 I bought th 98 Sportage thinking it was 
a cute little sporty 4-wheel drive that 
I would find useful.  Unfortunately it 
wasn't useful because something was 
broke on it every 3-6 months.  I wasn't 
impressed with the service of the 
dealership either.  Now at 60,000 I'm 
faced with trading it in because of the 
horrible problems I'm facing.  The 
warranty is no longer effective and the 
repairs are just too expensive.  I'll 
be paying my way out of this for quite 
some time.
