1999 Kia Sportage SX review from UK and Ireland
"A Bargain"
General comments?
This car is very reliable, even when it has had some serious off-road work. Apart from wear and tear of off-road traveling this car has been comfortable. The engine has good pulling power and even when loaded down it pulls well, especially in third gear. It sits four in comfort, five at a squeeze. It handles well, on and off road, but while the steering has no feel, it is light and responsive. The cabin is designed for use and not comfort, but it could be worse. A great all round car.
