 We have had our Sportage for two years 
now and it has been the longest two 
years ever in owning a vehicle. We've 
been trying to wait long enough to be 
able to recoup some of our money!(And 
probably won't) We have been very 
disappointed in the overall ride and 
performance of our Sportage. Every 
little bump, nook or cranny in the road 
is both felt and heard something 
fierce. And the gas mileage is 
absolutely horrible for such a compact 
vehicle with such a rough ride! Opening 
the tail gate is such a pain--you just 
don't want to even use it! Resale Value 
is terrible--should have everyone 
questioning whether they want to invest 
in the Sportage--It's Not Wise!
