My Ride: 2009 Kia Sportage (HD)

[hehh543]

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 :)

[doomtomb3]

@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).

[hehh543]

@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?

[doomtomb3]

@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.

[hehh543]

@doomtomb3 Oh, ok. Well I am not on getting a vehicle any time soon. I was just curious. Thanks for answering all my questions!

[ladyyuna2000]

[ExtraTerrestrials]

[doomtomb3]

@ExtraTerrestrials Thanks bro! Toyota Highlanders and real nice vehicles.

[imbadandimback]

@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

[nobrechick]

I'm getting a Kia sportage and found your video. Loved it!! Now I'm even more excited to get it.. thanks!

[doomtomb3]

@nobrechick Great! I've had mine for about 7 months and I still love it!

[wareagle091]

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

[doomtomb3]

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.

[Beaverlolful]

Nice, how much does that run for? MPG? Now I want to detail my '02 Volvo S60 lol.

About 17,700 before taxes. EPA 18 city, 24 hwy. 4 cylinder gets 20 city, 26 hwy. A volvo? Nice man!

[firestormcomputers]

I get like 22 city and 32 tops on the highway. My car is a 5 cylinder, since Volvos are special lol.
