Bought my sporty may 21 of last year. So far no major issues sa vehicle, very happy owner. Slight imperfections sa experience ko is:
1. Fuel consumption - ave 8.5 kms/L 60% highway na yan. But heck for a 2 ltr engine im good with that heheheh

2. Rattling sound sa left part passenger side. Parang may loose plactic thingie na kumakalog sa pinto. But then again pag naka stereo on naman ako you'll hardly notice or hear it.

3. The infamous "brake dust" ...mabilis madumihan mags ko bec of brke dust. I like to keep my car shinny lalo na yung mags part. Butthen again is a small thing that can be compensated by regular cleaning.
Overall yun lang issue sa thetta II sportage ko. Very happy owner. If you worried abt the FC, get the diesel variant. Good luck. Hope this helps

Sir Daison pareho tayo may na experience na rattling sa passenger side. Hindi ko mahanap kung saan exactly.

OO nga sir SG, ang mahirap pa dyan para makita ng mga mekaniko ng casa eh naririnig ko lang yun pag umaandar na sasakyan ko specially pag highway crusing speed na. So papatest drive pa sakanila yan baka iwan ko pa sasakyan, so pinabayaan ko nalang muna. feeling ko may plastic na maluwag na nagrarattle nalang pero wala naman major effect sa car, kakairita lang minsan hehehehe

its nice that only minor issues are being encountered not like tucson when it first came out ... pumunta ako sa isang kia dealership isang comment ko po ay parang mahina ang aircon?

good thing that you mentioned the airconditioning ng vehicle. IMHO malakas naman aircon ng sportage, yung nga lang hindi mo ma balance nag lamig nya, 4 clicks pababa ng temprature from max temp, drastic ang bagsak ng lamig. hehehe pero yung dial nasa blue bar padin. ako 2 clicks before max malamig na malamig na aircon lalo na sa gabi.
