2006 Kia Sorento consumer reviews

This car has all what I need a very hard worker ,dependable car the price is good so anyone can afford it to buy it

We have a big family and this van was the best. Went great in the snow too. It was so roomy, drove nice and we never had any problems with it.

But on my own experience good so far had to do some service regular maintenance hopefully will keep running for a little while

Very disappointed in my Kia Sorrento. Runs poorly, constantly in the shop for very expensive repairs. Breaks down on all trips. Can only be used close to home. Not safe of highways. You'll need a CAA card (get the premium package).

bought this car 4 years ago used. Have problems with wiring, headlights,air compressor and clear-coat. The only thing I like about this car is the turn radius.

Great car. I drive a lot, being a Realtor. I bought mine used about a year ago. My sister has one and loves hers, so I decided to buy one myself. The interior is spacious and the leather seats are comfortable. From the cup holders to the storage compartments, this vehile was well thought out. My only complaint about the Sorento is the gas mileage. Being an AWD and a 2006 I generally get 16 in the city and maybe 20 on the highway. Excellent sound system too.

You get what you paid for. I have sorento 06 with just 22K miles, already speed sensor problem. But its understandable, everything brakes in our days. Good car, bad mileage. Mileage is awful, manual transmission gears are too short. I dont need 3000rpm on 65 mi/h. Waste of gas. Other than that - love this car.

Saw a used Sorento at a local dealer and fell in love with the way it looked. Ended up driving 5 hours ONE WAY to pick up my used 2006 Sorento LX and it was TOTALLY worth it! I was a bit leary because my mom had a late model Sportage that was junk, but I just couldn't walk away from this car. I had someone on my way home try to merge into me (going about 70 mph)on a 3 lane highway, and the car was great! I had to get over to the left quickly and the car was so stable in that scary situation. I love everything about it-the sport package, the comfort of it, the was I can downshift myself. Of course, the way it looks! It gets looks all the time! I've had it six months now and I wish I would have bought it sooner instead of leasing my Sentra. Always said I'd never buy a KIA because I'm a car snob. Lesson learned-LOVE MY SORENTO!!!!

My Kia Sorento EX has been an outstanding SUV. It's better than the Toyota 4-Runner, Highlander and Subaru Outback wagon that I used to own. The 4WD works great on-road and off-road. Very comfortable seating position, better than the 4-Runner or Outback wagon. The ride isn't quite as soft as the Highlander, but that's the trade-off for a true off-road 4WD SUV with better towing capability. More comfortable than other "real 4WD" SUVs or trucks under $40K. I was in a 360 degree spinout at highway speeds (my fault, not the vehicle) and the vehicle stayed upright and undamaged. The MPG is a little less than some of it's competitors, but the cost of the Sorento is so much less (if bought below it's MSRP), that I'm still money ahead for many years until the "break-even" point. I've had the vehicle for several years and it has been flawless in construction and performance. Never had any mechanical problems. High quality interior materials...better materials than it's American competitors. I bought my Sorento because a friend traded in his Lexus RX330 for a Sorento EX and he liked it more than his Lexus. These cars are an amazing bargain if you can find one used, because they resell quite a bit below the new MSRP. Overall, the best 4WD SUV I've tried under $40k. If I wanted to spend more than $40k, I'd probably go with a Lexus GX or LX.

I purchase a used EX last Fall. The car was a pleasent surprise. All the features you want including extra ones like heated outside mirrors, heated wipers, steering wheel radio controls. this car is the best SUV for the money for sure.
