What Owners Say
"Very good handling and acceleration/stopping."
D T., TX (2012 Kia Sportage)"Excellent steering response & handling in heavy traffic. Very good acceleration when entering highways."
Anonymous, NY (2012 Kia Sportage)"At 100,000 km guck build-up over valves has been cleaned up and although this servicing was expensive, we noticed a real difference in acceleration. Overly, my wife and I enjoyed the daily ownership of this SUV with its easy going to live with and reasonable servicing fees at the dealership."
Dom P., ON (2012 Kia Sportage)"The base engine has just adequate power for city driving, the handling is somewhat skittish on bumps"
Anonymous, AB (2012 Kia Sportage)"Comfort, convience"
Anonymous, NV (2012 Kia Sportage)"Vehicle is all-wheel-drive and handles well in inclement weather, including snow. Accelerates and handles well for a smaller vehicle, but the ride isn't as smooth as it could be. Noisier that Ridgeline."
