What people say
Love the heated seats - front and back. A comfortable car.
I looked at the Ford Kuga, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Qashqai as I prefer an SUV however the Kia Sportage GT-line was everything I wanted. Parking sensors, heated seats (front and back), leather and a spacious boot with a pull cover. Very smooth to drive, quick on the uptake and big enough for my whole family including the dog.
You buy a car for what you need. The kia Sportage fitted most of our requirements. Its spacious, comfortable, economical and good looking. I hope its reliability reputation holds. Just driven to Netherlands and it behaved impeccably. Well done Kia.

Great car so far high driving position 1.7 diesel 43 mpg so far
