Thanks Janis -looks well worth a closer examination.  It isn't the height so much as length and width that might be a problem with my garage and as we are not allowed to have cars parked on the road, it has to fit! :wacko:

I think there is a Kia dealer on an industrial estate in Ashford, where all the car dealerships seem to have premises, so i can probably see it there. 

I like the way the back seats fold down to leave a flat floor -same as my verso -it makes loading the cage and dogs so much easier, especially as Lily and Twiggy are getting on a bit. Polly won't travel any other way than in her crate.  My fault as I used it when she was a pup and now she won't go in any car without it. I have a soft one if we are going in anyone else's car, but she mumps and moans about it  :angry:

Are the seats fairly high and easy to get in and out of? Another thing I have to watch, with my physical limitations.

Thanks for the photo and links - I'm sure you'll all be so happy in your new vehicle!!

Looks lovely Janis - our friends have one and they love it - they had been changing cars every 6 months and were never happy with one until they got their sportage.

Happy motoring - have you got the sporty sunglasses to match so that you can pose? 8)

Thanks Janis.

They look easy to put in and take out, I'm not sure if they would hold a determined Supe, Star (yes honestly Star) and Leia at racing/lure coursing tho - (Supe has already managed to escape from a slightly open window and become a 'loose' dog)

I'll wait for a review of yours first 8) :thumbsup:
