2012 Kia Sportage Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by Tania66

Price or payments

I wanted a lower car payment

Exterior styling

Looks great!

Fuel economy

Better fuel economy than my BMW.

Powertrain performance

Very peppy. Turbo charged engine is very fast

Feature availability

Lots of upgrades available for this class of vehicle.

Ride smoothness

Rough ride but I'm used to it having just come from a BMW.

Materials & workmanship

Borderline cheap, but solid and seems well put together so far. Definitely seen worse.

Reliability & durability

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.

Depreciation

I'm worried that the car will be worth nothing when I'm ready for a new car (3-5 yrs).
