2001 Kia Sportage review from North America
"Over all it's a good car except for it being to light"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I never realised how light the Kia is. If there are any winds above 15 to 20 miles per hour the 4x4 is all over the place.
Have to say it's great in snow and ice. I did not get stuck even once this winter.
General comments?
If you want a fast start it will not happen. It takes awhile to get into gear.
