade green. This model came with all the features I wanted and has plenty of room for my family of 5 plus baseball equipment etc. I compared the specs to those of the Sorento. The differences were only a matter of inches and the Sportage is very reasonably priced. I love driving it all over town!

  Lucys Kia - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Robert Gayle - October 12 - 10:43 pm

  We tried all the big name small sport utes. This vehicle fit our needs perfectly. With the v6 it handles, and rides very well. We got the EX model mainly it was the only one with the upgardes we wanted. It has all the fetures we had in our 15yr old Mazda 929 trade in, and a few more.The leather seats are comfortable,rear seats have all kinds of room we didnt expect. Their is a Toyota RAV4 in the family and this thing has more creature comfort than we expected. The cargo area is much better than we expected. When we decided to purchase a new vehicle we tried the Tribute,Escape,Honda,Suziki,Chevy.what a disapointment.The tribute & Escape are a bad joke. KIA IS THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.

  My first import and love it - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Pam - August 18 - 5:23 pm

  This is my first import and love it. I as unhappy with GM, Ford, and Chrysler so went import. I have not had any problems with my Kia, great driving, handles great. Even in snow, the Sportage handles very good. Gas mileage could be better, something for Korea to work on.

  I love my new KIA Sportage! - 2005 Kia Sportage
  By Stephanie Smith - June 21 - 8:20 am

  I love my new 2005 KIA Sportage!!! It drives like a dream! It turns tightly and doesnt ever feel like it is leaning when you turn. It has great pick-up and smooth shifting. I love all the storage and the upholstery and carpeting. The standard alarm and keyless entry and sunroof were great bonuses! Best of all is the 10 year 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty and the 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty! How can you beat that?
