Sporting stars rate Sportage

When you’re over two metres tall, like Joe, or just shy of two metres like me, finding a car to suit isn’t easy. Our vehicle has to be comfortable with plenty of leg room. I think I was pretty spoilt with my Kia Sportage which fits our needs perfectly.

"Kia’s commitment to safety really impressed us."

Joe and I are joining the parenthood ranks and the Sportage is a fantastic ’mummy wagon’. When you’ve got precious cargo like that on board, safety is your number one priority.

"Bobby and the team at Southland Vehicle Sales were awesome to deal with - he even showed me how to secure the baby seat properly!"

"In my role as a development officer for Netball Southland, I clock up some kilometres visiting schools throughout the region. The Kia is beautiful to drive, it sits on the road nicely and I’m really enjoying it - and there’s plenty of room for all my coaching gear and netballs in the back."

"Both Joe and I are techno buffs - we like to have a bit of technology around, especially our iPods. I got very excited when I spotted the iPod connection in the Kia - I just stick my iPod in and away we go - it’s fantastic."
