The maintenance cost is uncertain after the vehicle's warranty and that's what scares me. So, 3-4 years is my safe choice.

Same here. You'll get better value from the end buyer. I sold my Kia Sportage 2012 for 52K last year and even the dealer told me that I was lucky to have it sold at that price.

Kia has this European feel but at an affordable level without sacrificing the features and extras. I was a bit skeptical at first because we had a Kia that we bought as brand new several years back but it failed after a year of using it. Some bad service, quality issues and other hearsays to add. But now, so far so good when I switched back to Kia. It has improved dramatically in several areas. Design is quite impressive. Sturdy ride and it feels safe. Not the best but I can rate the vehicle higher than some leading car brands out there. All thanks to Peter Schreyer.

Right here! Just for the sake of replying.

To be honest, I do research on my own for getting aftermarket accessories for my Kia Sportage 'coz I find it really here too expensive in UAE, especially from the dealer themselves.

It has increased as far as I know. Last time I checked it was 72K. Last year, the 2011 base model was selling only for 62K.

It's Do-It-Yourself and direct fit.

Has anyone here changed their factory light bulbs to XENON? Is it a direct replacement bulb or HID Kit type?

Hello fellow Sportage owners! Feel free to share or post your Sportage pics here. Any year or model.

I bought mine from here, http://www.paintscratch.com/ It's from U.S. and they do deliver here in U.A.E.

Never bought from here since I got my Sportage this year. I normally buy from Korea, China, Malaysia and sometimes from U.S.
