Awesome experience

After driving the Chevy 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. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

I've had my 2008 Sports Trac for 4 years and LOVE

I've loved these trucks since they came out and finally bought one.Not to big,gas mileage is ok.love the performance of it...this is the one I'm hanging on to. I had a 2002 windstar and it had almost 200,000 miles on it after having it for 13 years traded it in for the sport trac and as much as I miss it(my boys grew up in it) I dont regret it. LOVE MY TRUCK!...and will hang on to it for longer then 13 years

Great ride,

Car meets any suv, truck needs, great for towing or just hauling people around, it’s comfy and a great ride. It’s a strong and a sharp looking build, one of a kind truck

Engine issues

Dealership maintained vehicle (big believers of timely maintenance on all autos) engine seized up at around the for your mark, no explanation from the word because they?ve been the one maintaining it from the get go. Body was in good shape so we had engine rebuilt, did OK after that but was not totally confident In reliability after that

Just purchased so the jury is out.

The only issue I have found is the left tail light lens is loose and the bolts holding it are tight. I haven't removed the lens yet to see what the issue is and I hope a plastic clip or something similar is not broken. The right one fits nice and tight. I didn't get the warranty since I didn't think it would be necessary with a car with only 38900 miles on it. Any chance that if the lens is broken or what ever that Park Place can make it right?
