2001 Kia Sportage 2-WD review from North America
"The worst car you could ever buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is the worst car I could have bought. It didn't come with A/C or radio, so I had the dealership install those and it took over 3 months in hot Florida weather! Also after about 6 months, a squeak started coming out of the motor and to this day they have no idea where it's coming from and have tried to fix it a total of 5 times in the past almost 2yrs.
General comments?
Never buy KIA; it has nothing, but problems! The car is a heap of crap and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
