Most reliable car that I have owned.

This is the best car that I have ever had. It is durable and reliable. It has taken me all across the US. Would recommend this car to anyone. The next car I get will be another KIA Sorento.

Second only to Toyotas!

LOVE it! Sporty & versatile; seats 7 comfortably. Lots of storage space and roof rack. Smooth ride and quiet engine.

Just bought it!

Great buy, extremely pleased with the vehicle and in particular the salesman Francis Nicotera at Friendly Ford. He did a great job of getting us into this vehicle quickly, the experience was incredibly pleasant!

Lackluster Performance

I have owned the vehicle for currently a year now, purchased it with 50,000 miles on it. I knew buying it that it was a four cylinder but I never expected it to be as lackluster as it was, and if you have the A/C on you can forget acceleration. The car does handle fairly well for its size but I definitely would go with a 6 cylinder next time. I have had a couple of electric issues where the headlights would just completely shut off. Kia dealership said it was a ground and replaced it and it still happens. Youll notice the headlights flicker and then they will shut completely off. Overall you get what you pay for, so If you need a vehicle that is great in the snow and affordable then kia sorento is the suv for you.

Very happy with our Sorento!

We love our 3rd row seating option. We are also impressed with the surprising power for a 6 cylinder crosso er sized vehicle. And we really line the maneuverability of it. This tho g turns on a dime!!

Great car at a great value!

I really like my Kia Sorento. It's comfortable with all the extras that are standard on this vehicle. The only thing is performance and gas mileage are not as good as I expected it to be.
