i am a toyota person, but i leased this Sportage model, and guess what, the odometer cluster screen went out right on the 1st day. The gave me a loaner, but Kia has taken 3 weeks to figure out whether the issue is a harnesss or the odometer screen. It seems like the sensor that kills the screen when the outside temp gets too hot, keeps it off for a long time after cooling. Hopefully the new Rav doesnt have that issue

It's funny I have no intention of buying this thing but I still got excited to see the video come on my feed.

I'd like to see a review of the K5. Saw one in a parking lot and it looked really nice. It was definitely the top trim.

After a bunch of research and driving the competition we bought the 2026 Kia Sportage SX HEV hybrid and we're really impressed with it overall

Very nice content, as usual very honest and helpful. I’m looking forward that one day the technical review of the Outlander from Mitsubishi. Thank you.
