  A bad choice - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By J - February 3 - 2:53 am

  I bought this SUV new 3 years ago, and liked it. However recently it started stalling when I tried to stop at traffic lights. A Kia dealership could not figure out what the problem was. The situation happens from time to time but nobody can fix it! Its a dangerous car.

  Caveat emptor - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By Edzo - September 30 - 2:16 am

  In <13K miles and 6 months ownership the engine has been replaced twice on mine. Service has been barely adequate and honoring the warranty provisions was met with reluctance. Its comfortable, quiet and reasonably efficient. It handles well on all road surfaces and has a number of great safety features. All controls are easily accessible without distracting the operator. Sound system is decent for being stock, too. Frankly, I love my Sportage. If not for the poorly re-engineered engine and weak service Id recommend it whole- heartedly.

  not happy - 2006 Kia Sportage
  By thomas89 - March 19 - 8:08 pm

  I have a 2006 KIA Sportage 2.7 v6 4x4. I like the car but lately it has not been good. I only have 19000 mile on it and keep it in a garage. At 18000 miles the engine started to miss and the check engine light came on. I took it to the KIA dealer and after 5 visits and changing parts that did not fix it and paying for them, they finally fixed it by changing the plugs and the ignition wires. I was charged 5 times the price I would have paid at Auto Barn or Pep Boys. For what KIA charges for the plugs and wires they should last a lot, lot longer then 18000 miles and they should have changed them first. These parts should have been changed under the warranty.
