I drive a kia sportage suv and this car really sucks. The car has alot of problems that I had to get it repair all the time. For example, the door won't open, windows won't go down, steering wheel shakes, brake pads got worn out and it makes a funny sound when you drive. I had enough driving this car that I would like to trade it in to buy a Toyota Rava 4 instead. I won't ever buy a Kia car again or a car that is made in Korean because it is a cheap piece of junk. Don't you agree with me?

My friends own a Kia Sportage that has given them nothing but problems since they bought it new. The driver's side window is stuck, the transmission has need to be replaced (twice!), and it is constantly stranding them because of battery and other electrical system problems.
And it's odd that you should mention the funny sound. . .they just came down here for a visit about two weeks ago, and they were complaining that the Kia was making a weird noise. It was intermittent, but very annoying.
If their experiences and yours are any indication of what a Kia Sportage is like, I won't be buying one any time soon.

Hyundai owns Kia, and although these have slightly different engines, they have the same chassis, warranty, etc. Personally, I like the Hyundai better because their quality and customer satisfaction is better on the newer cars. Both got an overall rating of "Poor" by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, so I am not sure if they are the best cars for a new driver.....that, however, is your call.

depending on what year it is. i work on Hyundai's and they are a very much improved car then what they use to be. KIA's are all basically the same. the new sportage is just a Hyundai Tucson, and there a good car to drive with very little much that goes wrong with them.
