2000 Kia Sportage EX review from North America
"It is no good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have own my Kia Sportage since new. And in the last 3 years the engine light keeps coming on. And when I take it to the dealer, they fix it and the next day or so it comes back on. And now at 94000 miles on it, it keeps blowing a fuse that runs almost every thing on the car, from my tran to the dummy lights and gas and temp. And I don't have any warranty on it any more. And I have 2 more years left on payment for the car too. It is not worth it to buy anything from KIA. I have been on the phone with them and email them too and nothing works. So if you can pay a little more for a car or van, buy it and not a KIA.
