Automotive readers have rated 2007 Kia Sportage Owners Manual 3.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. I purchased this vehicle and needed a manual. I really can't rate what I don't have.
Haven't got it yet
it is great to have this site, thank you.
Great service. I purchased a used KIA with no manual and this answered all my questions.
Thank You
