Best New To Me Car I've Owned

My New Yo Me 2007 Kia Sorento is truly a great car and a joy to drive. She has Spunk! Acceleration will throw you back! Extremely quiet and comfortable ride. I test drove a Kia van in early 2000's and passed on one... When the Sorento came up on my radar, I was hesitant but checked it out anyway. Much to my surprise and delight this little SUV has exceeded my expectations.

I love the quiet ride.

I wanted a car that had a quiet ride. I was tired of cranking up the radio just to cover up the road noise. This car is delivers a very quiet and smooth ride. The interior is well designed and very comfortable. The only problem is that everyone wants to drive it.

No Worries, Mate

Purchased new, never had any problems. Very smooth, quiet and comfortable. Amazingly tight turning radius is helpful for getting in and out of parking spaces. Plenty of power. Very Roomy interior. Did not purchase a model with a lot of tech - wish I had.

Great compact car

This is a great car with fantastic gas mileage. Seems small but a lot of room throughout the entire car.

Best vehicle I've ever owned!

We bought a new 07 EX off the lot after test driving it. It has been an absolute joy to own and drive. Easiest vehicle I've owned to park in tight spaces. Turns on a dime. The V6 engine is so peppy! No problems worth mentioning. Best car I have ever owned. There were very few options it didn't have. It has 50,000 miles as of now, 2/3/14. When I first saw it, the only small disappointment was I had hoped for the tan interior. It has grey leather which I grew to love. It's white with gray cladding, which I did hope for. Our salesman checked every dealership in and around us and some not in our area and this was the only EX that was so close to what I wanted. After almost 7 years, except for a few minor parking lot dings, it still looks and runs like new. I have no desire to trade or sell it. I had an opportunity to drive a new 2010 LX Sorento and was not impressed with the new crossover design. Rougher feel to it and more road noise than mine, which is a truck frame model.

only problem are the door handles

Both the driver and passage handles have broken. The outside door handles broke away from something inside. Of course they can't be repaired but have to be replaced. But here is the kicker, they have to be painted to match your the vehicle. Cost for one handle replacement, over $300. This is obviously a defect but who do you report it to?

vehicle problems.

I live in northern indiana, so to say the least weather is not bad in the winter. but i would not be able to take my vehicle into morning practice because this car is so bad on the snow and ice I would not make it into town. My dad also had to put tractor weights and salt bags in the back just so it would be heavy enough to make it out of my drive way. Also, I have had problems with the car jumping while I am at an idle speed on the high way accompanying that when I break the lights dim and the heat will decrease. The altinator has been changed along with the modulator, and the car continues to act up. With less then 40,000 miles one should hope not to have these problems. I would recommend this vehicle as a first car, but not as a car that will be kept for a while.

Great SUV with one exception

I have this SUV and it is great. The only problem I had was the front rotors warping. They were replaced twice and resurface three times, all within 40,000 miles. I finally switched the rotors to a non-KIA after-market rotor and have had no problems after 10,000 miles. The rotor issue is a known problem with this and other Kia models. Before buying, insist that the dearler replace the rotos with an after-market rotor NOT manufatured by Kia.
