was the newest car at the time i had ever owned

I feel in love with this car. The winters in PA can be hard and this car never left my kids or myself down. I have always been a nervous driver in winter and Kia but my heart back in my chest. Thank you.

Best Car I've Ever Owned

I've owned this Sorento for just about 5 years now and I'm very pleased with how this car has performed. I bought it for the value. I was able to get all of the bells and whistles of the much more expensive luxury cars without the giant price tag. It delivered. Very few problems over 5 years. I'm sad to say that I'm moving on to something newer, but I already miss driving my Sorento.

Best Family Car You Can Own

This Sorento is the best family car to own. It has plenty of chargers, nice seats, good reliability, a good design, good gas mileage, and pretty much a great car to own overall. I definitely suggest this because it is a great car.

Best SUV ever

Bought this SUV used and have never loved a vehicle so much, it has 3rd row seating with room for everyone. Handles smooth, comfortable, great looking and affordable!

Best car I've ever owned!

This car has met all of my needs so far. I have a very bad back and this car is so comfortable, I never have to worry about my back hurting on long drives.

Not worth at all.

The ride is extremely rough, it's like the transmission uses the technology of 1960s! Seats are not comfortable. The only and single advantage of the car is the large size and room space.
