2000 Kia Sportage review from North America

This is a great little truck, I have had no problems with my KIA Sportage convertible.

KIA Sportage Convertible 2000.

I researched the 2000 Sportage, which is the truck I have. I could not find any complaints at the time. Mine is a convertible. I felt blessed to have found this little truck.

I purchased my KIA second hand for $3,000.00. The previous owner never had any problems. He told me it would need some new tires. I replaced the tires at 68,000 miles.

I am ready to replace the brake pads, at 90,000, for the first time.

While it is true that “get up and zoom” is not one of its assets, it is dependable, has plenty of room for my two large dogs (150lb each) and has never failed to start and run well.

I read the complaints about the cup holders. While they are not in the standard location, which takes the brain a little time to adjust, I think it is a great idea. They are centralized, you can reach over for your drink and not take your eyes off the road (a great safety feature).

I have never had any problems with the electrical system, windshield wipers, radio, spare tire assembly, rust, battery, etc.

I wonder about the dealerships where the lemons were purchased and which factory built those particular Kias.

This is a great little truck. I get great comments on it all the time and have had several offers for purchase.
