2001 Kia Sportage review from North America
"Dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to get a new starter at 67,000 and a master cylinder. But the master cylinder was my own fault as the brake light was on for months and I didn't have it checked out.
General comments?
I love this car. I have had no problems with it other than normal maintenance. I plan to keep it for as long as it will run.
