2006 Kia Sportage Review:
I traded in my Civic for this car about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I never thought that I would ever buy a Kia of any sort but started reading reviews for compact suvs and the Sportage was highly rated, so I gave it a shot and didn't even drive anything else. The car has a lot of power, but as with any 6 cylinder engine you loose some gas mileage.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Kia Sportage?
18 months and 18,000 miles of comfortable and trouble free ownership. Nice combination of utility with fun driving characteristics.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Kia Sportage?
Would like better MPG. KIA claims 19 - 25, but I get only 20 all around and have hit high of 25 only on one trip.

2006 Kia Sportage Review:
At purchase time this vehicle met all our needs, but would not have bought without the long warranty. Have been very pleasantly surprised that it has performed admirably and even has a bit of sporty and fun driving characteristics. Would definitely buy again.
