Wife's New 2022 Sportage
« on: August 13, 2021, 11:56:00 am »
So with our dog gone my wife no longer needed a big SUV and the Sorento was 5 years old  ;D. I wanted to get her a Mini Clubman but she didn't like them. Drove around to all the lots last weekend and it came down to a CX30 and the Sportage. In the end she liked the Sportage the best, so we picked up this 2022 Sprotage EX Premium S this morning.

Boss!
I test drove a Sportage last year when shopping for my Daughter. It had the turbo in it and I was impressed with the power it had. I think around 240 or so IRC.

I'm sure you got a smoking deal on that one.  As long as your wife is happy, who cares what vehicle she drives.  Congrats on your wife's new ride.

I actually like this gen of Sportage a lot. Great choice, as the upcoming model is a hot mess, based on the pictures I've seen. Congrats and happy motoring!

Only one weekend shopping for the wife's vehicle?

Yep, she is not a car person ... all the things that seem to matter to all of us on this form are meaningless to her, she likes what she likes and this was it.

Have to say I'm not fussed about another Kia, we owned the Sorento for 5 trouble free years and if anything had happened it would have been covered under warranty.

Congrats!

Buying a car over a weekend has to put this in the top 5 for fastest car purchases here. Well done.
