  Dont buy a Kia Sportage - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Linda - April 3 - 4:10 pm

  I own a 2008 Kia Sportage EX which my daughter got into an accident with. The front end had damage and the engine needed to be replaced because the liguids were drained from the vehicle after the accident and the engine got ruined. Kia replaced the engine and the engine light kept coming on. After returning the vehicle again they have now replaced it with its 3rd engine and there is still the same low compression in the #2 cylinder. Kia cannot figure out what is wrong with these engines, so they have sent a Kia representative to the dealership to try to find out. I believe Kia is supplying faulty engines for replacement. How can the same thing be happening to this car for the 3rd time?

  This car is not worth the money. Kias are not mad to last.

  Dont buy a Kia Sportage LX 2008 - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By lanursa1 - August 26 - 3:26 am

  Dont buy one at all! I have asthma, and the airflow system is so bad, that every time I pass a vehicle with a bad exhaust system, all that polluted air comes into my vehicle, and I get an attack. Whenever it rains or there is an ice-storm, the elements pile up inside the rim of the door jamb, and this increases the possibility of the vehicle rusting. It is a spacious vehicle, but I would never recommend anyone buy this model. The ABS system is horrible. Dont even think about braking! It was my first experience with such a system, and I had to go to the dealership about 3 times, before I realized that this is what I have to deal with until I sell this vehicle.

  Piece of JUNK - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By KIA Sportage - August 16 - 6:23 am

  Piece of junk. I will not buy another KIA. It is in the shop with more repairs being done than I am able to drive it. Heater blows cold air, Shocks and bearings have had to be replaced, ESC sensor goes out on it, Wiper blades stick to the windshield. This is just to name a few of the problems with it.

  Terrible - 2008 Kia Sportage
  By Eric b - December 5 - 12:11 pm

  Started off as a great car then slowly became a money pit, due to the electrical recall that the dealership "forgot " to tell us about. Please spend your money elsewhere.
