2001 Kia Sportage Usados en Venta

Well, it performed very well, but after time, I had to put a lot of money into getting a mechanic to fix few issues. I had problems with the 4x4 and hardly ever worked for me...breaks what go quickly and had problems with emergency break.

I have owned this car for about 4 years now. The body of the car is excellent, can take quite a beating if you are not to gentle with cars. The inside is a little small for my growing family, and after a few years everything just seems to fall apart in them. We've had to replace all the window motors, the starter and a few other things. It all just depends on how well you take care of your vehicle. It gets amazing gas mileage, and is great for getting from point a to point b, but if you have a family or are wanting to start a family this is not the car for you. The "trunk" space is not very big, so it doesn't hold much back there. The spare tire hangs out on the back of the car which I think is awesome it gives you more space inside of the car. It also has roof racks on top of the car so you can put anything up there like a little canoe, or suitcases even. All in all it is a great car, gets the job done, and is very convenient with the ongoing growing gas prices.

This car is the first vehicle that I bought. I bought it because I currently live in a city that is not very accommodating for non-car owners. If you do not own a car in this city, you will not be able to get to school (unless you are in the K-12 system that has transportation), work, or even the grocery store. Anyways, this was a cheap Craigslist purchase that seemed like a good deal when I first bought it. I saw the reviews for this particular car, but I really needed a car so I thought that most of the negative reviews (and they were quite a lot of them) were just hyperbolic. Obviously, I was completely wrong. Within a week, the car starting to vibrate very violently regardless of what it was set to (park/drive/idle), the oil pan started to leak, the brake transmission fluid pan started to leak, and the water from the A/C compartment started to leak inside the car at the bottom of the passenger seat (getting passengers' feet wet). No matter how many times I tried to isolate the problem and the amount of times I took it to several different mechanics in the area, the car was so uncooperative. To be very honest, I am extremely glad that Hurricane Harvey flooded the car and made it completely useless. Now, I no longer feel guilty for avoiding to fix it.
