If its an original Diesel its a 2.0ltr I/C turbo engine you will find under the hood. So if its a 2.2ltr mazda engine, its likely that this was a vehicle was converted later in its life. And there were 2 shapes of Sportage at that time. The petrol wihch was the stubbt looking short-wheel-base and the longer (relatively nicer looking) diesel.

How about the availability mechanics? to my knowledge, the agent leaves a lot to be desired..

there is a petrol Sportage in our usual off-roading group over here and the nippy little thing kicks a$$ bigtime on the dunes. Mind you, it's got proper high and low range 4WD setup. The only prob is the ground clearance, over sand it's not an issue but might be an issue over rocks

well that's if you r thinking of taking it off-road. But for tarmac I guess it should do good and you get the benefit of proper 4x4 capability on not so hardcore off road
