1999 Kia Sportage review from North America
"Don't buy one of these"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have nothing but trouble from this vehicle, and no one knows why including the dealership.
The hold light and the engine light goes off at least once a month, then a day or two later it just want start, then I have to have it jumped off. This last time it would not change gears until the next day.
It has been a peace of junk since I purchased it and I will never buy any other KIA.
