I have a 2006, 5spd manual and I've been pretty happy with it. What has always bothered me is that the manual was only available with a 4 cylinder engine (I find automatics rather boring so that wasn't really an option for me). It needs a 6 cylinder, especially for offroad. The stick also has some issues - the accelerator does not disengage quickly enough when the clutch is depressed. I would recommend t.he 6 cylinder auto, but I wouldn't buy the standard again.
i have two...one in manual and the other automatic/trip tronic......its a good city car but has a lot of major faults...will not recommend for off roading.my automatic one had a lot of battery problem!one day....and the engine seized up as well!!and....getting spare parts is a huge hassle
This car is very good value for the money. If you can see past the KIA badge get one you will not be disappointed. A good mix of Estate/SUV and Car all in one package. Just get one and run it into the ground and forget about the residuals.
This is definately the best safe car. I am convinced having just been hit head on and had mine totalled. I went out and bought a 2008 replacement (although I liked my 1st one better!). Had I been in my old car I don't think I would have lived through the crash or if I had I would have suffered much more severe injuries. Still recovering, but very thankful I was in this car!
We Canadians (as well as most of the rest of the world that has the Sportage) have it right. They pronounce it wrong in the States because some people there 'don't like all dem foreign words'.

How do you pronounce it? You Americans call it Sportage (Spor-TIGE), but we Canadians call it Sportage (Spor-TAHGE). I like our way better! ;-p
