I'll be a teenage driver in a year or two... Would it be easy for a teen to drive/have one of these? But the crash test results and acceleration are not so good... the V6 takes at least 10 seconds from 0-60mph. Thanks! Good video too :)
@hehh543 I got this car almost 2 years ago before my twentieth birthday. Let's see... I think it's good for a teen. The V6 ain't that quick in this one but it's a good car for the money. I mean you don't want a teen to have a supercharged Lamborghini do you? I would crash that car faster than I could empty the tank. I think having the storage and room for 4/5 in a small SUV like this is invaluable. I also wouldn't worry too much about the crash test unless you manage to flip (won't happen; ESC).
@doomtomb3 I see your point about having a big engine. Even a 4 cylinder will be fine.. I DON'T wanna wreck. And I do like the standard ESC, but other reviews on here complain on gas mileage.. Is it really that bad? Even for FWD?
@hehh543 Gas mileage is not the reason someone should buy this car or ANY SUV for that matter. With the V6 driving freeways and lots of stoplights, pretty normal driving, I get 20 MPG. With a 4 cylinder, you can add 2 MPG. If you drive slower than me (I drive kinda fast), add 1-2 MPG.
@nobrechick Hope you didn't buy yours yet because the new one is revealed in the NY Auto Show, and thankfully my country happens to be the #1 market for it, they are already rolling the streets, not just this Kia but mostly all Kia's
@doomtomb3 hope the resell value of your car doesn't drop that much, because trust me you'll throw your old sportage for the brand new one
is the sound system good? Does the back seat have a seatbelt that hangs from the top of the sportage? I am in college and is thinking about buying one of these
The sound system is really good for a stock system. Gets loud and sounds clear. The backseat has 3 seat belts, I think the middle one is an over the chest kind too.
