I’m thinking of purchasing my wife a 2019 Kia Sportage and she commutes with our 3 year old and I would like my family to be in a vehicle that’s reliable. I would like to hear any personal experience in terms of reliability versus major issues with this particular year, make, and model. My goal is t…

Same old reply that is posted here . Pay a good independent shop to look the vehicle over for problems . It is a used vehicle so it may or not have the same problems as other people have had. You can go to the Carcomplaints web site but take most of the posts as the people who posted may have cau…

5/5 score at Consumer Reports, but who knows about the exact one you are buying. See above. 2 recalls to check are done. Trailer hitch and brake related.

Does your wife like the car and find it comfortable? Is it easy to get the car seat in and out and load the rear cargo area? Does it offer good visibility and do the seats fit her?

Right, totally agree that all of those are perfectly good reasons to get rid of a 3 year old car. But…I’d still have it inspected before signing the dotted line. Most folks don’t get rid of a 3 year old car. It’s unusual.

A Toyota or Honda suv will cost more and sell for more when you get rid of it. And might be more reliable. Why are you looking at Kia vs 7 other makes?
