it's just a good car

>>28954669
what does it do that 95% of other cars could not do?

>>28954670
well, I use the center diff lock a bunch, basically just flip it on for any dirt road or low speed driving in rain/snow and it keeps the rear wheels hooked up which is nice
and it drives itself on the highway while letting you have your hands in your lap as long as you tug on it periodically
I think the newer ones have a capacitative sensor instead that MAKES you keep hands on wheel at all times but I don't know for sure what the settings are for that newer tech
it has skid plates (I think equinox/terrain twins offer skids in the AT4 trim, and subaru has them on some models, but not 100% sure)
I flip on the 360 camera when pulling out of tight spaces or for 3 point turns and it actually will turn on on its own at low speeds on steep ramps and if it detects an obstacle
koreans put a lot of effort into the programming of their software and it shows
the safety features are useful and not overly intrusive
I do dream I had a turbo but this is probably more reliable, could use 20 more hp for passing though

>center diff
>adaptive cruise control

>safety features (guessing you mean lane keeping, auto braking, etc.)
half of this stuff is federally mandated equipment that's in every single car being produced today

>>28954670
Break down within the warranty period

>>28954676
lol none of that is federally mandated
and you can have adaptive crooz that doesn't steer itself or let you drive hands free without making you stare at the road (my car doesn't have a compliance camera thank god)

>>28954675
Sounds like a real piece of shit.
I'm struggling to imagine a car that can't traverse that road even when mildly moist.
Driver aids are AIDS.
Cool pic, but none of that is remotely impressive. It sounds like any cheap modern car, but with a center diff lock up to 25mph. It sounds like any normal modern shitbox.

the worst part was where it was muddy and there were ruts
I guess I now grasp how gravel roads are better than pure dirt ones if it rains
I have AT tires but I think you need RT/MT tires if you deal regularly in thick mud.
The interior is much nicer than a Toyota, and it has more feature content than a Honda. Hondas are much more basic. Nissan has a nicer interior, but the software and platform are both ancient.

>The Kia Sportage actually had a transfer case in 1995
What went wrong?

>>28954718
when do you use your transfer case?
also they did a review for uk car magazine of every gen of sportage, and the first one was apparently quite awful to drive

>>28954675
Meanwhile I can take my truck in 4H or 4L to redline in any gear and it doesn't care.

>>28954741
I'm kind of surprised that it will hold to redline in manual mode or even in automatic if you floor it, I have it in "smart" mode and it does learn to hold lower gears with time
tbqh it needs more torque, low end, not a transfer case, would be nice with a diesel

>>28954744
My truck doesn't get to choose what gear it's in. I could start out in 3rd if I wanted to feather the clutch enough. Plus it would bounce off the rev limiter all day if I kept my foot down.

>>28954749
I'm thankful to drive an automatic, but, realistically, any car is a manual on rough/winding roads if you don't have gobs of torque because you have to keep it in the power band and the auto programming tries to shift it into top gear even at 50 mph

I bet my Kia has a way smoother ride and better handling than your trugg
its perfectly competent, just numb

>>28954753
Imagine being proud of owning an autotragic. What a retarded thread.

>>28954763
so you shouldn't be proud of owning a bugatti?

>>28954763
honestly I wish the transmission programming were better
there's so little torque from an NA 4-banger that you have to shift it manually on all but the straightest, flattest roads, and I do a lot of driving in the mountains so I feel other cars in the same price range would be equally shitty, but wonderful to be able to set it and forget it otherwise and not have to use my fucking foot to shift

I broke my left leg last winter. I would have been stranded if I had to modulate a clutch pedal.

>>28954675
>it has skid plates
Since those aren't stock, which brand of skid plates did you get?
Or are you the same idiot that keeps coming back here to pretend his decorative bumper is magically a skid plate?

>>28954632
Begone shill

>>28954771
put it in "sport" mode when it wants to lug the engine

>>28954793
its not a decorative bumper if you go to the website and look up the x-pro prestige trim it mentions skid plates and if you go to the "we tested the sportage x-pro off road" video on youtube you can see them when the camera shows under the vehicle

looks nice

>>28954949
>its not a decorative bumper if you go to the website and look up the x-pro prestige trim it mentions skid plates
You mean the "front and rear skid plates" which is a fancy way to say decorative bumper?
Also, the video you mention but did not bother posting a link to just shows a car doing car stuff. Oh no, a dirt road. So technical. Such cliffhanger. Only at one point can you get a quick glimpse at the underside which is missing any sort of protective plate. You'd know this if you watched it.

>>28955994
they are not decorative

>>28956314
>they are not decorative
I agree with your sense of style, those decorative bumpers do not accentuate the looks of that car. However, they also don't protect the oil pan, transmission, or gas tank since they are just front and rear bumpers. Actual skid plates cover more than what the bumper already covers.

>>28956403
I fucked up the oil pan on my last car (on rough roads), and specifically got a car with skids to avoid that happening again. I guess if I don't fuck up the differential, steering rack, oil pan, or other parts with this one, I win and you have to retract your claims?
I made a point of looking under the car to make sure it was skidded out before getting it.

>>28956407
>and specifically got a car with skids
What brand? Because they aren't stock. Look under the car you supposedly own.

>>28954632
I don't want to stir shit with you personally, but this car has one of the worst fucking windshields I've ever encountered.
It's so thin that it's nearly impossible to keep it clear on a highway during winter.
It'll freeze up while you drive, even with the heater on full blast.
Ridiculous.

>>28956490
havent had this issue + my car has wires in the windshield so it cannot ice up
i drove it in a blizzard and the sensors fucked up and it wouldn't let me use cruise control at all, but i could still see out the windshield. I have had cars where it felt like the windshields fogged up all the time and this doesn't do that.

>>28956495
