1999 Kia Sportage review from North America
"Alright if you don't have to pay too much"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Would not start sometimes. Found the problem; one of the main relays under the hood went bad.
Front lockout hubs don't work; soft top is tearing at threads.
General comments?
Drives good, just not very powerful.
