Dave you dont need a purist to run your show....ditch him off.

Alan Caldoza commented on 15 Oct 2015

+Everyman Driver: I've seen your video since last year. Even your gig with Nathan and Roman in FLCar, it seems you over-shine them. That show cannot run smooth with only Roman or Nathan only. It has to be the two of them. Just like forner Top Gear UKs Jeremy, James and Richard. But you, is like Fifth Gear's Tiff Neddele (check my spelling), who is capable to run the show solo. I dont want to add some tips as additional, whatever on your show. Just Keep it your way or whatever you want to do width your show.

They say it 20 MPG,but it's 15 MPG CITY/ 20 MPG HWY in the city. but it does improve as you go for sure.

Doug N. commented on 15 Jan 2014

What's your real world MPG?

coming99 commented on 30 Nov 2013

didn't the designer from Audi do all the new kias?

Meela234 commented on 05 Feb 2014

He designed the Sportage too. Actually, I think it was his first design for Kia.

Doug N. commented on 15 Jan 2014

His name is Schriver I think. He definitely did the new Optima and Forte. Not sure he designed the Sportage.

I hope Y'All keep putting out video's of family haulers that can go off road. Plus if its a family hauler someone can have a little bit of fun in, that's even better! We used to have a 2002 Pontiac Montana van. When we took the 3rd row seats out the wife's wheelchair fit in it pretty good. However the wife got it stuck a few times. Once I had to back it down over a small hill to a road below cause she got it stuck in the snow. We usually don't get much snow in Kentucky. When it does snow however the roads don't always get cleared good. Oh the reason we don't have the van anymore is the 3.4 engine blew. It did have somewhere around 220,000 on it when it blew though. On a side note to me the van was more practical than fun. I hope to get both sometime soon.

wtrdogg20 commented on 05 May 2013

Competes against the Murano?? How?? The Murano has NO OFF ROAD capabilities... They are not rivals at all... About the Rav4... well, Rav4 is not in a specific segment, but it is not a competitor for the Sorento or the Santa Fe, as they are bigger and offer more than the Rav4 that, even though, it is larger than a small crossover, it is still seen as a small crossover if it is compared with larger vehicles within the Crossover SUVs segment. I think a Sorento is way better option over the Rav4.

n777ua commented on 07 May 2013

Could it look any more like a Lexus RX on the front? Nice feature list, but Ill take a more complete package with better build quality, I.e. a used Audi Q5, or even an RX. Bland, forgettable, and characterless. South Koreans have always prided themselves on being fast followers', never innovators. That rings as true as ever with the Sorento

Thomas Flournoy commented on 14 May 2013

At 2:20, when they go through the water and act surprised, you can clearly see that there is just one person in the car. I love Romans videos, but i wish they weren't as scripted and cheesy. And its things like the puddle scene that make me mad, Roman could really pump out some great videos if he just was more natural!

n777ua commented on 07 May 2013

The rear is an obvious hodgepodge of an Audi (taillights), and Acura MDX (pillar). Front headlamps are obvious Volvo inspired. Most won't care, but you can't break into the first tier ranks of the car business by being a flagarant immitator, which is all Hyundai Group is, just like Samsung & LG are...

The Fast Lane Car commented on 06 May 2013

Most of them scratch their heads, give us look like we are bit crazy, and wonder what we're doing up on this trail in a brand new car. Some stop and offer to help us because they think that we are stuck...especially if we are parked filming the vehicle.

Edward Ryu commented on 05 May 2013

Japanese car was cheaper before like Korean cars. but as time went by it got quality, reputation. it is all the same for Korean car. nowadays, technology, development are very faster than 20 century. I think that you have no brain to think.

k3rrons commented on 06 May 2013

Guys, what kind of looks and comments do you get from the serious offroad guys, when they see you up the trail in some of these vehicles? Are they generally snide, or are they impressed that you made it up that far along the trail?

David Bartholomew commented on 30 Sep 2013

Too many brand snobs around. I used to think KIA stood for "Killed In Action". Pieces of crap on wheels. It's simply just not the case anymore. Brand snobbery makes people miss out on some good products.

95thRiflesOCI commented on 05 May 2013

Its a shame more and more crossovers are having less then 8 inches ground clearance and worse depart and approach angles. Some people want to drive in snow without hearing it rubbing the bottom.

Sudz commented on 07 May 2013

OK, yes, muddy water splashing from the front tires looks cool... the first. or second time... but I'm only half way through the 5th video and you've shown it 5 times... too much. lol.

nathan adlen commented on 05 May 2013

I like the CX-9 as it is the best three-row for the street. It looks sportier to me as well. The KIA is a great all-around compromise with a ton of standard equipment.

