Pros: What do you like about 2006 Kia Sportage?
I like everything about this SUV. It handles well, it's roomy, it's comfortable, any mechanic, including myself can work on it, you don't have to take it to a dealer or foreign car specialist, and anyone who tells you that is full of it!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Kia Sportage?
I like it fine just the way it is.
2006 Kia Sportage Review:

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Kia Sportage?
I like the look and the way it handles for an SUV.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Kia Sportage?
Do not like the fact that not just anyone can work on a KIA. Acts up occasionally like it's out of gas but a problem can't be found.
There is no way of changing lights or fuses without a owners manual.
The cruise very seldom works at all.
The plastic/vinyl interior scratches and mars very easily.
Would not buy another one at all!

2006 Kia Sportage Review:
I have 106422 ks and so far no problems, keeping my fingers crossed.
I like my 2006 better then the 09's or 10's - they don't have the same quality interior.

2006 Kia Sportage Review:
I traded in my Civic for this car about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I never thought that I would ever buy a Kia of any sort but started reading reviews for compact suvs and the Sportage was highly rated, so I gave it a shot and didn't even drive anything else. The car has a lot of power, but as with any 6 cylinder engine you loose some gas mileage.
