New here but not to Kia
Thanks!
I had a 2017 Hyundai Sonata which I absolutely loved but it started burning oil at 80k miles and I had the notorious 2.4l engine so I figured I would get rid of it before it got too bad. I searched a long time for a replacement that was as nice but no luck. Mazda 6 (it was too small), Honda accord (notorious 1.5l turbo), camry (you had to get the highest trim to get everything my Sonata had). I nearly gave up but my wife wandered over to the sportage (which I really wasn't looking at an suv) and we fell in love with it. I was a bit concerned with Korean engines however the 2.5l has multiport injection with the gdi which addresses the carbon issue). I only wish I picked up the trim that had the upgraded dash that I could change the look of my guages. Anyway, that's how I ended up with my sportage

wonder if you could expound on "the 2.5l has multiport injection with the gdi which addresses etc." just looking for hope in the future for my 2.5l and wondering do I need to keep with the premium gas and injector cleaning, PCV valve change outs, etc, etc reading about on here?Thanks!

Well the Sportage is definitely a nice upgrade and I'm confident it'll take good care of you for years to come. Yes, the Sonata gives a lot for the money. I've liked the car for the past several generations. But the Sportage has come a long way - and definitely a great vehicle...Thanks!
