Most reliable car I've ever seen
After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan.

Great car for the money
I bought this vehicle a little over a year ago and I have put around 10,000 miles on it so far. It is fast and looks fantastic which draws attention everywhere you go. There are some minor draw backs for sure which include two main things. First, if you have any sort of back problem getting in and out will be very difficult
for you and will start to hurt. Second, the gas mileage isn't great and the fuel tank being so small doesn't help that. Other than that, it is a fantastic car and I am glad I bought it.
