Kia Sportage SUV 1.6T GDi 248 PHEV GT-Line S 5dr Auto AWD Owner Review

COMFORTABLE, ROOMY FEEL AND NICE SOLID BUILD QUALITY TO THIS CAR BUT ITS NOT GOOD TO DRIVE. HAS A TENDANCY TO WANDER ACROSS THE ROAD IF YOU HAVE THE LANE GUIDANCE SYSTEM DISABLED. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS ENABLED BUT ITS TOO TROUBLESOME TO LEAVE IT ON, PARTICULARLY FOR TOWN DRIVING. SO YOU HAVE TO DISABLE IT EVERYTIME YOU GET IN. YOU CANT PERMANENTLY DISABLE IT.

THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE MOTORWAY DRIVING IS ALSO CONCERNING. ITS TRYING TO BE WAY TOO CLEVER AND ISNT WORTH ENGAGING. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR IVE EVER OWNED WHERE I DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL. LONG DRIVES CAN BE VERY DRAINING WHILST ITS OFF AND EVEN MORE DRAINING WHILE ENGAGED BUT I FEEL SAFE WITH IT OFF. OVERALL, ITS A FAIRLY NICE FAMILY CAR BUT ITS VERY TIRESOME AND UNTRUSTWORTHY TO DRIVE.
