2005 Kia Sportage EX review from North America
"The 2005 Sportage is a great car with lower than reported city gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A vacuum hose connector was reversed. It caused the engine to shift very erratically. Dealer fixed it in 5 minutes with no charge.
General comments?
This car handles very well.
The EX Luxury package is well worth it.
The heated leather seats are a real treat now that winter has arrived.
