Kia Sportage (2010 - 2016) 1.7 CRDi 2 5d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Don't really know and don't really care. I purchased the car as it was what we wanted, not because of the reaction we would get from others.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Two have liked it enough to purchase Sportages for themselves.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. 1) nice car to drive. 2) top notch local Kia Dealer (Milton Keynes Kia). 3) very economical.

What are you likely to buy next?

Really depends on what's about when it's time to change. We tend to move freely between vehicle classes and sizes depending on what's needed, but I could see us going for a second Sportage at this stage.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£18,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Liked the changes Kia made to the model in 2010.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very good, went for the 2 model instead of the 3 as the models with 17" wheels tend to hold the road a little better than the models with 18" wheels. Low wind & road noise considering ride height and tyre size.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, even my wife can park it!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope!

What's most practical about your car?

Good overall size, easy to park, great driving height makes it easy for pulling out of side turnings.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

None really, it just works well as a package.
