I love love love my KIA Sorento.

Very reliable vehicle. Strong power terrain. Most amazing turning radios compared to all other vehicles. Great gas mileage and comfort on the road. This has been the best vehicle choice for me.

Our Sorento has been awesome!!!

Our family has had our Sorento since we bought it new at the end of 2014. We now have 115000 miles on it and have done nothing to it except routine maintenance. This car is very versatile and works well for hauling family or things. Love that the 3rd row can be folded flat when you don’t need it!

Excellent car and value so far

I was buying with a specific budget and found I could buy the first of a new model year Sorento (2015) or an older Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot for about the same price. The Sorento beat both of them in Consumer Reports 2015 car reviews that year, no doubt in part because it was a new model and the others hadn't had a major update for several years. It's been great so far.

Not sure feeling worried

This car is great except that i have been reading about a lot of these vehicles in line and there are quite a few people complaining about the engine and a knocking noise some Kia's with less miles and some with a little more miles on it. So i financed it just a few days ago 118,000 miles and i am pleased with how well it drives however i am now starting to here a knocking noise and many people are complaing about this problem. So now i am not as comfortable because i do not know how reliable this vehicle will be with how many cimplaints there is about the engine.

My favorite SUV I've owned

This car is so luxury. I really recommend this SUV if you're looking for something to accommodate a family. It has ECO on it and it helps save on gas. I used to own a Dodge Journey and it was so costly and always in the shop get repairs.

4 year and 63K miles so far

Overall I can say it is a good deal for the monet and the longer than usual for the original warranty. The downsides are the A/C just is not adequate for Phoenix summer temperatures above 105. It tajes about 4 miles to get it to cool down adequately. Other vehicles in my family, Lexus, and Chrysler products cool down much quicker than my Sorento. My second complaint is the cooling seats fan are also on adequate despite tye dealer service telling me that’s the way it it.

Sweet ride, lots of space to pick up lumber!

This car meets all of my needs (except that it isn't a pickup!). With the luxury package and full length moonroof, the interior feels like a car 3-times the price. The only thing I wish it had is better gas mileage. Otherwise I'm beyond delighted with my purchase of this as a gently used car.

Very reliable vehicle!!!

I love my sorento the only problem I’ve had is that my drivers back door quit opening. Other than that me and my family love it and would get in in and go anywhere.

Tired of changing bulbs

I have had to change my headlights and tail lights 5 times in the past year. The wiring needs to be recalled. It’s a hazard to drive without lights. And nobody should have to replace the lights that often.