Rick Smooth commented on 29 Jun 2013

I don't think You have a brain at all just from from that statement you just made, you are a very arrogant person and need some brain therapy! over a car.

Alex Tahti commented on 05 May 2013

The problem with the KIA's and others is the cars have become much more expensive but all the lower surfaces are hard plastic. $35-$38 for hard plastic?

Stuka87 commented on 06 May 2013

Does it still have insane amounts of torque steer in FWD mode? Its the one thing I have really disliked about the Kia/Hyundai crossovers with their V6.

HanmagInc commented on 05 May 2013

Hey Roman & Nathan! Love the review! Howcome you guys never mention or review the post 2011 Dodge Journey? This Sorento is basically a Journey replica!

Bob Marley commented on 05 May 2013

I met Roman and the crew at Cars and Coffee up in Lafayette yesterday. Super nice guy, and great reviews. Thank you guys for all the great videos!

I agree with you about those thick 'A' posts but I suppose it all adds strength to the roll gage, my gripe is that and the combination of the door mirror placement.

The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist commented on 26 Jan 2015

It is quite a "beefy" car..

arfer commented on 17 Nov 2014

My Sportage 2.0 liter diesel here in Korea has lots of power and torque. 184bhp and 40nm (295lb foot) of torque......oh, sorry. That engine is not available in the USA. You guys don't like diesel for some reason.

MrKikoboy commented on 22 Dec 2014

well in summer I already get about 34MPG US in my Tucson for highway and the best I have ever had was 49 MPG in my little Kia Rio but I am probably a bit older and have had some fun already - more important to me now is getting to where I want to go without going into debt for fuel and having a decent ride on the way...but I live in snow country and that all goes to hell in the winter ( near 6 months here ) when you have to wait 15 min to get the ice defrosted off the windshield so every little bit helps...

arfer commented on 21 Dec 2014

+MrKikoboy It's unlikely you would get those figures in reality. I'm getting roughly 30 MPG US, but I've got a heavy right foot. You might get 35-40 MPG if you drive carefully.....but where's the fun in that!?

MrKikoboy commented on 21 Dec 2014

I would seriously consider the diesel as the published figures for it ( add 15% for BS ) state 5.2l/100 km or about 45 MPG US and that would certainly save you when gas goes back up in a year or so when they decide you have been lulled enough and want to shaft you again...

The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist commented on 14 Dec 2014

+MrKikoboy My thought is we Americans have no foresight . We live our lives like animals in a lot of cases. STIMULUS/RESPONSE. So, if gas prices go down, no one will put any thought into it to think that gas prices will likely go up in the future....

MrKikoboy commented on 14 Dec 2014

there's some talk about bringing the Sportage diesel to North America - I hope they do although now that gas is down the price of diesel has not dropped at all so seems like we will get shafted again if we want the option...

thopkins22 commented on 19 Nov 2014

+arfer Not really. There's a lot of diesel love in the US. But diesel doesn't make nearly as much sense with gasoline here being sold at moderately low prices.

arfer commented on 17 Nov 2014

+The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist ....and maybe a way out of date public prejudice against diesels?

The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist commented on 17 Nov 2014

At first, we were waiting for low sulphur fuels, but now I think we have them, so I think it is a combination of not enough fueling stations, and lack of availability..

kevolicious commented on 24 Aug 2014

Mark, you mention the acceleration was lacking on your LX model, I test drove the SX model with the turbo and there was plenty of acceleration plus some.

The Suburban Hippie Photographer commented on 24 Aug 2014

Kevolicious, I am afraid the SX was a little more than I wanted to spend. Also, I don't really like turbos. From my experience you have to really take care of turbo autos, and i am not known to take care of my cars. I beat the crap out of them.. The Suburban Hippie :)

Darky commented on 23 Jul 2014

+The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist Cool man. thanks for the reply. I test drove 1 for a day and a half and that's how I knew I would get annoyed with that, especially among a 4cyl. saying that this is just my experience and not to damper yours. Sportage is very nice and different. Enjoy the new tires!

The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist commented on 18 Nov 2015

+LaVerite124 Yeah, they inexplicably burn a lot of fuel! I can't understand why others can do a much better job.. Oh well, it isn't the worst care you can have. It does most things very well. I am about to put my first replacement tires on it. I chose Continental Extreme Contact. We will see how those work out!

LaVerite124 commented on 18 Nov 2015

+The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist That is what turned me away from the 2013 Sportage. can't believe it burns fuel like that. but for some reason, I'm looking at a 14. lol. But honestly I was hoping to "want " the Sportage again but I can't get past the fuel burn. and yes, Echo off is better. cool car but gas fuel ruins it.

