2000 Kia Sportage review from North America
"A total lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I bought this car in April 2003, I've had to take it in for repairs four times for the same problem. All the gages stop working and the car loses power. The dealer couldn't figure out what was wrong with it! They finally told me the wiring harness needed to be replaced and would cost me $1,000!!! I will try to get rid of this car as soon as possible! I will never buy another KIA.
