1999 Kia Sportage review from North America
"Wonderful vehicle for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuse for the automatic windows goes out if two people are trying to operate the same window at the same time. I just keep extra ones in the glove compartment.
General comments?
This little Kia Sportage is a terrific vehicle. Very reliable, no need, as of yet, for the 100,000 mile warranty. However the 100K warranty was a big selling point. Who needs expensive car repair bills. I got the no deductible warranty that is available for extra $ 280.00. The dealer does not tell you about the "no deductable warranty" Be sure to ask about it before signing the final papers. Would that everyth ing else in my life was as trouble free as this car.
