    Our 2012 Sportage is a good car with basic features. It has 100,000 kms on it so we will get a lot of driving pleasure out of it.

    Audi-esque 4-banger — I like the car and plan on keeping it for it few more years... or at least until I can afford the Lexus I want. It's a really nice looking car. If it drove like it looked, it would be unmatched. That's not to say the drivability is bad; it is about average. I really think you get much for what you pay for; though I would say Nissan tops Kia now in that department.

    Pros: Great looking car, lots of amenities, great bang for buck

    Cons: Smallish interior; large blind spots; needs more safety features
