 While mechanically the Sportage is 
fairly sound, you'll run into all kinds 
of problems with the body paint, 
dashboard lights, windows, cup holders 
and just about everything on the 
vehicle, except the engine.
 You will also find almost no support 
from KIA dealerships. You'll also 
discover that KIA service people know 
little or nothing about this vehicle. 
Like other Sportage owners, my engine 
light has always stayed on. The service 
people have no idea why this is. (In my 
last trip to the garage, they did fix 
it, and the light went back on as I 
drove home!!!)
 The Sportage is also an unstable 
vehicle to drive in high winds. Tire 
quality is also very poor.
