"I have been driving this vehicle for almost a month now. The 3.5 v6 is really fun to drive which is so silent. There is quiet room for cargo. The styling and design is pretty good."

"I love the interior of the vehicle and all the features it comes with. I was apprehensive about the 4 cylinder but it drives as well as my previous V6 did and does not "whine" like the traditional 4 cylinder. All around the best vehicle I have bought!"

"I love my 2013 sorento but do not like the nav. I wish I wouldn't have paid for that upgrade. It has serious issues which I am told they know about but dont have a fix for? The points of interest are near impossible to use most of the time and when trying to type in a specific name it 'greys out' the letters so that you can't type in what you want? It can only locate about half of what i have needed. This is an issue they need to take care of right away or they will be overrun with complaints/service appointments to no avail. The only other negative is the gas mileage. I only get around 18 MPG running around on city driving and push for 23 on the road, so slightly lower than what they advertised. i love the sunroof!! it is so open and bright and light. The heated/cooled seats are great I only wish that the passegers side had a cooled seat as well. Makes me not want to let my husband drive during hot weather which he doesn't like.... the styling is good and the space in the back is ample. We never use the thrid row seats... I didn't want them but had to get them in the package I wanted to get the sunroof. The ride is pretty good after it warms up... a bit shaky when you first start the car when cold. Sounds system is good although I do wish you had more control with the voice system when you have the navigation rather than the UVO. Overall I would reccommend the car I love mine just want them to fix that navigation system ASAP. :)"

"love it. plenty of room. like the features that the EX offers. would love to have a navigation system on this model, but I do own another GPS I can use. There doesn't seem to be a back light on the 3rd row. Hard to see when not using the 3rd row and only using this area for storage. Tons of space."

2013 Kia Sorento LX GDI

"After looking at just about every SUV in this class I found that the Sorento is the absolute best you will get for your money. Yes you can get the features the Sorento offers in other vehicles but you will find the price quickly rising as you add them on. The Gas mileage is not quite what the sticker says but still good for an SUV. I have the I-4 GDI engine and I find it to be more than enough to get me where I need to go. I Have not towed anything yet so I cant speak to how it performs while towing. I cant imagine it would be all that great though. But if you are wanting to tow on a regular bases I wouldnt recommend a 4 cylinder engine anyways. The ride is smooth and quiet and turning radius is amazing. I am hearing a couple reviews about a vibration while stopped at a light, however, I have not experienced any of that. The engine is very quiet and sometimes I have to open the door to make sure I turned the engine on before leaving the garage. The exterior looks great and was definately one of the better looking cars I looked at. The interior is also very nice and comfortable. Im about 6'0" and have plenty of leg room in both the front and rear seats. Even with a car seat behind my seat I find that I have plenty of leg room. I didnt get the third row but underneath the easily removable cargo cover, it drops down to provide another foot of depth to the cargo area. Being that I am a father, what sold me on the Kia was the great safety rating. All the other things are nice but the Sorento really stands out in its side safety rating and overall safety rating. Overall, I love the car and am having a really hard time finding something negative to say about it. Highly recommend it for any growing family"

"I could of givin' all 5 stars but on some of the ratings I just have not had the time to find out about the long trip comfort and over all reliability. SO time will tell. I will say this, it has great performance, turns on a dime ( at least when you turn the wheel ), a little on the stiff side for the ride but handles great on the curves, so I'll live with that. Still waiting to tow my HD to MB, so can't say how the towing will be. So far a head of the curve over my Ford Escape that I had. If it performs as well as I have been told and shown, I hate to say this but I just may be a Kia owner more than once when it comes time again."
