Most reliable car I have owned.

What I think of this automobile is it's the best reliable source of transportation I have ever owned. I don't have to worry about it leaking antifreeze or oil and the suspension is great.

Excellent family vehicle

The car feels really well engineered. Everything in the interior is durable. Drive is smooth. I am very pleased with the performance. Third row is an added bonus.

An Excellent SUV

I needed an AWD SUV that would not break the bank. With my wife and I being tall people interior room and comfort was a must. The Sorrento met these requirements. We were treated excellently by the KIA dealership, in fact it was the best car buying experience I have had in my lifetime. I am 76 years old. The car has more than fulfilled my expectations

Nice car with little improvements needed

In short words. I love all about this car, except that it pulls in smell from outside, hear cars noise clearly, break is horrible. When press break at speed 80 KM/Hour you will feel vibration on the break Padal and takes time to stop. Very risky, you can rely on break. I bought it brand new and agent says that vibration is normal for Sorento. Break is safety and this has no safety.

best long trip car i"ve ever owned.

All the power, room and utility we need with good mileage and reliability. Price is very competitive with other midsize SUV's on the market. 4 cylinder turbo feels like a six cylinder.

Fuel Efficient & Easy to Drive

I like driving this car. It's very nimble and has a short turning radius yet can hold 7 people. Fuel efficiency is good and I like the heated seat option. I wish the seats had more padding though. It's peppy to drive when you need quick acceleration
