2001 Kia Sportage Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

This car is ugly, it has a bad suspension, the seats are very uncomfortable, the brakes are spongy, the color options are low, the speakers and Audio system has a poor sound quality, the cargo hold in the back does not fit much, and the power to weight ratio is very low.

The vehicle itself is in fair condition for the year that it is. One thing I do not like about it is that it has a high rollover risk. I have to take turns very slow because you can feel the car tip on turns and I am afraid that if I take a turn too quickly it may fall over.

It is top heavy, not roomy enough its a 4 cyl and it does not have overdrive or cruise control. It is however easy on gas.

I really love my vehicle, i bought it used so there's a few things that are wrong but if you get a older vehicle you for sure need to keep in mind a lot of parts are hard to find or cost more than a arm and leg. It runs amazingly!!! It for sure has been very good to me!

Well when it comes to any issues I would have to say not really much other than the drop top also known as convertible can be somewhat hard to handle with the zippers if not maintained properly. Performance-wise it is a very unique vehicle someone close to the same reliability that I would consider from a Jeep because of its 4 x 4 capabilities. Comfort is how you look at it. If you are someone who was looking to enjoy yourself and feel the breeze of the air without having the top on, then this is exactly what you are looking for. When it comes to features, the electronics make it real smooth to control and it is equal capability to change the way of use of power distributed from the vehicle is also amazing.

The Kia Sportage is a great long-lasting vehicle except the wheel bearing going bad and continuous problems with the fuel pump. It is quite comfortable for someone not with a family, simply because of the smaller size.

I do not specifically love or hate my vehicle. I like that it is easy on gas, gets pretty good mileage. The 4x4 works very well. I find the version of the Sportage I have is stripped down. It does not have cruise control which is annoying and for people with longer legs is very uncomfortable. It needed to have a v6 engine. The Sportage is kind of cramped in the front as well as back seats.

It's a good car compact good for parking and maneuvering pretty slow acceleration holds around 5 people comfortably heat and ac take a while to work but when they do its very good but laid off-road not recommended not a lot of ground clearance pretty good in snow however overall good first car great visibility plenty of trunk space.
