American Kia

I put 1000 miles on the Sorento the first week and was pleasently suprised at the ride. This is a base model with the large four cylinder engine, and is assembled in Georgia. Averaged 24 MPG. It is not a dragster, but with the six speed trans it does the job well. The styling is CLEAN outside and in. Cabin is roomy with comfortable seats. It is worth considering this vehicle if looking for a mid sized SUV.

Very Good Car, So Far.

Car is still brand new. But the honeymoon is not over yet. Have had no trouble. The dealer I purchased from has been very helpful with any questions I have had. I really like the fact the car was built in America (Georga)

So awesome!!

We just purchased a 2013 Kia Sorento SX awd, its as fully loaded as you can get and we absolutely love it!! We had an expedition, where we sacrificed on the size, it makes up with better gas mileage and reliability, just to name a few. We have 3 kids under 5, and so far, has proven to be the best choice, especially for the safety aspect. It is an adjustment with the seating and cargo, but I'm getting used to it. Overall, we are very very happy with our purchase!!

SX Model Luxery, But Not a Luxery Price

I recently leased a 2013 Kia Sorento SX and LOVE IT! The car is a quiet drive; the comfort is great; love the look inside and out; and look forward to my first long trip driving it. It is new, so as far as reliability goes--too new to tell. But the value for the money is great! Finally MY TURN to have a vehicle with all the bells and whistles!

Enjoyed it so much as rental that I bought one...

My family of 5 rented this car for a southern California vacation and it got great gas mileage, plus easily sat 7. Liked it so much that when we came home I looked into trading in our Suburban for this. Had good power when stepped on the gas and the interior was like that of a luxury vehicle. Was able to charge an iPad, cell phones, and Nintendo DS, however only when the car was running. Definitely recommend.

Gas Saver

I was looking for a car with better gas mileage. The Kia Sorento provides that without giving up comfort or style. Very pleased with the handleing and ride. Great car for the price would of paid more if I had to.

Downsizing

Coming from a Sienna, was very pleased with the third row room. Was also looking at the Dodge products byt was swayed for the value.
