I thought it is very cheap in gas for a V6. I had to replace the alternator at 175,000 miles. Not to bad.Nov 08, 2021

I can only compare it to its mothercompany :hyundai; It has a long life with few repairs. It is comforable, and it is high enough off the ground to make access handy. I really like the trunk space because loading and unloading is quite easy. I enjoy driving it and it is just an all around nice car.Jun 18, 2021

Dealership THE PITS, Marina Kia in San Leandro was awful. Regneged on Costco agreement. Uped the Price.
2nd Kia Sportage. No problems, 197K miles, it was time to replaced my 2001 Sportage.
Fun to drive.
I miss my previous leather interior which held up to grandkids and still looked good.

2009 Kia Sportage LX Alternator belt tension
This has happened two times. After I installed a new Alternator and new belts and tighten up the Belt Adjustment bolt and the belt was tight. Then after driving back and forth to Wi. about 900 miles total and I hear the squeak of a belt and yes the bolt is loose again. So has anyone had this problem? BTW I am a Mechanic of 30 years and I have never heard of this?
