2000 Kia Sportage ex review from North America
"Will buy another sportage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First the front CV joints went out at about 27,000 miles, But that was covered under warranty.
Just general problems sense then like new muffler and tail pipe at about 98,000 miles.
Now the auto locking hubs quit working so I'm putting in Warn manual locking hubs.
General comments?
This is the first new car I bought new. And believe me I put it through the hell and it all was got me out.
Its been rolled and flipped back over on its wheels and started right up.
My mechanic tells me when I'm done with he will take it. They made this one right.
