2007 Kia Sorento consumer reviews

I am 16 and I bought this car used. I LOVE IT!! It an awesome car with great audio and no blind spots. I LOVE IT!!

How can they offer SO much for such a reasonable price? I purchased my 2007 EX (white/gray interior) in April of 07. $26,000 out the door. As of today, I've racked up 18,000 miles. From the very beginning, I've had ONE issue which was an annoying rattle that I couldn't locate. Dealer worked tirelessly to find it. Turned out to be a bolt of some type in the sunroof was missing. Easy fix. Was provided a Sorento loaner for the 24 hours they had it. Just recently, the "passenger air bag off" light has been staying on even with an adult in the seat. Need to get that checked. Sunroof, leather, 6 CD changer. Sound is quite good, but I've heard better. The thing handles so wonderfully, turns on a dime. Can throw you back when you really gas it. Love the dual climate controls. Came with a spoiler and step rails, leather, sunroof, most options available and we added mud flaps, hood deflector, sun roof deflector and window visors which really gives it a custom look. We went with white with gray leather. Love the seat warmers in the winter. AC is excellent. On cold days, engine is warm enough for the heater within 5 minutes or less. If I could improve on anything, I'd add the option for satellite radio/navigation built in. A little more luxury feeling ride would be nice. It's pretty stiff. But it maneuvers so perfectly that I always feel in control in every situation. Turns on dime; easy parking. Never have gotten better than 20 mpg on road trips but it does have a pretty stout V6. This is just an awesome vehicle. I've been wanting to possibly upgrade to the new Borrego for extra room, but after seeing one (their top of the line) at the Houston Auto Show this month (2/09), the Sorento puts it to shame. So I'm looking for another slightly larger luxury SUV, possibly a Lexus GX470 (used of course; new ones like I want equipped start at about $53,000!!). If you have an opportunity to purchase a Sorento EX, you won't be disappointed.

Great looking Midsize SUV, Lots of passing power on the highway, acceleration is great. Uphill driving on the mountain on 60mph only using just a little 2000 rpm. Very comfortable to drive I never get tired after driving it for 4 hours straight. Drives on a foot of snow with ease. Very solid and great control on the snowy/icy road.

Bought new 4x4 with moon roof and cloth interior. Has NEVER had a problem with anything! The only downside is the ride is a little jiggly. Great value & looks. 3.8 liter in parent Hyundai luxury cars. Lots of power & good mileage for 4x4. Can tow 3500 lbs.

This is my second Kia Sorento and am excited about the bigger engine now available. My 2003 Kia served me very well and was very reliable. Highly recommend this vehicle.

I purchased my third Sorento (2007 Loaded and it's Black) These vehicles are great. I have no issues at all. I've owned chevys, fords, toyota's and I never though I would say it, but this Kia Sorento is one of the best ever. Keep up the good work... Build them in the good old USA

Having been a Japanese car owner for 25 years, I am very impressed by Kia and the Sorento LX. The Sorento is everything the official reviewers say. The only outstanding question is reliability. But judging from what others have said on the Net it appears the Kia Sorento is going to be a great decision. Mine has been 100% perfect so far. Dislikes: No iPod jack (why isn't this standard on every car?); slightly less clearance than other competitors; tires are an road touring model and not suitable for rougher off-highway driving. Likes: Built on a truck frame, not a poser-SUV built on a car frame; exterior styling simple, crisp and clean; very comfortable interior lots of leg and head room; very quiet ride with minimal wind noise. Love: The manual shifting feature - used this to creep down an icy winter road in 4WD - the best of a manual transmission with the comfort of automatic!

I have had 9 SUV's and this one is for real, a true SUV. All the professional reviews do not do this auto it's true rating. Many of the other SUV's in this group do not match the over all quality and value of the 2007 Sorento. It has looks and handles excellent under all conditions. The EX is loaded with equipment that is useful. Safety is one of the main features about this SVU that I like along with the power from it's V6 and size. For the money I do not think you can find a better SUV in this group.

This 2007 Kia Sorento is the first new car I have ever purchased. I read all the reviews, and ratings I could find on this car so i would be making an informed decision. To be completely honest, the thing that sold me on it was the warranty protection it gets. I have had it for only a week but I must say i love it. Great acceleration, Excellent visibility, and ease of controls (i.e., a/c and radio) In short, believe nothing of the 'negative' things you may have heard or believed about Kia. This is a great vehicle, period. Incidentally my father bought the Rondo and loves it as well!!!

30 mpg fast clean good looking tows great lots of power new black intearor looks great everybody should own one
