2001 Kia Sportage 4x4 review from North America
"Good little SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a faulty starter wire and had to be towed when I first got it. It was fixed promptly. The motor on the rear right window went and was replaced under warranty, the car has had many alignments due to pulling to the left and it still has a slight pull. I was not charged for any of the alignments.
General comments?
I think this is a great little SUV for the money. I have had no serious problems and the warranty is exceptional.
