"My Kia Sorento has had a pull to the right side since day 1. New tires at 450 miles, wow? And did u know a service shop for Kia has to get work approved from Kia? Interesting... I'll soon be on my 2nd water pump. And like my 60 th trip for front end issues! I do advise everyone to say away from Kia products. This has been a nightmare, purchasing a new vehicle and afraid to leave town. Jen from Ohio is very disappointed. J"

"This car meets or exceeds all advertisements. Gas mileage is dead on with sticker estimates which I find comforting since most cars end up being below what is advertised. AWD never slips. Ride is smooth for an SUV, remember it's not a $50,000 SUV. KIA puts the most options in a car for the price that I have every seen. Bluetooth is awesome with wireless phone functions such calling and using my pandora radio. Comes with satelitte radio but using the pandora never really need it. There is not "get what you paid for" in this car. This car gives you more than you paid for."

"Very fair price for what you get; rides a little rough; interior and exterior appearance is nice; plenty of accessories; experienced a few mechanical/electrical problems in the first 20,000 miles (2 sensors & bad battery); not quite as fuel efficient as advertised (usually around 20 in town and 25 on hwy); 3rd row seats adaquate for children but too tight for adults"

"This is a great car with wonderful standard features and a great safety rating. I was looking at an Equinox but the Sorento is head and shoulders above that vehicle. I couldn't be happier with my purchase."

"It's a great family vehicle lots of power with the v8 and great for hauling things. So all around good for what i was looking for. The only complaint i would have is parts availability; specifically the wiring harness. It took a month to get from Korea after our accident."

"The whole reason I bought this vehicle is to have the dogs be comfy on road trips. They have plenty of head room and room to stretch out- a major feat since one is an 80 lb lab. It's a great ride on long trips and the heated seats are awesome for those cold mornings, but also when your lower back is sore."
