A very wide model range, unfortunately mostly based on 1980s models by other makers, and with the possible exception of the Sportage, all awful. Teeth grittingly dull transport for people who want to get from A to B and nothing more.
Not everyone wants to,or can even afford to, go posing around in a �20.000 Subaru.
Most people do just want to get from A to B with a modicum of comfort at a price they can afford.
Earlier Kias were based on Mazda designs in the same way that Daewoo are based on older GM models but having said that, the Impreza is hardly a modern design (about 15 years old)
The clue to why I keep referring to Subarus is in the name `Impret-Sir' A bit of a give-away surely.As regards a Scooby, the only one I know had Doo as his second name.
Personally, I drive a Mazda, so I do not take your comments to heart unlike you.
As regards the other contributors comment, surely all eight Kia models don`t have boots the size of a glove-box.
Tartanwiz..... Viewing the thread - I'm not about to get into name calling etc. but I assume you were looking for an informed answer to a sensible question. I own 3 vehicles myself (not Kia's). My wife has a Kia Sportage (owned for 4 years). I have an engineering background (aviation). I service the vehicle myself. I drive it occasionally.
The engine is Mazda - well proven, reliable and reasonably economical in light of the vehicle size and use it is put to.
It is economical to maintain and has proved very reliable in service. It is without doubt robust and versatile. Kia's are cheap to buy both new and used. I would certainly recommend the Sportage - and the smaller vehicles if it is anything to go on.
