2011 kia Sportage reviews

Kia Sportage KX2 2011

We have just bought a new KX2 model Sportage, having had a Freelander for seven troublesome years. The Sportage is smooth and comfortable to drive and comes with an extensive standard kit including part leather, cruise control, electric windows and full panoramic sunroof. You would pay another £10,000 for a similar spec’d Freelander. But the icing on the cake has to be the 7 year warranty, something you would need with the Freelander. So far the car is economical at about 42 mpg on average and the engine isn’t even run in. The only criticism is that the seats are very low; the driver’s can be raised but not the passengers and the back seats are very low for our kids, although they don’t seem to mind as they love the large sunroof. The car has been admired by all with whom We have come into contact. Kia’s new ex-Audi designer is certainly doing the business in terms of looks. The Sportage is by far the smartest looking small 4x4 in this class. We would thoroughly recommend it and the dealer in Milton Keynes from where we bought it. Great people to deal with and they made it worth my while to travel from N.Ireland to buy one, rather than locally.
