2009 Kia Borrego consumer reviews

This is the second KIA we've owned. Our 2003 Sedona did OK, only one major failure in 6 years, (right after the warranty ran out of course). Our experience at the dealer was not good, but our expectations for the KIA kept us interested. Comparing price, warranty and features, the Borrego is hard to beat So far, so good. The ride is more truck like than we would have liked, but it is still good, and it is quiet! We can finally talk to adults in the back seat and not have to yell. We did not get the RES. KIA is just too proud of that one, but all the other bells and whistles are nice. The flash drive connection for the sound system works well. I didn't know about the automatic adjustment on the outside rear view mirrors (when in reverse). It really works, but I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't read the owners manual. Two things to note. The tires were WAY OVER inflated, (48# instead of the recommended 32#). I don't know who did that one, but the dealer should have checked. 2nd, the windshield wiper reservoir was almost empty. Not good signs, but I can solve those myself.

Upgraded from my 02 explorer. This car look luxurious from the inside (leather and wood trim, sat radio and usb/aux inputs), and the outside looks nice too. Handles excellent, the 4x4 is great, and can't beat the warranty!! All this, for only 23K!!! I am making payments that are as low as a lease!!! Fuel economy could be better, but its not terrible either.

I just got a 2009 a week ago and am still getting used to going from a Mercury Sable to a pretty huge SUV. Overall I really like it - the third row seat is awesome when you have 3 kids that need to be separated so they wont touch each other. It rides very smoothly and makes tights turns easily.

Bought new in October. Last 2 vehicles were Pathfinders. For such a big vehicle it has excellent visibility and a small turning circle which enabels it to park in tiny spaces. Great towing in comfort. Easily better than my previous Pathfinder and it costs less.

Test drove the EX and it was a no-brainer. Drives better than our old MDX, priced thousands less. Terrific warranty. Rides and handles great!!

OUTSTANDING OFF ROAD. EXEPT FOR THE STOCK TIRES. SHIFT ON THE FLY EXCELLENT FEATURE. GOOD GAS MILAGE.

they come a long way from cheap and unreliable to extremely safe and Luxurious. This vehicle has the same styling as the 50,000 and up SUV's but no sticker shock.
