Excellent inside and out! - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Dan K. - September 2 - 7:53 pmThe first time I climbed in this car it reminded me of my early 2000s Audi A6 because of the layout of the dash, the shape and comfort of the seats, and the premium feel of the leather seats and steering wheel. However, when I fired it up and drove it around the block, it felt much more planted than said Audi. I have nothing but great things to say about this car! Peter Schreyer did an incredible job designing the interior of the car to make it feel like a much more expensive European SUV, and the exterior resembles the latest offerings in the category from Porsche and Audi, from the glossy black plastic fascia and foglight surroundings, to the excellent LED surrounded projectors and sexy body contours. The climate control is fantastic, and the screen is great. The front and rear seats are great, and the rears even recline for extra comfort. There are a million airbags, and nothing rattles at all. Acceleration is what is to be expected from a heavy 4-cylinder SUV, but the 6 speed auto keeps it in the rev range that maximizes torque and passing power when needed. My wife is 7 months pregnant, and I feel very comfortable knowing shes in this car when she has to go out. Fuel economy is what was to be expected, though it is probably the cars worst aspect. I average about 22MPG combined, but the car only has 2,100 miles on it, so itll work in a bit and probably increase, but it is what was advertised so I cant complain.

AWESOME!! - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Mrs. Tamara - April 25 - 9:00 pmI own a 2017 Kia Sportage and say no more, its easy on gas, quick on acceleration, quiet and I call it "My Lady Bug" lol. I love the style and the space in the back seat is good. I can fit 5 people in my Sportage with no problem. However I wish I could have got AWD instead of FWD, thats the only thing I would change. Its affordable, reliable, the trial SiriusXM Radio is so nice, hardly no commercials (Finally) I dont have to listen to the radio talking. Back to the Sportage, I own a Lexus SUV 2005 & I have two nice vehicles. Just goes to show me cars dont have to cost a fortune to be comfortable & cute.

Kia Sportage – Joy to Drive but Low on Gas Mileage - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Chris - April 12 - 2:49 amI agree with a lot of the other reviewers on the overall happiness with the 2017 Kia Sportage. However, I get no where near the gas mileage that others have reported, even on the base model front wheel drive. Am I missing something? Driving in Eco mode, I am lucky to get 21mpg overall in city driving. I expected a little better in Eco Mode. If I dare to change to standard or sport mode, it takes half a tank to get back up to 20mpg in Eco Mode. I dont drive much, so its not a huge deal, just wondering what I might be doing wrong. Despite the gas mileage, I really love my 2017 Kia Sportage. I bought the front wheel drive LX back in August and it has just the right amount of torque and acceleration that I need for urban driving. Even in Eco mode, I noticed that it performed better than the Nissan Rogue, RAV4 and Honda CRV. However, what really stood out to me was the amount of features I got with the base model LX compared to Toyota, Nissan, Mazda and Honda. I also appreciated the long warranty, reliability ratings and the IIHS top safety report. I really like the overall design of the car (especially the tiger nose grill) and the spacious back seats sealed the deal for me. I used to drive a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle, so pretty much any new car was amazing to me. The first car I test drove was the Mazda CX3 and it was a lot of fun to drive but too compact. I then tried the Nissan Rogue which had a lot of nice features for the price but not much acceleration and it rolled too much. The Honda CRV was a total letdown and a completely boring car. The Toyota RAV4 felt like a very solid and well built car. The quality was very apparent but so was the high price. After testing the 2017 Kia Sportage, seeing all the features and finally the reasonable price, I was sold. Now, Im not a fan of the gas mileage but I drive so little that it never mattered to me. At the end of the day, the Sportage is a lot of fun to drive and provides a comfortable ride with enough acceleration that I can get around the city without any problems.

Very much worth buying! - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Franics - January 24 - 6:46 amI have a Kia Sportage 2017 SX AWD which I bought in July 2016. I love it so much!. Fantastic design, comfort, and technology. The safety features help to prevent road accidents. My friends always say they like it too! Until now, I havent had any issues with it, still works nicely. It also has a backup camera but I just wish that the manufacturer included a 360-degree camera to better assist with parking. I compared the features of my Sportage to my friends Honda Civic and Ford Escape and I think the Sportage is better in total. I do not regret buying it.

Sportin my New 2017 Sportage EX - 2017 Kia Sportage
By SillySindy - July 11 - 5:55 pmWow... what a difference the 2017 Sportage EX is compared to the 2016 Sportage...BIG change....world of difference in comfort/road holding/steering/gadgets. Test drove the 2016 and 2017...knew right away...2017 Sportage EX was going to be my pick. Went with the premium package...didnt feel the technology package was worth the extra 2 grand. Only disappointing feature on the 2017 Sportage EX is the lack of cargo compartment space...no pockets in the back for items...everything slides around....no passenger side cargo space-saver under the seat and no coin change holder/personal/dodads draw or compartment to hide small items...just a big deep hole in the console that you probably will never find something in....once you place it in there....

SX AWD TURBO LOVING IT !!!! - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Dolf - June 27 - 9:21 amLove this car ! Compared it to its step brother the Hyundai Tucson that doesnt have the looks, or fine interior, or the 2.0 turbo engine. I believe Hyundai might have told Kia after having the newer better car, "oh no you dont , you are not posting good gas mileage results". Just a thought .... But we are getting 30mpg highway easily at a constant 65 mp/h We have even seen 33 Mpg ! On average after putting on 8000 miles I would day the Average MPG is about 25 with city driving and pretty bad freeway traffic here in L.A. The car is very nicely styled and quiet, powerful even at low rpms. The stereo/navigation is excellent ! We tried the AWD in the snow up in Big Bear Ca after a winter storm and were very impressed. The car has a comfortable ride but handles extremely well and feels tight on the steering. Parking is a breeze with its short turning radius. All and all my wife and I are happy with the car and highly recommend. The Audi Q5 is comparible but about 10-15k more expensive for a similar vehicle.

2017 Kia Sportage - Beautiful but with Problems - 2017 Kia Sportage
By Renee Jones - May 6 - 1:52 amI purchased my 2017 Kia Sportage with 34 miles on it on September 6th. 9 days later it has 347 miles on it, and I am having some problems. The past three mornings the car turns over a few times before starting. This morning after it started, it acted like it wanted to cut off. The car does a lot of transmission shifting when driving in slower traffic, and sometimes it doesnt accelerate unless you press the gas pedal pretty hard. When stopped at red lights, its starting to have noise and vibration.
