The Sorrento is the best cat ever

the Sorento EX V4 was the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 30 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your sh

Very comfortable to drive.

This car was what I needed and in my price range. with 3 grandchildren in car seats it was difficult to find what I needed.

Will definitely buy another one

This vehicle meets all of my needs. It seats 7 people, plenty of headroom, and the seats lay flat for hauling stuff. I bought the vehicle brand new and I?ve been happy with it ever since.

Good car for our small family

Drove a 2011 Kia Sorento. Really like the ride and the intererior. The car rides smooth. There is some road noise, Bluetooth takes some time to connect. I have a long torso and I wish the seat would lower a little more.

Wish it was a tad more reliable

Don't get me wrong - this CUV has not let us sit once. However, it was the first year of a full redesign and the following issues have occured - nearly all of them right around the 100,000 mile mark (NOT BAD!): Airbag light stays on at all times TPMS light stays on at all times - even when properly inflated tires They chose the wrong struts - these feel like a Jeep Wrangler BEFORE they went to coil springs (when they used leaf springs) All controls on the steering wheel (volume, channel/station change) are inop. Rear drivers side door "broke" when pulled too hard - and it was not pulled "hard" NO electronic issues relating to engine. NO issues with drivetrain. A/C never gave us an issue. We have driven this car to 20+ states and never worried about getting stuck somewhere. Its carried canoes, dogs, tons of luggage, kids, etc. Highly recommend, just get a cheaper warranty or put a little cash aside.

Very happy with this vehicle.

This vehicle handles well in poor road conditions. I have had to drive in very bad highway conditions lately (snow, ice, fog, freezing rain, wind, etc) and it has gotten me through it all with no incidents. I am very satisfied with its performance so far.

Great Vehicle

My wife and I made our first SUV purchase. We are used to owning cars. We love the extra room the Sorento has to offer and the tow power.

My new Kia Sorento!! Love it!

It?s a nice car has a 3rd row if I need it. But when I put the third row up the trunk doesn?t have enough room as my previous car which was a 2006 Ford Explorer. All in all it?s just enough for me and my 3 kids :)

The Most Favorite Vehicle I Have Owned

The vehicle is hands down the best value for the money. Smooth handling, quiet ride. I live in on a mountain and we get a lot of snow. I have had no problem driving! Fantastic!
