Hi midge, I’m really pleased with the sportage, coming from a tiguan I find the car very quiet and pretty smooth, also plenty of speed when you put your foot down in sports mode.
I’m averaging 40 to 44 mpg at the moment, mostly journeys of 30 miles or less, haven’t done a long trip yet. I haven’t felt the need to adapt the car in any way as the inbuilt tech is amazing, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the car when you eventually get it , hopefully not to much longer to wait.
