2009 Kia Sorento consumer reviews

Maybe I got the wrong one off the shelf. My biggest challenge was the pedal that suddenly fails to respond which as you can imagine would be a disaster if you were on a busy highway attempting to overtake another vehicle and suddenly losing speed. It was a recurrent problem and I eventually got rid of the car as soon as I was able. Otherwise, it is a beautiful drive.

This car has met all of our needs. Tons of power when you need it. 4x4, roomy and well designed. Very easy to maintain and sure to last. Great family car that is safe and reliable!

If buying this vehicle used you are getting a lot for your money. When comapare with other name brands. This SUV will give you similar if not better quality and features while spending a lot less.

I originally purchased a 2011 Kia Sorento LX and while out of the country, my husband drove my car, instead of his Jeep Grand Cherokee. He loved my car. So much so, when his 1998 Jeep died, he purchased a 2009 Kia Sorento LX, with super low miles. I'e had my car for 5 years and he's had his for 3. Still love both of them.

I am 6'2" and find this car to be very comfortable. It is very good around town but it is wonderful on the highway. I would not hesitate to buy another Sorento.

We purchased it new in 2010 and have driven it for the past 5 years. Although the fuel economy is not as good as some of the new models, it really rides great and have had little or no problems. We have over 100,000 miles. It has a 5 star crash rating which is good. The only problem is the dealer sneaked an extended warranty on us (it comes with a 100,000 mile factory warranty). As they say, fool me once..... But all in all this has been a great car.

I bought my 09-Kia Sorento LX used with 30K mi. on it. I love the ext. design, interior space is great, has plenty of pep when you need it. Not completely satisfied with the mileage, about 17-20 on avg. just driving around town. The last 4 mos. have been a nightmare, I;m sorry to say. When leaving my house in the morning, it "jerked" into gear- R or D..didn't matter. Then would only move 10 mph. i.e. Power train issue! Now today- it has happened for the 3rd time in 4 mos. Sure, KIA is nice enough to send a tow truck, but the dealer has it more than 1 week each time trying to figure out how to fix it! I'm really frustrated and thought it would be a good dependable car, but the way it's been lately, I'm afraid to go away too far from home.. i.e. UN-reliable car. I'm sorry to say, once it's running nice again, I can't wait to trade it in for something OTHER than a KIA. It's proven to be cheap--and as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

We purchased our 2009 Kia Sorento LX(but new) from xxxx Kia in Littleton, CO on December 10, 2009. We were able to take advantage of a factory $5,000 rebate for end-of-year clearance. Got a killer deal as we had priced many SUV's before buying the Kia. We got the upscale 3.3 liter Hyundai engine which is very good and Motor Trend likes alot. The 0-60 time for a 4,800 lb SUV is quicker than my Tiburon GT with 1600 lbs less weight! We like to 5,000 lb tow capacity, the spacious seating, and the large cargo area. Con is you still need to take off the second row seating headrests to lower the seats for long cargo. Since purchase, we have hauled concrete, 2 x 4s, 6 foot tall pine trees, 20 bags of cedar chips, furniture and even a 600 lb gun safe in this vehicle. Another pro/con is that you have a full truck frame which makes it corner stiffer, but the ride is well like a pickup truck.

Though it boring inside! Excellent vehicle! Not the best on gas but as i walk everywhere it is perfect!!
