2000 Kia Sportage S 4WD review from UK and Ireland
"A powerful, luxurious and good looking 4wd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that needs urgent attention, but it has a few little niggles :-
Noisy transfer box (4wd).
Rear hatch is difficult to shut.
General comments?
A powerful, reliable and good looking car, although it's only a base model it has electric windows, central locking and a 4 speaker stereo system.
The car is so comfortable you do not realise you are driving a 4x4.
Fuel consumption is average for a 2.0 twin cam, (30+45).
