1999 Kia Sportage 2wd review from North America
"I think it is great for the price I paid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to have the Struts replaced at 55000 miles. Now at 85000 going bad once more.
Other than this everything is OK.
General comments?
It runs great and is fast.
Lots of room.
