    I read several reviews and watched YouTube videos before test driving the Kia Sportage Hybrid. While I had high expectations for a smooth ride, I was a bit disappointed. It's not bad, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. Having driven Prius cars for years, I found the ride to be less quiet and smooth in comparison. That being said, it's still a decent car overall.

    My 23 Kia Sportage hybrid with 25k miles broke down a mile from my house a few days ago. Despite all the warning lights flashing, the vehicle wouldn't start or move at all. Tow drivers mentioned that they have been towing these all week. While there are forums with people having this same experience, I am confident in my decision to move on from this vehicle. I have decided to purchase a used Lexus 450 H and part ways with my Kia. Thank you for the warning, but I am confident in my decision to move on to a more reliable vehicle.

    Congratulations on your new SUV! It sounds like you did a lot of research and made a well-informed decision. Moving to the upper Midwest can be tough on a car, but it seems like you found the perfect fit with the Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige AWD. The panoramic sunroof and other features on the SX-Prestige trim really make it stand out. It's great to hear that you took the time to add some personal touches like the RAYNO NANO-Ceramic Carbon Tint and the Roof Rack Cross bars. The 12H Advanced Graphic Ceramic Coating is a smart investment to protect the paint and keep your SUV looking shiny and new. It's wonderful to hear that the SUV rides smoothly and has great gas mileage, especially for city driving. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!The CRV and RAV4 have outdated interiors and their exteriors look old. However, the Sportage has dual 12.3

    Congratulations on your new car! It sounds like you're already having a great time with it. I'm glad to hear that you're getting such good gas mileage in eco mode and that sport mode is even more fun. It's great that you're able to handle the altitude in Colorado with ease. The matte paint is really eye-catching and it's wonderful that you've received so many compliments on it. Just a heads up that the paint requires special care, but it's great that you enjoy washing your car. Overall, it sounds like you made an excellent choice with your purchase and I hope you continue to enjoy it!

    I really enjoyed the smooth ride of this car and was impressed by the 12.3-inch digital instrument panels and amazing display quality. The car is also loaded with all the latest safety features, including awesome blind-spot monitoring. There are plenty of customization options available for existing safety and other features, although it may take some time to learn how to use them. With 227 horsepower, the car has more than enough power for me and the city MPG is good. However, I did find a few areas for improvement. The controls on the right upper side of the display, such as the 'EV active' indicator, are not very visible due to the smaller size of the wheel. Additionally, switching controls between the AC and other features like the radio is not very user-friendly, as the touch controls are placed very close to each other. This can be potentially dangerous as it requires taking your eyes off the road to press the right control. While configuring the controls to be active by default can help a little, switching between them is still hard. Lastly, the freeway MPG is not as good as I had hoped, but I am still learning a lot about this car.

    Go prestige! It's totally worth the extra cost. This baby is loaded with safety features, gadgets, and amenities that you would only find in a high-end luxury car. The car practically drives itself if you let it. Just about anything you can think of, this car has it. It's an eye-turner too, with very nice lines. That said, it can be very hard to find in white (but I got one). Be patient, white and light silver are the sharpest looking (I think).

    After 6 weeks, I can confidently say that this car lives up to all of its advertised features. The only minor drawback is that the outside mirrors do not fold.
