This car meets my needs, I love the 3 rows of seats for when it is needed and the extra room for transporting things. The usb jacks in the front and back are great. I love having a back up camera. I came from no bells or whistles in a Kia Rio to a EX Sorento, so the move has been fabulous. My Rio didn't let me down though going strong with 170,000 miles.

New owner.

2.0 liter T-GDI is getting 32-35 MPG highway on Eco setting. Quiet, comfortable ride. Quick acceleration with plenty of passing power. Impressive overall, although appearance is not flashy. Very pleased with Kia dealer?s way of doing business.

Efficient and effective

This KIA Sorento is perfect for us a family of six. My daughter loves the back seat because she can lay down by herself. All of the seats are adjustable, whether its the two seats up front they can be pushed forward and backward and up and down, the middle 3 can be pushed forward and backward and they can be folded, and the last two seats in the back can fully be folded to make room for luggage etc. The car has a camera in the back for reversing. It also has a Bluetooth connection which you can use your phone to play music. The front seats can be heated. You can also put extra luggage on the top of the car which is perfect for my family.

Best car i have owned

For the short time i have had this vehicle, it?s everything I wanted. To the sleek design, spacious room on the inside, even to the great gas mileage. This vehicle is the way to go!

Over all good purchase!

The comfort and usability of this car is better than average given that it is not meant to be a "luxury" vehicle. It is comfortable to ride in and drive, and gets decent gas mileage. My only problem is that it has visibility issues. The size and placement of the side view mirrors create significant blind spots, especially when turning left. When the sun visor is down on the driver's side, it blocks a good portion of the rear view mirror. I am only 5'2" and this probably makes it worse for me than a taller person, but I don't think my height should be a consideration when purchasing a car. My husband is the primary driver of the car, and I didn't notice the problem until after I had driven it several times.

The car met all my needs, plus some

I've only had my vehicle 5 days, but I love how it drives and all the extra perks that came with the vehicle. Looking forward to learning how to operate all the features that came with the vehicle.

This had all the features on our list.

We are enjoying this car. It had all the features that we wanted. The road noise is a little more than we like but may improve with new tires.
