2001 Kia Sportage Convertible Summary
The 2001 Kia Sportage Convertible is a two-door compact, rear-wheel drive SUV that seats four. It has a 12-inch shorter wheelbase than the four-door, and a cargo space half the size. With the seats down, it does hold 39 cubic feet. The convertible top is a soft-top over the rear seats, while the front seats retain a fixed hardtop. A 2.0-liter, 130-hp DOHC I4 powers the 2001 Sportage Convertible, with only a 5-speed manual transmission available. Dual front airbags and a driver's knee airbag are standard.
Equipment is equivalent to the 4-door, with power features, intermittent wipers, a tachometer, 15-inch wheels, a tilt steering wheel, power steering, and a security system. Air conditioning is optional, as is a choice of a cassette or CD player. ABS brakes, keyless entry, a CD changer, and cruise control are other extras. No roof rack is available with the convertible. Fun and affordability are highlights for drivers of the 2001 Sportage Convertible, but frequent repairs and a sluggish engine disappoint.
