Getting used to all the extra features love it.

I am experiencing all the features equipped in this car. The way to answer your phone with having to touch your phone. The Bluetooth availability is wonder,the backup review on the screen all neat features.

PRETTY, GOOD, & LESS EXPENSIVE

This vehicle is smooth on the road, reliable, lots of features for less cost. My wife and children enjoy traveling and commuting in the vehicle. We first had a 2012 then traded to a 2017 same make and model because they are reliable and the upkeep is not expensive. There is peace of mind knowing that it comes with 5 yr 60000 mile warranty unlike other makes. Our large daily of 7 fits comfortably and with air conditioning in all three rows!

I loved this car

I wanted to buy this car. The only thing that kept us from buying it is the leg room in the 3rd row. It drove sooooo smooth and quiet. Couldn't hardly tell the car was running! Great electronic features. The seats had to be adjusted with levers rather than electronics- so that took me back :) I liked how easy it was to see out the windows!!

Comparison of Kia and Honda CRV Lx

I test drove both a Kia Sorento and a Honda CR-V LX. I purchased the Honda. The Kia dealer will tell you that they are not the same type of cars but in my opinion they are. The Kia might be a few inches longer but I found some differences. The Kia does not match the standard items on the Honda. Backup camera, auto climate control are not standard on the Sorento base model. I am not sure if the Kia has Bluetooth pairing as the Honda does. The ride is much stiffer and bouncier and there is body roll that bothered me. The pick up is comparable to each other. Kia offers the longer warranty but does that matter if you never have to use it.

Kia Sorento

I test drove the turbo sorento and it was awesome! The pickup was smooth and fast, plenty of space and they have a apple and android screen mirroring! Simply plug in your phone and if you have Google maps, it shows on the screen. Whatever is on your phone and applicable to the car shows up! You don't even need to pay extra for navigation when it's on your phone. This car won an award for excellent gas mileage. 50mi per gallon!! I love it!

The Kia is the best car I ever owned

Awesome! This car rides smoothly, and the interior/exterior is high end. I have a 2006 which has last me from the purchase in 2006 up until the present and she's still going strong with only small minor repairs! I am now ready to upgrade to a newer Kia - I'm loyal to a Kia for life!
