"The Kia Borrego was made one year only, 2009. It's a great value and comparable to an Explorer, but much less costly. The features are very well planned for safety and comfort. The styling is very current. Worked very hard to find this car, new, with the features we wanted, to include leather interior, 4WD. Kia US was very helpful. There is a twin at the dealership in NY. Don't be skeptical...buy it!"

"This is my first SUV. Very roomy, 3rd row seating, which is easy to use. Has plenty of get up and go. Very comfortable, control panel easy to use. Not bad on gas mileage for an suv. Feels safe and reliable. Like all the safety features."

"Just bought it and have aprox. 900 miles on it so far. We have a 2009 LX with a V6 engine or the "stripped down" version. No power seats, no heated side mirrors, However, it has enough bells and whistles for me. My one gripe is that heated side mirrors are not standard with ALL 4wd or AWD. Hello! They're often purchased by people who have to go through snow and I loved them in my Buick Century This is my first foreign vehicle and I am kind of worried that it will be a lemon. Could not pass up the deal for a V6 at $21,000 for a NEW SUV (only 6 miles on it!). All the others we looked at were way overpriced for 4 cyl. Subaru, Ford, Chevy, Honda, etc. were thousands more for less vehicle. So here I am with a Kia and I hope it all turns out for the best."

"I traded in my 2008 Chrysler Aspen Limited on a 2009 Kia Borrego and have no regrets. The Aspen/Durango is uncomfortable, cheap, noisy, and the transmission started going out after 6 months! The Borrego is comfortable, very quiet, and powerful with the V8. The interior leather is soft, and the materials are very high quality. I may have lost some third row space, but with all the advantages of owning this over the Aspen, I am very satisfied."

"I purchased used 09 model. Looked at Ford, Chev in the same class. They offered less interior room, especially head room. I am 6' 2'' and have ample room. Many of the creature comfort features come standard but cost extra on Ford and Chev. Very Pleased with the pep of the 6 cyl engine. Also, the third row seating is a plus with grandchildren. Overall, I am pleased with fit and finish of vehicle. Everything works well and is within easy reach. I have the optional "blueConnect" and I could not be more pleased with it. Setup was easy and the sound quality is better than listening on my cell phone. I would recommend theis Borrego with out hesitation."

"The Borrego has mysteriously failed twice, the first time at 900 miles and 8 months later at 15,000. The radio dies first, then five days later, the car does not start until the battery is "jumped off." Also, the air conditioner has intermittently failed to cool unless the car and air are turned off and back on, apparently resetting something. The dealership has absolutely no clue what is wrong. I begged them to replace the battery both times and they have refused to try that to see if it is a cure. Instead, they are keeping the car for an indeterminate time without any strategy for diagnosis or repair. Eveyone has been cooperative and polite, but completely ineffective. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KIA!!!!!"

"Love the room had a sebring conv couldn't get MOM in the back seat. handles great I had Caddies and this rides better then they did. Got all the bells and whistles and still paided less then I did for them. Hope they still make them when I need a new one this will be the car I will look at first. Best thing insurance went down ,I feel safe in the car also because the way it is built has a truck frame. Made by the same company that makes Hyundai and I have one of them also just for short trips.I am driving this one more now ."

"I just bought the Borrego. So far, everything is fine. The only thing I think that could be improved is the ride. It is a little harsh. But it still rides better than the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe I traded in. Pricing with rebates and dealer discounts is almost impossible to beat."

"I purchased this in November, it's exterior color is Black and has grey interior, seems roomy enough to hold my granddaughters, daugther, mother, sister and niece when we all go out places together without having to use three vehicles. The DVD player is wonderful for my granddaughter when taking long trips, also love the remote start for the winter months and hot summer days. I am glad I purchased this vehicle, I wish it had running boards, a sunroof and vent visors, I can't seem to locate any for it yet. But all in all I would say I made a good choice. I will let you know later if my feelings change any.."
