4. Just bought a Sportage hybrid a few months ago

And couldn’t be happier. And it was to replace our Outback which was a big disappointment - I’d never buy another Subaru. My only complaint is that it’s sometimes a bit “grippy” as you’re driving which I think is because of the AWD, but I’ve had that with other cars just can’t get used to it. I would’ve bought a RAV4 but we already bought one for my daughter (and is great) so wanted something different. We pretty much bought the Sportage on KIAs reputation and looks of the car (asked my wife“can you see yourself driving that?”), no test drive. Overall, very smooth ride, very good acceleration, comfortable and roomy and quiet interior, and a bunch of safety features. It even nags me if the cars in front of me has pulled away and I’m slow to keep up.
