The Kia Sportage is based off the Hyundai Tuscon frame... I just poked my nose into a friend's parents Kia and it looks darn near the same, even the same trim style inside.

I have a Hyundai Santa Fe (slightly bigger) and love it. It's AWD. The back is big enough that I can put the road or mountain bike in it laying flat without having to take a wheel off. If you only fold down one side of the rear seat, my road bike will lean up against the seat just fine which gives more room for other stuff. With a couple of Saris Traps and a 2x4 you can put two or more in the back with the front tires off.

It gets pretty good mileage. If I set the cruise at 65 on the highway it'll show 26.5 avg. Of course that goes down if you go faster...
