    We decided on a 1.6 petrol Sportage 4 last time and would not choose it again.

    I guess everyone and their needs can be very different but here are my pros/cons

    <u>Pros</u>

    Plenty of room, really spacious inside

    Enjoy the high driving position

    Good size boot

    Quite a number of ‘extras’ included which came as standard. These would have been charged as additional add on in other SUVs

    <u>Cons</u>

    IMO the finish in the interior is quite cheap looking and feeling

    Leather seats throughout are uncomfortable

    Rather dull to drive, 1.6 feels underpowered

    Some of the included extras are really poor quality, eg rear reverse parking camera. In fact I think the cameras are poor full stop

    In built Kia Sat Nav is pants

    MPG is pretty awful, expensive to run

    After care Service from Kia has been awful but that might be dealer specific

    We have a manual transmission and the gear box is clunky, steering notchy

    Happy to answer any specific questions or queries you might have?
