So I’m sort of looking for a new car to replace my 2007 S60R. I want more height, and something with a warranty - preferably new.
With that being said, I revisited a car that I completely forgot about: the Kia Sportage. I think it’s certainly one of the more striking vehicles in the class, and in SX Trim, I get a massive sunroof, heated/cooled leather seats, navigation, other stuff, and 260HP.
To add the that, they don’t sell spectacularly, so I probably won’t see a price all that close the to $32,000 MSRP.
I’ve got a test drive scheduled for tomorrow. I’m prepared for awful blind spots and some interior plastics. Otherwise, does this sleeper-ish car get Oppo-Approval?

I think that Kia and Hyundai offer more bang for the buck than any other manufacturer today. I feel like they’re in that spot where Toyota and Honda were in the late 80s and early 90s where they’re making damn good cars, but there are still people who remember the pieces of shit they used to make.

Visibility and practicality-wise, it's not great, but otherwise if you get a good deal on a well-equipped car, go for it. I mean, the thing can play rugby!

Forte SX or Subaru Forester XT?

Not bad.
Would be better if they really, REALLY meant SPORTage, and put a manual or dual-clutch gearbox behind that 2.0T-GDI engine, with AWD. I think it may only be automatic, whether you choose AWD or FWD.

I briefly worked at a Kia dealer, and they were actually quite pleasant. I only drove them on the lot, but I was impressed with them overall

Boring, but it does a good job for what it is.

It’s a 6-Speed Auto. I’d prefer if I could get the european offering, with the manual gearbox. I’m happy it doesn’t ave a CVT yet...
