Excellent Value

I have a Limited V8. Solid vehicle. Like a combination of a Lexus GX460 and last generation Ford Explorer. It is a sensational value for the money.

Lots of bang for my buck!

This car is very comfortable, and loaded with all the bells and whistles. I'm not too crazy about the gas mileage (18+ mpg avg.) , but for everything you get in this vehicle, the good most-definitely outweighs the bad.

A hidden jem

The roomy 2009 Kia Borrego lx V6 was the last of the Large body Suv's prior to the crossovers. Its affordable luxury and styling (Leather seats, sunroof, usb, aux port, dual climate control) gives it excellent in class competition. The Borrego is a solid truck that rides like a truck. With the 276 hp engine you'll have no problem merging in, or just taking off on the Highway. The Borrego is outstanding in its off road capabilities. A true truck overall.

Good vehicle. Great value. Underappreciated.

We've owned since new. It has been a very reliable and good vehicle overall. Lots of room for people and gear. Great towing capability. No regrets.

Kia's have been very reliable for our family

This car meets all of our needs. We found that some of the interior functionality could have been made more comfortable and stylish but in the long run this car has been one of the best we have owned.

A Tank In A Kia Body

This thing is a tank in a KIA body. I bought it used in 2011 not knowing that it would not be sold in the US after. I have had no issues mechanically outside the AC compressor failing. Mine has been hit 5 times by animals and other vehicles and still runs effectively. Simce 2011 I have replaced AC Compressor, one set of tires, one set of brake pads and one battery. Everything else is stock amd she is still me daily driver.

Best Family SUV-Reliable and it's not a Minivan!

We can fit up to 7 in this SUV and it is the best affordable, attractive, and reliable purchase for a family of 5 out there! You get value and ease of mind knowing that you are in a dependable vehicle. We have had it for years and we will not be trading it anytime soon. The handle is smooth and is roomy for long trips. The sound system is right and the leather is soft.
