Hi Folks
We are currently saving up for a Honda CRV but happened past a Kia Sportage 
for sale yesterday so went back to test drive it today.
It had quite a few cosmetic issues with scrapes here and dings there but 
nothing a couple of hundred quid in the body shop wouldn't sort. It seemed 
like a real bargain at 1495 quid for an R reg and it already had the towbar 
fitted which is always a bonus! I've got to admit I wasn't exactly 
enthralled with the drive though and did think it might just be a bit too 
much of a lightweight for towing the van.
Anyone have any opinions or experience with this little forbie?
Many thanks

Gareth

I have a 2002 sportage.
Not the best car I've had, very little acceleration even without my van on 
the back. does tow well on the flat towing my lunar(1250kg).
