2010 Kia Sportage Review
The 2010 Kia Sportage is a good little crossover SUV.
The Sportage's long-standing midpack status dates all the way back to the model's U.S. introduction in 1995, when it broke new ground as one of the first truly compact sport-utility vehicles. Unfortunately, that original version was also rather crude, and it was quickly eclipsed by more refined entries from Honda and Toyota.
Kia went back to the drawing board and rolled out an all-new Sportage in 2004.

Built on a more carlike unibody platform, this second-generation Sportage was a dramatic improvement over the previous version.
There is one area where the Kia Sportage does manage to one-up its competitors, however, and that's the value proposition it offers.
Compare its list of standard features with the Honda and Toyota, then take a look at their respective MSRPs and you'll discover that buying the Sportage can save you thousands of dollars. Figure in Kia's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and this Korean crossover begins to look even better. As such, the Sportage is best suited for buyers whose first concern is finding a relative bargain.