The Suburban Hippie Experimentalist commented on 14 Dec 2014

+MrKikoboy I do like the styling better of my KIA, but the gas mileage does stink...

MrKikoboy commented on 14 Dec 2014

+Mark Daniel ImagingI think in the internal competition between Kia and Hyundai that Kia is edging ahead as far as features and design - if they could get their gas mileage down a bit I think they could overtake Hyundai easily...

The Suburban Hippie Photographer commented on 23 Jul 2014

Darky, I hope it works out for you! The longer I have this car, the more I decided it is a well engineered vehicle. There are numerous small touches that as I discover them I think "wow, that was well thought out"

jupitersj commented on 04 Aug 2011

@fanzappa ofcourse it is a different vehicle, I mentioned the type difference in my comment; why can you not compare vehicles and their cargo capacity? No one is offroading in a kia sportage with a car chassis though having awd would rock for winter. It seats the same amount of persons with the same dimension comfort and carries the same cu ft cargo; I don't see the practicality or it's purpose I guess. I'm sure it's worth the asking price design wise, I just don't see its value is what I mean.

skipskops commented on 12 Apr 2012

Real women have a mind of their own, and real women don't follow rules given by organised religions used to control the masses. Real women think beyond such menial ideas. Real women that are actually worthy of any time, require proof of existence, scientific fact, reason of living beyond praising a sky fairy for the rest of their life until they die. Real women aren't brainwashed idiots like yourself, who are SO stuck up they can't see the bigger picture. What god should this man follow? Zeus?

MsSweetPuppy commented on 12 Apr 2012

Real men honor God and real men don't talk like you. A real man is a man that loves and serves God, a man that doesn't curse, a man that doesn't have sex outside of marriage, that doesn't sin against God. A real man doesn't steal, look at porn or partake in worldly pleasures. A real man spends prayer time with God his maker, and a real man is a man that God makes. A real man honors God, honors women, and loves God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength. That's a real man.

skipskops commented on 13 Apr 2012

Bless. Owned to the point of running away. Silly little girl, must be hard getting away from being brainwashed as a little child. Never mind, thankfully my parents weren't as horrible as yours :) I was actually brought up never to look down on people, always stick up for what's right. You however, are a tool, and a bigot. One day your day will come, and your god won't be there for you. It's cruel really, your parents are nasty people.

Preston Spradlin commented on 11 Sep 2011

I love my '11 LX Sportage, love everything about it except I've gotten reports from people driving behind me that when I turn my turn signal on during the day, they didn't know and couldn't tell they were on because they are so low and away from the attractive taillights, so this could be a problem in the future... I may need to either get bright bright led's to replace them or have some higher ones installed :(

sawink commented on 13 Apr 2012

That goes for men as well who agree with the commenter below me. Thought this was about a review on a Korean SUV...as usual on here I stumbled into a moronic, unnecessary, out of place debate. I'd rather see the usual..."huh huh huh...who's the girl?". Somewhat inappropriate sex selling involved in this video. Just show me the car...I don't need to see close ups of tight jeans. (all though it doesn't hurt)

sawink commented on 13 Apr 2012

Furthermore, this review doesn't go into enough detail and should review the other options and models. I feel reviews are incomplete that omit this. Eh...not the most important thing to me...sorry I must go back to my religion that is centered around a purple dragon that pets you on the head if your good every alternating Wednesday. Don't ask about Tuesdays

skipskops commented on 11 Apr 2012

Real men honour god? Real men have a mind of their own, and do not follow like sheep in a field waiting for their shepherd. God doesn't come into the equation. Just read your comment and listen to yourself. No classy lady? Please, get off your high horse. Who put you on your pedestal to look down on people like that? Your sky fairy?

Nik Thavisone commented on 24 Jul 2012

Great review, very detailed and concise! It actually makes me consider one of these vehicles. It would be nice to see a follow up video to cover how this vehicle has faired against regular everyday use over a span of 2 years or so. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Preston Spradlin commented on 27 Dec 2011

I love my Kia Sportage! I got a red LX sportage and I got hated the "femine" base rims (not the ones in the video) We took it to Discount Tire and I got some nice 17" Black Chaos 5 rims put on it, it looks tough and wide after this transformation!

MsSweetPuppy commented on 24 Mar 2012

yep, nasty and filthy-minded. No classy lady would want anything to do with men like this. All they think about is themselves and themselves and themselves. Real men respect women and a real man honors God and respects women.

