Most Comfortable Car I've Owned

Fit all my needs of wanting a SUV for carrying large items and the AWD for my drive to work in Marion. With the AWD, feel much more safe driving in the winter

My first one & love it!

Drove Equinoxes since they first came out and made a change this year. Feels like my Equinox, drives like my Equinox (a little bigger). I haven?t been disappointed. On an 800 mile trip, actually recorded 32mpg. Comfortable. Plenty of legroom. Hmm. The Sirius radio took a bit long to figure out. The door lock signal isn?t a loud horn sound! Used, but only with 3k miles on it.

Happy New Car Owner

To start off - I am a bigger guy so room in an SUV is paramount. The KIA Sorento has plenty of leg room and width to go with it. The interior is crisp, clean and refined. Gauges are clear, and the steering wheel isn't cluttered. The 4 cylinder engine (I didn't get the model with a turbo as I don't need it) has plenty of pickup and go, and with 3 different modes (normal, eco, sport) you can basically customize how you drive. Eco and Normal are fairly similar, however sport puts your engine to work with higher rpm's to get the acceleration needed. 3rd row seating folds down for a ton of storage - and the backup camera is a huge plus. Comes with 17 inch alloys as well so you have plenty of width while driving on the road.

Love this SUV

This vehicle is comfortable to drive, gets great gas mileage and had awesome features. Has great power considering it's only a 4 cylinder vehicle.

My first SUV and I love it.

I absolutely love this new SUV, it's my first. Smooth ride, luxurious features and a gorgeous looking SUV. Great MPG and a terrific warranty. It also helped that it won JD Power's award and got good crash safety ratings.

My wife loves her Kia

The Sorento is a remarkable SUV. I would recommend it to anyone. The third row seating was a must. My wife also needed a hitch and rails added to the rack on tip of the car. This was all done at a very reasonable price.

A truly great min-sized SUV

Great car! Have really enjoyed owning the Sorento so far. Was worried giving up the 3rd row I had in my Buick Envlave would mean giving up the spacious back trunk. But I am very pleased with the amount of back trunk space the Sorento has.
