Maintenance on Matte colors?

What's your experience with the matte colors? I really like them but I'm getting a lease, so thinking a matte color would not be good for knicks and scratch repair?

Thoughts on the X-Line?

Hello everyone! I’ve been on a vehicle hunt for a month now, looking to trade in my Hyundai Tucson for something with better mpg and lower monthly payment. I’ve been strictly looking at the hybrid version of the Tucson but I stumbled upon this sportage and now I’m in love with it lol

However, my parents are telling me not to get it because KIAs are easily stolen and because it’s cheaply made. Are these claims factual? Is there anything I need to be aware of about this particular vehicle that a sales associate may not tell me?

Also if it’s allowed I’d love to see your x-lines in the comments!! The terracotta interior has me in a chokehold! 😂

Thank you!

New owner of 2023 SX HEV

I've been driving Subarus for the past 10 years. Hopefully this one will be reliable too. And as I live in Quebec with harsh winter, I can't wait to see how to AWD is working. I don't expect to be as fun as Subaru in snow, but we'll see !

2026 Sportage Hybrid - 38.8 mpg for 1,000 miles

I'm sharing my mileage for a run of 1,000 miles. These are miles 2,700 to 3,700 on the Sportage I almost always use the paddle to increase regenerative breaking, and is a mix of surface streets and freeway.

While the vehicle says 38.8 mpg, my real world tracking puts it more around 36.5 mpg.

Sorry for the bad pic
