Great SUV for the money

I had a 2000 Kia Sportage base automatic 4x4 (there is no option for that exact car on Edmunds form here so I picked the closest. I drove this car from about 15,000 miles to 100,000, cross country and back. There are nicer SUVs out there obviously but this one was reliable and inexpensive. It's also kind of fun to drive. The 4x4 is great in snow. Also if you live in the city and park on the street you will love it. At 156 inches long, it's very easy to parallel park. I was always amazed at the spots I could fit in. Easier than a Honda Civic.
Best Car I Have Ever Owned (for the $$$)

We bought our Sportage used with about 18,000 miles on it. We're at 90,000 now. There have been no significant problems with this SUV. It's GREAT in snow. We've driven coast to coast in it twice, and it's never let us down. No, it's not a Porsche Cayenne or something. Yes, it would be nice if it had a V-6 (hey, they make them that way now). But overall, when you consider how economical it is to buy and own, it's a great value. Of the approximately 25 cars I've owned over the years, this is my favorite, at least when you consider VALUE in the mix.
Not the Greatest, But it gets you there.

This "Economy" car is one of few that I can fit comfortably in. I'm 6'2" and the driver's cabin is roomy for a small car. The backseat is even OK. Not very powerful, but use 4WD in the mountains...it gets you there; not quickly, but it gets you there. I thought that the 4-cylinder would get better gas mileage, about 19 in town and 22 highway. All in all, I would but another Kia. Mmaybe the "Sorento." Hmmm, now there is a car.
I finally got rid of it!!

After 4 years of breakdowns finally had to trade it in. I was unlucky one with warranty at 3/36,000, due to my job used up in less than 2 years. Brakes/rotors needed changing at less than 18,000 & 4 times after that. After 2 weeks the coil pack went and didn't have the car for 3 weeks. Many major items went in this car. My muffler fell off at 16,000, and 2 more times after that. Couldn't trade in right away, because of the loss of value, no dealer wants one traded in. Most unreliable and cheap car around they shouldn't be sold in the US unless they seriously chang their workmanship. They need the 100,000 mile warranty.
Great for the price

Great for off road with the compact design. Have yet to be left behind when out wheeling with other. The 4cyl does ok. It's not for hauling. If you have some heavy passengers you can feel the lose of power but hay its a 4cyl. Don't care for the swinging spare tire on the back, it takes two hands to close. Overall it's great for the dollars spent on it. We have a family of 4 right know and it works great for us. When we expand we will look into a newer version. A little bigger and the v6 :)
