I've owned this vehicle for two weeks now. I traded in a Hyundai Azera so I was looking for something that felt as comfortable and equally appointed. I wasn't disappointed with the Sportage SX Turbo. From the two tone leather treatment to the center stack this vehicle offers comfort and all of the gadgets that I like. Please don't come to the party expecting good gas mileage, I've owned Korean cars for over a decade now and they're all notorious for poor gas mileage. Accepting that from the start I can find little more to complain about. The turbo is fast and the pedal is responsive. It offers 3 driving modes and if you want to get pushed back in your seat, select sport mode. Handling is responsive and ride quality is good and quiet. I've not yet had the opportunity to see how the AWD handles itself in the snow but living in the NE, it won't be long. For me styling and comfort were two main concerns and this vehicle fits the bill. If you're looking for a vehicle that steps out from the lookalikes and blazes its own path, this vehicle is for you.
