2001 Kia Sportage EX review from North America
"It's alright for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing too serious until now. Just the usual stuff. But now the sub frame has broke right in half over the back right hand wheel. I think that this vehicle should be on a recall. I know of another recall through another company, the vehicle is older than mine. This is too serious to let them away with.
General comments?
I love my Kia. It could handle better in the wind. Now with a broken frame, it doesn't handle at all.
