Kia Sportage (2010 - 2016) 2.0 CRDi KX-4 5d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Who cares - I like it and at the price it cannot be beaten.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Those who have been for a drive have all been very impressed.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Very possibly, but to date I have always changed to a different make or model.

What are you likely to buy next?

I really do not know!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£23,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a moderate reduction on the asking price and considered it a reasonable deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed an all purpose practical car.

What was the dealer like?

Helpful, friendly and open. He did not attempt to close the sale but then he knew I was a serious prospect!

What's it like to drive?

Good and its gets better the faster you drive. The weighted steering at higher motorway speeds gives impressive stability.

What's it like to park?

With a rear view parking camera, parking sensors and large side mirrors who needs a big back window! Its a doddle. The automatic parallel parking feature is the only one I have still not used.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong - but it is only 6 months since I bought it.

What's most practical about your car?

The size - carrying people and things and not feeling in the least bit cramped.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There are so many to choose from....but I was impressed with its visual instruction on when to change gear. Follow the instruction and you will get over 40 miles to the gallon in normal non motorway driving.
