Here's my experience with a 2001 Kia Sportage, you can take it for what it's worth.
Purchased Vehicle new in Jan 2001, it has 58 000km on it now. In that time we have had to:
Replace the Engine as the Piston Rod went through the cylinder Head -25 000km
Brakes Replaced - 30 000km
Brakes Replaced - 40 000km
Drive Shaft Cracked off, went through passenger side floor, cut brake line and fuel line - 58 000km
Also "minor" stuff:
Power Lock doesn't work in rear passenger door,
Cup Holders have broken off 4 times,
Door lock & Alarm on Drivers side looks like it may fall out soon,
Globe Headlamps fell off and are rolling around inside Glass of Headlights,
Casing keeps falling off back hatch, needs to be snapped on again and again.
Other than that, fine.
