#31 of 695 LEMON SPORTAGE by kia_lemon Nov 16, 2003 (6:47 pm)
Just lemon lawed my 02 Sportage. 6 times the breaks have failed. 2 master cylinders and 6 set of rotors and pads. Glad to be out of this POS.

Every model has its share of lemons. Every single one. A brand cannot be characterized by a single person's experience!

Any more info on this car, or is Kia taking the Honda route? Holding all info until the last minute?
#34 of 695 jchan2-there's really nothing new on the new Kia by iluvmysephia1 Nov 22, 2003 (5:08 pm)
Sportage(possibly another name!!) under development to report on. I did read recently that Kia will export it to the U.S.in 2004 sometime, look for it in the spring or early summer of 2004. It will be sold as a 2005 model.It will be FWD with a unitized body s/as the Hyundai Elantra and AWD will be an available option. It will have a 2.0L I-4 cyl.engine and a 2.7L V6 will also be available. Also, it will be offered with an automatic transmission and a 5-speed manual transmission. It will debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January of 2004.

The local dealer still has some left over 2002 Sportage SUVs. That means either the Sportage was a slow seller or the dealer didn't do a really good job of selling them.

I'd go with the latter. Another prediction is that the dealer was probably pushing people to buy the Sorento.
#37 of 695 Sportage...EWW! by rctennis3811 Nov 23, 2003 (3:04 pm)
no, im not saying that Kia's new SUV will be bad..its just that if they want to start off great with this new SUV, they should rename it! why? when a lot of people hear the name Sportage, they think "wow! that car was bad quality". kia should DEFINITELY rename this SUV, especially since their quality rating has been going way up!
#38 of 695 The dealer by jchan2 Nov 26, 2003 (4:46 am)
has plenty of Sorentos and is attatched to dealers selling Tributes, Xterras, CR-Vs and Vitaras.

Hmm...not bad looking. The C-pillar is awfully thick though..D-pillar too; looks like the rear side windows might not be worth a whole lot. Mostly the front end looks like a Ford Escape or Honda CR-V, but the sides look more like a Hyundai SantaFe...slightly anyway.
