Kia Sportage Reliability And Durability: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 4dr SUV While the car does not feel all that "solid", the car has been relible and durable full 2014 Kia Sportage review
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD
My previous Kia was totally reliable. The Sportage has the same engine & gearbox and many common fittings so I am hoping for the same (it has positive consumer reviews). The interior is designed for work with a well lined cargo area. full 2008 Kia Sportage review
2006 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6

Remains to be seen. Kia motors is on it's way up and I still think it could go either way as far as durability and reliability are concerned. full 2012 Kia Sportage review
