2009 4dr SUV 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Research revealed surprising quality and positive ratings from professional and KIA owners. The new 10 yr/100,00 mi. warranty iced the cake. see full Kia Sportage review
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD		 This is my 2nd Kia and the brand has a good reputation with me. I also like the no nonsense image and the exceptional warranty. see full Kia Sportage review

2012 4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I'm just really ticked off that the fuel economy is nowhere CLOSE to what was advertised. Want to return this vehicle and get a vehicle from a different Company. For anyone else affected by the fuel economy, there is a "compensation program" that uses low estimates for every facet of calculation, so they want to pay you about 1/5 of what you really should receive for fuel compensation. Just despicable of KIA. Will never buy one again, and forewarn others. This is a really dirty practice done to boost sales over other companies. Fuel economy is completely unachievable. It is fraudulent advertising. Never KIA again. see full Kia Sportage review

2009 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 The 10 year/ 100,000 miles warranty is un-beatable. I spoke to couple friends & co-workers who owns KIA or Hyundai, they all said the warranty is great, but they never needed it anyway. A reliable car with great warranty, no other auto makers can match. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2005 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Hyundai has gone from bottom of the bucket to top tier automobile in--my opinion--less than 10 years. To me, this fact alone speaks volumes about the company itself. The Elantra is a fantastic competitor to the Civics, Sentras and Corollas out there. see full Hyundai Elantra review
