I leased this car mid November of 2017, I shopped around and test drove a lot of vehicles. I chose the Sportage because it was the only vehicle with all the tech I wanted within my budget. The three must have features I was looking for were; Harman/Kardon sound, AWD, and ventilated seats. The Sportage has all of these plus some nice active safety features. I drove it and was quite impressed with the power and comfort of the vehicle. The interior fit and finish looked and felt better than some of the competitive brands (Honda and Toyota) I test drove. The ride is sporty and responsive. I was driving the car last night (January 4th, 2018) and the check engine light came on. This really disappointed me and I have lost some thrill for the car as it’s brand new and this shouldn’t be the case. We will see how the future pan out with the car. Major points lost for this and I did check the gas cap to see if I forgot to put it on proplerly. Gas cap was seated properly and I’m anxious to see what the dealership says.
