2000 Kia Sportage 4 door review from North America
"A total piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to had the front brakes replaced three times. I now have to have 1200 in repairs on the car - the transmission fluid is burned, the sensors are bad, the spark plugs are bad, something with the throttle. Plus, the engine light comes on and off. Even when the oil is low, no lights come on. Care is seriously junk. I can't wait to get rid of it.
