Worst transmission ever

My 2014 kia sorento 's transmission is always ruff when I let off the brake. It shifts down hard. The dealership in Oxford, Alabama will only reset the transmission. That does not fox it. Never buy a Kia.

Very good purchase

I owned a 2006 kia sorento lx before purchasing the 2013 kia LX great car had a problem with the dry shaft after 4 years wth the 2006. I had it replaced it worked fine until a guy totaled it from behind in rush hour traffic. Decided that was the car I love bought the 2013 last April 2016, have driven over 22,000 no problems keep the oil filter and oil changed every 2,000 high milage now but still no problems haven t had any road problems at all the most i ve done is replace a blown out headlight and maintain frequent oil changes I also add gum out to my almost empty gas tank after oil change

Look at. A Toyota

It only lasted 5 years than the engine blow up. Most of the car was falling apart. Had it in the shop monthly with issues. The head lights we going out every few months. Windows started not roll up. The alignment was always off. The fabric could never stay clean.

Reliable and fun to drive

A lot of room with the available third seat. Great for a family with young kids. The 4 cylinder has lots of power.

A great car for transportation

I have had this vehicle for over an year and its has been a great vehicle. The vehicle doesn't have class-leading space but it has a decent amount of the room. The third row is not as useful as I hoped. I even hesitate putting my little baby brothers back there. Putting an adult back there is a huge mistake unless it is a very short trip. Provides plenty of space for a crossover. The 4 cylinder is not a bad engine. I was surprised how it could hustle when I needed to pass people on the highway. The fuel economy is good and it is not hard to get 20 mph. A combination of city and highway. Great vehicle for everyday life.

Kia Sorento

We love our Sorento. Lots of room for carrying groceries (or cargo) when the back seats are down. We think there might even be more room than our truck has! Our kids are comfortable and we just love the car we purchased. The only thing we are slightly disappointed about is that it doesn't have built in GPS.
