I've been told it's a japanese car surronded in Kim Che'. if you change the oil and filter regularly, stick to one brand of oil, it will run forever. I drove my Sportage from Suburban Long Island to Oneonta NY drove around there and didn't gas uptill half way on the return trip. 450 miles on 15 gallons. I get just under 30 mpg if you use the cruise control on the highway. Only 2 complaints are the dumb placement of the drink holder, and brake dust on the cool mags. that you can fix by changing to titanium pads Bendix makes. drink holder, your stuck with. hey thanks for the vote of confidence i bought the sportage today i like driving it more than any thing i even got a decent trade in from my s10 3700 made me real happy later group > DOES ANY BODY IN THE GROUP HAVE ON OF THESE I AM LOOK AT BUYING A USED ONE > FOR 8,000 HAS 32,000 MILES SUPER NICE LOOKING I HAVE TRIED TO LOOK THESE [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > THANKS BYRON DEVINE > YOU CAN REPLY DIRECT BACK TO ME AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS BLDEVINE@SBCGLOBAL.NET glad you bought it. I found the insurance a little higher with GMAC. My wife works for them so we get a discount, Then I found GEICO to be 3/4 of them, even with the discount. Only bad habit I found was sometimes the Sportage doesn't know what gear it wants to be in, and shifts down to passing gear, especially on a wet surface, the rear breaks away from the high torque if you are not careful. Also the ground on the antenna gets corroded from salt in the wheel wells, and makes the FM signals fuzzy. I installed a sheet of red rubber I got at Home Depot for 91 cents where the cable comes through the firewall, problem solved. |
