Thinking about getting 2011 sportage sx turbo(usa). Anyone had any major issues with it? Always here horror stories about kia's, and how bad it is the get them to fix problems under the warnty. Also am 6'6ft and was wondering how the head room is..


thanks all

im 6'2" and am looking to buy my SX this week. i have test driven and sat in it plenty. I dont have too much issue getting in and out...only hit my head the 1st time getting OUT.
get in i have no issue.
you gotta get the seat just right and you are good to go.
mechanically i think Kia has really made a leap in improvements and they wont have issues

6'6" here, and just got my SX with sunroof. The ceiling is actually pretty high in these compared to other cars I have owned. I have probably 2" clearance in case I ever decide to have big 80's rock band hair.

Just picked it up Saturday so cannot comment on your other questions but I did just get a call from the sales manager a few minutes ago wanting to make sure I am happy and everything is good.

Only one way to find out. Test Drive both and see which one suits you, its not until you get in one whether you will like it or not. ;)

The driver's seat goes down pretty low. It's very car-like at its lowest setting. Also, at least with the Panoramic sunroof option, the Sportage sunroof goes up and over the roof, not into the ceiling, so I don't think it costs you any headroom.

The obviously solution is to testdrive, but be prepared to fall in love

I like the seat in the lowest setting too. But when I drive to the atm, I go to the highest setting to get at the buttons of the atm so my arm doesnt hurt from reaching.:D
