Absolutely excellent vehicle! - 2005 Kia Sportage
By Bob Peck - December 9 - 8:40 pmI really like my Sportage. Drove it to the Grand Canyon recently where it delivered good power, quiet and pleasant ride and decent fuel economy (27 MPG). Mine is the luxury edition with leather, great radio with 6 deck CD and excellent dash set up. Interior is very flexible and accommodating -- all for $20,000 with the 10 year warranty.

Kia Sportage - 2005 Kia Sportage
By dana Owens - November 25 - 5:36 pmIve had the Sportage one month and so far everything has performed to my expectations. I knew when I bought it that I was buying one of the cheaper sporty SUVs. It is not a powerful car but it gets about 24 mpg which is a great improvement from my previous car (Pathfinder) which got about 15 mpg.

Great small SUV - 2005 Kia Sportage
By JD - November 19 - 10:56 amBetter looking inside and out than Honda or Toyota, great interior space for a small SUV, workmanship quality on par with the best in class, nice V6 could use just a bit more power and refinement when pushed but overall a very nice powertrain, excellent brakes, handles more like a sporty sedan than an SUV.

The better Kia Sportage - 2005 Kia Sportage
By K McMichael - November 12 - 11:03 pmI must say that the new Kia Sportage has come a long way. Compared to the old kia sportages this new one is great.

2005 Sportage - Love It! - 2005 Kia Sportage
By J. Cannon - September 1 - 3:36 pmWe bought this as our main family car & just happened to look at the Kias. We were also looking at Vues, RAV4s, and CR-Vs. The Kia provided the best interior space & features that we enjoyed. Our 2 kids have plenty of room. The drive is comfortable & the car feels almost indestructible ... try it, open the door and slam it! It sounds solid! The Sportage provides all the creature comforts we want but still feels a bit rigid (which we like). We currentlyget 27 mpg on highway & 23 on city, not too bad. For a small SUV it does fine in mpg. We definitely do not regret getting the Sportage. The price was great & the quality was better than the others. The standard features are perfect.

Better Sportage - 2005 Kia Sportage
By Kendra - July 16 - 5:30 pmI feel that this new design of the Kia Sportages are very cool. It is a whold new look and now they really look like SUVs. I would tell lots of people to buy one because, they are not that expensive and yet they are stylish.

New Kia Owner - 2005 Kia Sportage
By tjb3302 - June 18 - 5:50 amOverall a great vehicle, on the highway or running around town. Features make carrying cargo a snap, and sufficient room with or without the back seats folded for anything we are transporting. Cargo cover works great to hide things under as if we had a nice truck with a trunk.

great car! - 2005 Kia Sportage
By marco - May 19 - 10:06 amThis is the best small SUV in terms of quality/price rapport. Its very silent and offers a smooth ride. Its also stylish. Its not a sport car and it is perfect for a small family. My biggest complain is about fuel economy. I measure gas consumption many times and in the city the car gives 16 mpg, although in the highway it is just fine: 27 mpg.
