Awesome for the money! - 2000 Kia Sportage
By Big Doug A - September 27 - 7:10 amAbsolutely a joy to drive! Nimble and quick, it is the perfect commuter car. Great for parking in parking decks around the college campus, the automatic tranny is a pleasant feature of the car. It shifts well and the pick up is outstanding for a vehicle its size. There is plenty of room (I removed the rear seat because I had no need for it) and plenty of power.

Love This Car - 2000 Kia Sportage
By Grandpappybear - August 8 - 10:26 amAll used cars have their bugs, so far mine have been small problems, dealer service is expensive, but I still love this car. Most comfortable seats I have ever sat in! Im a big guy, 300 lbs, so thats great for 61". I have a few little noises going on, havent quite figured out what they are, but so far they have caused no problems. I bought it used also.

Excellent Sport Utility - 2000 Kia Sportage
By BigT - August 7 - 10:00 amWe have really enjoyed our Kia Sportage EX 4X4 in all of the different elements. From the beaten path to the snow covered roads, this SUV handles extremely well. We have traveled with this car using the car rack and the towing package. With 36000 miles this vehicle has become an outstanding vehicle for our young family. Overall we are pleased with KIA quality and looking into our second KIA vehicle.

Just-Right SUV! - 2000 Kia Sportage
By xVRM - January 6 - 2:00 amNo mechanical problems to-date (36k mi.). Very nice standard features. Interior layout is excellent. Power adequate around town and in steady highway cruising Some scheduled maintenance pricey. Body hardware is good. No squeaks or rattles. Lack of body cladding is a plus.

College Student DREAM SUV! - 2000 Kia Sportage
By Charles - November 30 - 10:53 pmI bought my Kia Sportage used, with around 70K miles. Ive been wanting this one for two years, and was NOT disappointed. In a little less than a year, ive already put 20K miles on her - and it still driving like new. I got a white one with gray interior and its definitely a looker! Ive parked next to plenty of new year model SUVs (Saturn Vue, VW Tiguan, Honda CR-V) and my Sportage looks just as good! Ive been way up in the mountains and through the valleys and have been very pleased with ride quality and handling. Ice cold A/C is a blessing in this Southern California heat! My hour-long commute to the university is a real treat. Awesome car for college students!

Its Been A Great Car! - 2000 Kia Sportage
By Hendy - October 24 - 10:00 amI have 50,000 miles on my Sportage and it has been a great, mostly troublefree car. The only major problem was the front hubs (made by Warn) which are now fixed. Cant beat it for the price.

You Cant Beat The Price - 2000 Kia Sportage
By senorita - May 7 - 2:00 amMy 2000 Kia Sportage runs great. I have never had a problem with it. Its a 4 cylinder so I get the oil changed religiously every 3,000 miles. It was a great buy for the money.
