Cars.com Reviews the 2008 Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage was once at the top of its class in both safety features and value, but its competitors quickly caught up, and now Kia is fighting just to stay above water. Can the Sportage overcome its overaccesorized exterior and questionable driver’s seat? Check out Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays’ expert review to find out.
The Sportage is still a better drive than the Equinox or Pontiac Torrent (especially the ones with the 3.4 Chinese boat-anchor), but otherwise it's ready for a redesign IMO.

How can anyone say the Kia Sportage is better than the Pontiac Torrent or Chevy Equinox? I test drove both the Sportage and the Torrent before making my decision and the Torrent wins hands down. The Sportage has no power, uncomfortable seats, rough shifting transmission and a horrible suspension system that offers a very rough and bumpy ride. I ended up parking it by the Pontiac Dealership while I checked out the Torrent, which I'm happy to say is sitting in my driveway now.
