1999 Kia Sportage EX review from Puerto Rico
"I love my KIA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension bushings wore out after 60,000 miles in Puerto Rican roads. Not bad at all, considering the condition of the roads here.
General comments?
This is my second KIA Sportage. I first had a 1995 model, and had such a good experience with it that I bought a second one in 1999. I have decided that my next vehicle will be a KIA as well.
KIA vehicles are a good value.