MsSweetPuppy commented on 13 Apr 2012

I've owned the same Hyundai, a Veracruz, since 2008. I believe I've gotten good value for money from it. No breakdowns/unscheduled maintenance visits in over 65k miles. An AWD system thats gotten my family through mud, snow, ice, and downpours with no problems. I've towed a pop-up camper from 1000 to over 9000 feet of elevation and never felt a lack of power nor unrefinement. None of the interior appointments have ripped or broken down, that includes the DVD player and sourround sound system.

TerryFilming commented on 07 Feb 2013

No, they're not. They're slowly increasing in prices. Why? Because that's how much they should be worth. Every single reviewer has said the car provides things you would only get by purchasing more options. Too many option pckgs? WTF? Clearly you haven't seen Mini's option booklet, which there are hundreds of options. Same with FIAT. Depreciate fast? It's becoming much better. Drive unrefined? The vehicles are first-birthers. Stop spreading your illogical nonsense about a great company.

arfer commented on 31 Aug 2013

Sportage owner for 2 years here. I've got the 2.0 diesel which has plenty of power and torque. The reviewer is right, the suspension is set pretty firm. Great for cornering, not so great for potholes. I also agree the steering gives a bit of a disconnected feeling. I'd like Kia to change that. I might also add that I find my driver seat a tad too firm. I'd like more foam and support on the seats. Maybe I'm just getting old!! Overall, I still think it's a great car, but not perfect.

KANGHI5KHAN123 commented on 08 Feb 2013

It's not about what's coming down the line, but what's available NOW. Other car companies will also have other cars coming out this year, and next year, and the year after that. You review what's available now, and compare it to the competition. Obviously, KIA falls short on this vehicle. So folks can either go to a different company, or wait around until KIA gets their act together.

GregoCatal commented on 07 Feb 2013

I rented the 2012 version of this CUV and I was mildly impressed with its ability to handle 8 luggages, 6 carry-ons, and 4 adults rather easily. The 8 luggages needed a bit of manipulating like Tetris to fit into the rather modest cargo space. But the ride was something else. If you're the driver, you won't feel the disconnect as the passengers would. It's a weird feeling CUV.

JDubbs07 commented on 07 Feb 2013

Kia's pricing is in line with the competition, as is its reliability. They're also more reliable than the German brands, which rarely perform well in reliability rankings. And their resale value is also competitive now. It's amazing how little people know about far this company has come. The Optima just won an international car of the year award at the Detroit auto show.

David Halifax commented on 07 Feb 2013

I totally agree. Although the Koreans are coming out with great products for the past few years, their pricing are also creeping up as well so now they cost just much as the Japanese and American rivals, even though I prefer the more compact dimension of the Sportage and Tucson, still the Kia name just doesn't speak luxury or refinement yet.

MNRick041 commented on 23 Mar 2013

I took a EX AWD on a drive yesterday, probably about a 3 mile test drive. It handled OK and the sound system is good but it is not a overly impressive vehicle. I wish they would make the turbo available in the EX as well instead of just the SX. I want the extra power but do not really care about all the other stuff that comes with a SX.

Wasr Fan commented on 28 Feb 2013

Our 2013 LX which we bought brand new late last year and now with about 7200 miles is the best CUV we had... very stylish, efficient and reliable. The ride is kinda stiff but turning at high speed compensates its "stiffness". With its 5/10 year warranty... its all worth the investment.

Andy R commented on 07 Feb 2013

People learn your facts before you comment. KIA has become a lot more reliable. Every car company has issues with their vehicles. Yes the ride is a bit stiff but with the refresh that's coming later this year I'm sure KIA is going to address that an many more issues.

shafta99 commented on 07 Feb 2013

kia is known for giving a lot of car for the money and great warranty. however, now that they are priced comparable to the big boys they need to step up the suspension refinement and engine offerings, nice but too many downsides at this price.

MalakYahawadah commented on 17 Sep 2014

I keep reading reviews on these things with users saying that its's pretty damn unreliable, there's a couple on Edmunds that said this car left them on the side of the road. That sucks, because I love the look of the sportage.

walkthepark commented on 09 Feb 2013

was in the market for a new cuv. this was high on my list because of its style and value but after driving it i was turned off by its lackluster driving dynamics. it is a toss up between the crv and the cx5 for me.

DoubleD 613 commented on 07 Feb 2013

Kia/hyundai are getting waayyy to pricey and have too many option packages. They also have very cheap plastics on the interior. They also depreciate fast and drive unrefined

bmwmsport11 commented on 08 Feb 2013

I don't care how reliable a Kia is. Not going to spend over $25,000 on one, even though my favorite model is the Optima SX-L which happens to be $33k.

TheK24Kyle commented on 07 Feb 2013
