They have built the 2005 Sportage to handle the roughest commute as well as the toughest rut-riddled dirt roads. Plus, they back it up with the Long Haul Warranty. That's how.
The price is amazing considering the Sportage is a true 130 horsepower SUV, with a 2.0-liter dual-overhead-cam engine. With generous ground clearance and double-wishbone front suspension it's your ticket to sport utility heaven.
Tough as a tank. And easier to park!
When you are looking for an SUV you're trying to get more out of life and yet simplify it at the same time. You want it to smoothly handle the daily grind in a world of brick, asphalt and right angles. But, when the weekend comes you want it to growl and cover the ground where there's no paving and no roads.
Fill'er Up
With more than 125 cubic feet of interior room, how much you get out of it or rather into it - is up to you. Tents? Skis? How about them fifty-five gallon drums of spaghetti sauce you picked up from the warehouse club? Bring 'em on.
You also get on-board engine diagnostic monitoring, power windows, mirrors and door locks, a theft-deterrent system and dual cupholder. No wonder the 2005 Sportage was named one of Four Wheeler magazine's "10 Best Buys in 4WD" for the fourth-time in five years.
So much standard stuff, it makes the word "extra" an endangered species.
