I am planning on buying a kia sportage?

I am planning on buying a New KIA SPORTAGE not this next year but the one after. I test drove one earlier this year and loved how it drove and ran on the highway. It was smooth and accelerated perfectly, breaking was smooth also and I know its number 1 safety rated.

So I am wondering why I see all these bad reviews about it what the hell am I missing are people just buying used and not making sure it runs right or just not taking care of it the way it should be. Even my manager has an older version and it runs perfectly he has never had any complaints. So what am I missing??

And what do you think about the sportage

1 safety rating? Cars.com says differently - they say it has just so-so crash-test ratings.
