All the reviews, either written or video spoke very highly of the Sportage, without any complaints. Even two or three reviewers ordered the car themselves. That’s what convinced me to look into the Sportage when I’d extended the Tarraco for 2 extra years. I did as much research as I could find, going not just on UK websites, but many other countries including Australia, South Africa and the USA. And like all car manufacturers, they was problems, but once you take into account the volume of Sportages sold since 2022 the percentage of defects is no better, or worse than any other car producer. Edmunds, which is the most renowned car reviewer in the USA, 5 days ago that the Sportage was there choice of best all round SUV, not small, medium or large, but all, the best SUV of 2024 for the second year running. Cars are what they are, just like humans, you’ll get the odd one or two wrong un’s in every batch!!
Now, my last five motors have been trouble free, and I don’t about odds, but I’m probably due a wrong un sooner rather than later:(
