4.4out of 5 overall- 5.0
A QUALITY SURPRISE
by Dale on 6/15/2025 8:15:27 PM
After owning 7 Honda Accords in a row I bought a 2019 Kia Sportage. I have been surprised at the quality of construction of this model. Just open and close the hood. The weight of the medal andconstruction of the body is evident. I have read of complaints of the gas mileage. I have not found this to be true. I can easily turn 30 MPG at 80 MPH interstate speed )legal in South Dakota. Local driving usually turns 25 MPG. - 5.0
