XS
Strength:
Strengths would have to be compact, sturdy. Good use of the rear split doors & luggage net. Goog seating arrangments and a good use of a fold down front passenger seat if you have a little office work to do on a long journey. There are compartments for verious nick nacks. Also have the advantage to lock all the doors fron the passenger seat can be handy when the little mights try to escape.
Weakness:
Does not do what it says it can do on the tin sort of speak. No folding mirrors. No computer. Not enough hidden compartments as the ones supplyed at crampy and unles you want to hold a bag of sweets in them as they are to small for anything else.
trying to make a discission on the Sorent or sportage had me stumped but I ended going for the sportage which I thought would be my answer to the hilly area where I live and beat the bad weather conditions we got in this country (Northern Ireland).

Strength:
Price and features. LX, basic model has all features needed. Power windows, locks, and remote outside mirror controls. 8-way adjustable seat is great! I like the manual controls that do not require electronics that often fail. The wife and sons like the rear window that raises without raising the tailgate. Very comfortable vehicle! 29mpg on the Interstate and 20mpg in the city.
Weakness:
None Great value. We used to take a Chevy Venture on vacations. The family prefers the new, smaller KIA. Comfortable, stylish, and affordable. Plenty of power for a 2.0L 4-cylinder. 29mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in town. Similar Products Used: 2003 Chevy Venture Warner Brothers edition and a 1994 Jeep Cherokee. |

Sportage EX I4 4X2
Strength:
Nice interior - good feel to drive
Weakness:
Not enough engine for the car - extremely poor engine performance. Purchased this car in Dec. 2006 and have had numerous problems accelerating. With the 2.0 DOHC engine, I would have expected more power. Shifting mostly occurs at 4,500 RPM's. Similar Products Used: Mitsubishi Galant |

Strength:
Compact and ok to get use to for a first time SUV driver.
Weakness:
Too long to wait for parts. Bad customer service. Basic accessories in the vehicle for a new vehicle. This was my first SUV and I didn't want to have something too big to get use to driving it. I am satisfied with it, but it has many basic accessories compared to other vehicles. I hit a deer head on and had to wait 8 weeks (in the winter time in central ny, where you want to have 4wd) for parts to come in b/c there isn't a local plant. |

Kia Sportage 2.0
Strength:
Its looks and body is strong
Weakness:
My rpm rams high but my automatic gear does not engage properly. Have to drive slowly on gear 2 for about 5 minutes before my gear 3 is engaged. I cannot find the right workshop to rectify. The authorised KIA workshop is worst then the other workshop. KIa must make sure that its workshop can help its consumers. Ride is good but from day l I encountered problems with the automatic windows. Only 1 is working now. Similar Products Used: Toyota Harrier |

Strength:
Young and attractive looks especially for people below 40's.
Weakness:
A lot of sensor in the engine compartment and costly to replace 4x4 car that can suits on road and off road conditions. Has enough power due to its DOHC 2.0 engine that works very well. Very popular in Malaysia because of its reasonable selling price. Similar Products Used: Mazda 626 |

Strength:
when engage in 4 wheel drive in the winter. It drove through the snow pretty good.
Weakness:
starts falling apart after 90 000 km. not a bad vehicle untill you get around 90000 km. Then you start paying through the nose. We paid for the extended warrenty, which we were told you get your money back if you don't use the warrenty. That was a lie, you pay $2450.00 to get store credit.
