Pros: handles great mileage as advertised, awesome safety features! Adjustable arm rest.

Cons: 19 mpg highway, 17-18 mpg city. Cup holders should be closer to arm rest.

Review: For the money, this is a great vehicle. The ride is smooth, it handles great, very responsive, mileage is as expected. Contrary to other reviews I've read, very reliable so far, dealership very helpful to resolve ...

Pros: Affordable and as great as the Sorento.

Cons: No real issues.

Review: I fell in love with the Sportage's big brother, Sorento. But he demanded too much money. I thought I needed something as big and as powerful as "big brother", and boy was I wrong. The 2006 Kia Sportage was affordable and large enough for my new ...

Pros: Stylish interior, nice sound system, nice power and handling, good gas mileage, sunglass holder

Pros: Looks cool; drives smooth; reasonably priced

Review: I love my 2006 Kia Sportage. It is an LX model. Everyone always comments on how "sporty" it looks (I guess it's well named, then!). Also, when I take people for rides in it the first thing they always comment on is how smooth it rides. I live on a ...

Pros: Price, Appearance, 10 year 100,000 mile warranty

Cons: Gas mileage is lower than advertised.

The Bottom Line: Excellent SUV for the money. I would definately recommend to a mid size family looking for an SUV with low gas mileage.

Review: Last year we were in the market for a new car and wanted a 4 door that was large enough for our growing family , transporting two dogs and easy on Gas. As the kids become teenagers, they basically get bigger and "taxi" gets put on the roof of all cars. ...

Pros: Value, Build quality, refinement, styling (especially the XS in black!) verstility.

Cons: Mileage, some plastics, body control, after-market stereo.

Review: I have a 2006 Sportage in Cherry Black with leather interior, cruise control, Climate Control et al. Firstly the downside:- 33mpg average is slightly less than I expected.Some of the interior plastics are a bit cheap, steering is a bit lifeless, and ...

Pros: Low price, nicely finished interior, room, interior versatility

Cons: Four too weak, handling could be sportier

The Bottom Line: You want the six.

Review: Last year I drove the Sportage in EX trim with a V6 and sharp black leather interior (review h ere). The V6 is only available with an automatic transmission, and while this suits the vast majority of compact SUV buyers ...
