Price and equipment9.0/10

This car has everything I need, plus everything I want !

Under the bonnet9.0/10

The turbo diesel has incredible useable power.

How it drives7.0/10

For an SUV, it handles beautifully. It's quiet on the road and a joy to drive.

Comfort and practicality7.0/10

I'm 1.8 metres tall and weigh 105kg I find it easy to get in and out. The seats, while firm are very comfortable and supportive, even on long trips. Everything is in easy reach and work well.

Servicing and running costs7.0/10

Servicing costs are fixed so I know what to expect. 8.5 l/100k around town and 6.5 l/100k on the highway is pretty good, but not the best.

Aesthetics and styling9.0/10

The Sportage caught my eye two years before I bought it and I still think it's the best looking SUV on the road. It's will stay modern looking for years to come.

Safety and security10.0/10

5 star safety, alarm, engine security.What more could I ask for????.11

Quality and reliability10.0/10

My other car is a CLK Mercedes and I reckon the quality and finish of the Kia is up to Mercedes standard. Reliability has yet to be tested, but to date with 30000 Klms on the clock nothing has needed any sort of attention.

Overall verdict10.0/10

I did two years research before I finally picked the Sportage.I'm so glad I did.....the best car I've ever owned.
