    Kia Sportage 2006 FAQs

    Outback or Sportage?

    Both are very good cars, they're well designed, well built and reliable. The Outback is the more fuel-efficient of the two, but it has a CVT auto where as the Sportage has a conventional automatic. You should drive the Outback to see if you like the CVT before making your final decision. Clearly the more frequent servicing of the Subaru means its running costs are slightly higher, and the shorter warranty could have an impact later on. It's a line-ball decision, but for mine I would probably go for the Kia.

    Kia Sportage 2006: Changing timing belt

    All Kia models after 2010 have timing chains, which don't need to be changed, but yours has a belt and it needs to be changed every 90,000 km or 72 months, whichever comes first. Not changing it is risking major internal damage to the engine if the belt should break. Replacing should cost around $400.
