[ColumbiaFordKia]

Check out ColumbiaFordKia, we are the next big automotive review channel!!! From Sorento to Super-Duty, we have them all!!!

[99Ellynn]

Wish you could find a used one more afforadable. They all sell for 16-18k here and most have higher miles. Otherwise I would have one.

[21Sarabi]

@99Ellynn I know. You can get a new car for around that price..crazy.

[Lynxtpm]

The best engine for this Suv is the diesel one.

150hp and a lot of torque, even more than the V6.

Whats even better is that its fuel economy is better too.

[visionimagify]

I have this. Great car. I'm tall too. I was going to get the manual, but I'm just too tall to the drive it. So I got the automatic.

[Zapust]

my mother owns one.. I doubt every Sportage has the problem.. But my mothers water pump broke.. And the whole engine overheated.. its an -07 Kia and it broke in -09.. basically the whole engine needed a full rebuild.. Everything was changes except for the crankshaft and the pistons.. and the exhaust... and the airfilter.. Even the airmass sensor had to be replaced..

[itsTiLER]

it seriously has a cassette player?

[TheSmartdude11]

@itsTiLER ya so does the lexus es

[itsTiLER]

@TheSmartdude11 and the lexus es is an old persons car.

[TheSmartdude11]

@itsTiLER agreed ahhaha

[Zapust]

@itsTiLER CD + cassette..

[imbadandimback]

Forget this old timer Kia Sportage, the new one is already out so DON'T buy this version, your jaw is going to drop to the floor when your going to see it!

[tony13498012]

@imbadandimback who cares about the new one it is probroly going to break the bank to some people they think 40,000 for a fully loaded kia sportage they think its a bargon no this one is and even is low priced even when fully loaded

[ilovevsboy25]

Boo hoo van, your a mechanic your supposed to tackle the challenges that come your way!

[bombomb09]

It is a nice car. Compared to a few GM trucks I used to own.

[secordman]

Funny to hear how it's pronounced south of the border. It's sold in Canada as the Spor-TAHJ.

[vanseventy]

yeah! nice car!wrong,just got done working on a 98 and what a turd,i have been working on cars for over 35yrs and have never seen a more poorly designed car where they shove the motor in there and make it so hard to work on.changed 3 belts,unbelieveable,any older american car would have been a 15 min job,but this kia is rediculous.i would never buy one of these.we can thank the asians for making cars so hard to work on,no respect for a mechanic to work on! make the engine compartment bigger kia!

[kingeddy137]

@vanseventy a 98 sportage is not the same as a 2003 one so go get a life !!!

[gravelandgrain100]

I love my Sportage, it rides solid and I feel safe in it( live in Minnesota-today will be a good test as we are under a Blizzard warning).

I found it to be more affordable than other SUV's-and people can always find something they don't like in any car.

[rbu2m]

Nice little SUV. As any vehicles, it will last as long as you keep it with proper maintenance. I got my Sportage 9 year ago and it still running strong. Do your research and you'll be surprised the history of KIA Sportage.

[kiggiteee]

@rbu2m 9 years ago? So its a 2001?

Just wondering because my mum and I went looking for cars and we found a 2001 Kia Sportage that I fell in love with but upon reading the reviews (which are mostly bad) I'm not sure if I want it anymore.

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

@rbu2m totally agree! my 86 galant run for 23 years, and its still running somewhere by now...

[21Sarabi]

The one I got was cheap, for around 11,900, But was used 07. Crap no. Could have been the way he is taking care of it or the person before took care of it. But Kia Sportages are real nice suvs. When I look at prices now they are more expensive.

[jose9950]

im getting a 2009 white lx i cant wait

[oceaniatravel]

my friend bought one, it is a cheap piece of crap! Even my friend sold it and got a Tucson!!

[garagecrap]

So which one is better. Sportage or Hiundai Tucson. They seem so similiar.

[21Sarabi]

um Not the ones I have seen? But some could? They have the c.d. player.

[tahj677]

This vehicle comes with a cassette player? Are you serious?

[chita2u]

I have an 2009 Kia Sportage in Burgundy and I love it. I would not have bought anything else. And A good warranty also.

[Navy707]

Hey there.One question. How much your Kia Sportage consumes? Mine lasts like from 160-170 Km from Full to 1/4 Tank. I think its consuming a lot.How about yours?

[dylanluver93]

does it come in automatic instead of manual??

[doomtomb3]

I got this car in red. It's awesome!

[Navy707]

Guys can someone help me decide?

Mazda 3 2008 or Kia Sportage 2009. i like the kia for confort but i dont like the look. however mazda is not as confortable as the kia but has a better look.

[flykyte143]

the kia because its more reliable

[stopxthisxfall]

Mazda 3 by FAR.

[Navy707]

Umm no, Mazda 3 is nice but i preffer the Kia. more reliable,more confort and economical.Also got more features than the Mazda and i got mine for a nice price, cheaper than the mazda 3 and my kia is 2009.

[carguy2000]

The Kia Sportage is awsome

[Navy707]

yea man!  My father bought it for me and i have 2 months with it and without a problem.

[Tylmarande14]

Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage?

[eduardobellnar]

Kia Sportage is best

[musubi69]

I think the front end is ugly

[daveordiane]

I know 3 people with KIA Sportages and all 3 have had a lot of problems. Also when I get into my friends KIA I often hit my knee on their pointy/wide dashboard. The doors are wider than the actual space to get into the car, so even if the seat is back and you are careful you can still bash your knee on the pointy edge of the dashboard as it gets wider near the doors. Today my knee is black and blue and I should send KIA the doctors bill, after all it's their design flaw that hurt me.

[TheCoolfez]

uhhhhh

maybe you should watch where you were going?

Maybe I'll sue the them too if I ever get my hand caught in the door. They should design automatic anti hand jamming door senors.

[ashado19]

Really? I've had mine for 2 years and nothing has gone wrong.

[Tylmarande14]

u have a sportage is it better than hyundai's tucson?..

[beetleboi01]

ive had tons of issues i won't lie the only reason i put up with it is because i live in a city and don't need a car often and don't want something more expensive getting smashed on the streets its held up well having been hit several times

[flykyte143]

oh i guess if you put it like that but ive heard this cars quality is average and so is reliabilty like the explorer

[Les71Paul]

oh no, it's dave and his dashboard again...

two words become one: bull shit.

[mascoutdoorsguy]

What a wimp!!!!!!!!

[xtremerider2k8]

In my opinion...the problem is not the sportage but your knee and your brain! Have you own a sportage? I don't think so because your just making stupid comments about the sportage done to your knee. I suggest, don't drive a sportage bacause your knee is too long to hit the dashboard.

[666EDMON666]

i liked better the previous version

[eduardobellnar]

nice 4x4, very very nice, nice button ESC an 4WD lock, interior deluxe, 7/10 pts. safety and comfor 10/10, desing 6/10.

[ashado19]

There are uglier cars.

[mysteryman2580]

THIS CAR IS FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!
