Drove to Ottawa from Toronto on my Sportage via 401 this weekend.... for 4 hours! But half of the trip, we were in cruise control wohoo! What a pleasure to drive this thing!
I had a Kia Amanti, and it was a great car. When the warranty was finally going to expire, I took it in, and they replaced everything they could under it that needed it. A couple of radio nobs, both visors and a few other cosmetic things. The vehicle had 0 problems other than a break light button jnder the break that helps to engage the ceuise control. That was also replaced with no issue. Just did reg maintenance. Full synthetic oil every 3500 to 4000 miles. Brake changes. Tires. And an alternator swap at 13 yrs old (lasted way longer than most). Really wish they still had a vehicle like that, perhaps a renamed Cadenza will return? All in all, it was a great experience.
Hi Gabby and Charlotte love your presentation of all your videos very candid…. I just wanted to enquire if you could do a video on the “KIA STINGRAY” would that be possible? It’s one of the best Sports Sedan’s KIA has to offer….
I'll say it because it was the first I noticed in the corner of my eye on the UA-cam feed, Gabby, the hair colour is awesome 😮 first time doing that one? The trim around your face ❤
By chance, does kia have an email address for recommending feature enhancements to their car for the next update? I have a Sportage and love it, but there are certain trivial items that annoy me. IE: the door auto-lock feature. I'd love to be able to disable that.
I have a 2023 Sportage EX. I averaged 5.6-6.6 L/100kms on the highway while using Adaptive Cruise Control. Going 110-113 kms per hr. Kia Specs are 7.1-7.3,L /100kms .. So if you drive with cruise and don't speed, you can achieve v good fuel economy for a non hybrid model.
I'm going to cry if the EX hybrid trims of Sportage models after 2023 will have sunroofs. 😢 Also, don't keep those key fobs in the same pocket as your cellphone! Gave me a quick scare yesterday in the parking lot haha
Hello Again pretties I do really love my Sportage and since I am being to the electronic parking thing I want to ask about the right way to park the car and which steps are the right press on the brake paddle then put the gear on N then Press the electronic park button then put the gear on P or all I just need to do is press on the brake paddle then put the car on N then but the gear on Park?
Has Hyundai/Kia solved the engine issues that the Theta II had? Those burned a lot of oil and had numerous engine failures. I haven't seen much of any reviews or issues with the new Smart Stream engines on YT. Does this mean the new engines are good?
however, the problem isn't from the camera! they have mentioned many times that an unstable network is the main problem that they face during livestreams - and yes! they are aware of that & are still working on it to improve the quality!
Thanks Sam, Yes our camera is fine, our network however could be improved. Based off where we’re located we do not currently have access to fibre optic internet which would fix our quality issue.

I purchased 2024 Kia Sportage EX color glacier white pearl. I’ve had it for two days and I think it’s great.

I’m seriously considering one. I haven’t made a final decision yet. Good review!
Another great video, I couldn’t watch live but I always watch later and most importantly hit the like button

Hey! Thank you! I haven’t had my hair dyed in half a year, i guess it’s just starting to get sun bleached haha
@@BrantfordKia did you trim any hair from the front or just the colour starting to show 🤔
Gabby is the #1 reason I watch these videos. ☺️ 😂
I never miss an episode and I hate Hyundai and Kai's
Just want to say, you ladies do a terrific job.
From manila Philippines thank you guys thank you

That’s great… where is my phev in grey with red interior?? I’m waiting since oct 2022
Which trim starts getting the 360 camera?
Does anyone ever do reviews on the most common trim level?
This is the most common trim level
Can you do the comparison video of Sorento X-Line Limited Vs Sorento PHEV SX?

My next Vehicle ❤
It’s a great pick!
Kia is good for me in my experience.
In Ontario does all Kia cars come with block heaters? I noticed there was one on this Sportage EX.
Best rear layout!
I missed live 😭
We hope to see you in our next one!
@@BrantfordKia okay 🫂😇

What happened when you put them together?
@@darkghost4597 Key fob stopped wotking for a while.
Does the sportage 2024 have the lines built into the front windshield that help to defrost ice?
Yes, the heated windshield is featured on the EX trim level and above!

Charlotte I wanted to ask where you get your pants from so sleek. 😊
I would buy one in a heartbeat, except for the ridiculously wide center console - KIA, that's where my leg goes!

Is it worth it to wait for 2025 model?
In Canada the 2025 model is unchanged. So no not exactly.
@@BrantfordKia thank you
@@BrantfordKia iam in oakville, do you have a location close by?
We’re located in Brantford, ON! So not far from Oakville!
wow how nice you guys
Helo Gabi! Are you brazilian?
Hi, my family is from the azores, Portugal!
you need to invest in a better quality camera
however, the problem isn't from the camera! they have mentioned many times that an unstable network is the main problem that they face during livestreams - and yes! they are aware of that & are still working on it to improve the quality!
Thanks Sam, Yes our camera is fine, our network however could be improved. Based off where we’re located we do not currently have access to fibre optic internet which would fix our quality issue.
What, no taco holder?
Nice
Thanks
Two babes ❤😅
Charlotte you’re beautiful ❤
KIA makes okay cars but they have a bad reputation for not honoring warranties and stone walling customer complaints. 1.12 rating with the BBB.

Most cars got a make over during 22/23 seasons
You are beautiful gabi 😘😍
I can’t concentrate on the car
Sportaaaaaage. If you don’t know the name of the car why would I trust your review. 🤷
It’s pronounced this way in Canada (and most countries outside of the states)
Whatcha gon' do with all that junk
All that junk inside your trunk? 😜🤪 IYKYK
