1999 Kia Sportage review from North America
"A true waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine stalls.
Windows do not roll down properly.
Rear hatch does not stay up.
Muffler is frequently replaced.
Air conditioner leaks.
Driver side heats up near gas tank.
Transmission problems.
Seats are wearing out.
Does not accelerate well.
General comments?
Do not jump out in front of another car; you will not get anywhere.
However it is a good running car, once you get it started.
