Kia Sportage 2008

[Winsly Jucar]

Guys,

I need your advise and recommendations.

I am planning to get a 2nd hand Compact SUV at nakita ko ung Kia Sportage 2008 MT (2nd Gen).
It was imported, but it is original LHD (came from korea, i guess).
Gusto kong bilhin kasi mababa price tag, sporty style (mapa urban o rural), tipid sa gas at 4 wheel drive. :D

I have some questions:

Is Sportage can handle some 'serious' off-roading (muds, rocky roads, small rivers, etc.)?
Is it safe to buy imported ones?
Is spare parts available locally, and are imported cars allowed in casa?
Are there any issues/feedbacks/defects in the long run?

I need your thoughts, experiences and advise on this car.
Also, this will be my first car if ever. Sorry kung medyo matanong.

Kung may thread na po regarding dito or maling forum ako nag-post, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello po planning to buy kia sportage from a dealer 2008 250k automatic 3rd owner na kmi... Nagka leak sa gasket pero pinalitan "daw" ng brand new ng dealer... Ask lang ako kung nagkaleak na sa gasket does it mean na may problem na ang engine itself? Ano yung mga foreseen na possible issues ng car / model na ito after replacing the gasket?

Appreciate the insight.

Previous gasket leak could mean an unmanaged overheated engine in its previous life. Or just means that its just old.
