2000 Kia Sportage review from North America
"It is a piece of junk, and I can't wait until I can afford to get something decent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4 wheel drive had to be replaced with hubs.
Starter.
CJ shaft and bolt.
Heater motor.
Rusting out.
General comments?
I thought this was going to be an enjoyable little car, but it has caused nothing but trouble and eaten up tons of money.
