After much deliberation, we chose the Sports Kia, which we never regretted. The car is very roomy, comfortable for passengers and their luggage. I read on the forums about the shortcomings of the interior - they say, the plastic is hard, and everything is not rich - well, I don’t know, I don’t pay attention to it, but this “cheap” salon survived both children’s games, and turning hot pizza on the seats, transporting homemade favorites - and everything is as new. The engine is quite quiet, but powerful. Gear shifting is very clear, the car obeys the steering wh 2004 kia sportage eel unquestioningly. Maneuvering in parking lots, on busy streets of the capital is excellent. Advantages of the car: maneuverability, safety, interior convenience, comfortable control. I already want a new car (for a change), but this devil still doesn’t break down :))) which I will not change in the next years 5). Good permeability for its price. Switchable front wheel drive. A huge trunk, combined with seats that can be folded literally to your heart's content. Good front optics and strong light. Relatively low consumption for a 2-liter engine. Low prices and availability of spare parts. Pleasant appearance. Comfortable seats and landing in general: you do not get tired even from a long ride. Soft suspension, swallows all the bumps. Ascetic and rustic interior, mediocre plastic. Noisy, especially on the original rubber and if you accelerate a little. Front-wheel drive can only be connected off-road or in bad weather. Problems begin on even asphalt (I understand that it is not needed there, but sometimes you want to;)). Sometimes, especially in cold weather, crickets in the cabin begin to pester, but not often. I took myself two years ago Sportyagu born in 2004. I liked the car, first of all, because for my money it allows me to get into quite decent dirt without much damage to health and the need for a tractor. That is, not an expeditionary SUV, of course, but in terms of price / dirt penetration it is quite on the level. Fortunately, sometimes the need to drive back and forth on moderate off-road is present in my life. Again, take the girl in such a car to a restaurant or something else where it’s not a shame, her appearance is also quite up to par. However, in fairness, it is worth noting that the car does not cause wild enthusiasm either: an ascetic interior, a slightly increased noise level, especially at high speeds, and the difficulties that arise from time to time (albeit very rarely) with connecting the front-wheel drive somewhat smooth out the generally positive impressions from the car. They were even more smoothed out by the need to replace a whole list of components in the very first year of ownership: upper ball joints (with levers), 2 steering tips, 1 lower ball joint, 2 silent blocks and front shock absorbers. This was the first repair, a little later the generator and the central locking drive of the driver's door burned out. Since all these troubles happened in a short time and almost immediately after buying a car, the overall impression of it, of course, was spoiled, although in itself I don’t see anything particularly criminal in this. Maybe just the previous owner was a fan of jumping with all the dope over potholes or something. The rest of the car drove She behaved quite decently and did not cause unnecessary trouble. Verdict: when the time comes to change, I probably won’t take the new Sportage, but if anyone asks for advice, I won’t dissuade either. road clearance, collection rate, interior space The car is very reliable. With a run of 90,000 km, the condition is like that of a run-in. I am not a racer and this car did not know more than 3000-3500 rpm. Treated with care. Changed the oil every 10,000 km. Buy only good oil. Before buying this car (June 2010) probably looked at 30 of these models. None liked. This car, as soon as I saw it, I immediately knew that I would buy it. Although, it was sold at a price higher than others. Never, almost a year, did not regret that he took this car. The reason for the sale is that my wife gi https://cars45.co.tz/listing/kia/sportage/2004
