In their own words

Makes a mockery of European Car Safety Standards (NCAP). The kia systems implemented in the sportage to meet those standards makes this car so dangerous and tedious to drive. I've been driving 46 years (since 1979) with an average mileage of 50,000 miles a year. I have no points on my licence and the last accident I was involved in was in 2003 caused by someone going in the back of me. This car is easily the worst, most dangerous car I’ve ever driven. I'll never get a kia again. Score would have been one star, but the built quality is good, hence two stars. Its no good building a quality car if its terrible to drive though!
