Just a few weeks in

Good styling seat is comfortable enough but not as comphy as the pathfinder The smaller screen is ok, wish I had a larger one I've had on other cars Haven't tested a/c much yet, but when I did briefly it didn't feel powerful

Great Value and high Quality!

Great ride, quiet and ample power (2.4L) in my opinion. Nicely appointed LX model does everything I need in an SUV and more.

This is my third Sorrento

Really enjoyed seeing the evolution of the Sorrento. My first was a 2003 and lasted me for almost 10 years. Kia is great with getting service done and have last longing cars. I have upgraded since then and still enjoy the style and comfort that Kia provides with their cars.

Safe and comfortable mid-SUV, great for families

Needed a car with third row seats to fit in extra passengers with our twin boys. This is a very comfortable and safe-feeling car and has great features. I love the voice command button on the steering wheel. Only drawback is I wish it got better gas mileage but for it's size it is pretty good.

Kia a cut above

I like this vehicle and it has improved a great deal in five years. The drivability is smooth with a boost when need be.

Great overall vehicle

I love my new car. I researched a long time, read all reviews and narrowed it down to this car to fit my needs. It is unbelievable comfortable, quiet, solid and well designed inside. It harkens back to my Mercury Colony Park wagon in ease of handling and steering. So tired of cars that drive stiffly and have seats like park benches. This feels like an easy chair and handles like a dream!!!

My First Sorento

I love this Sorento SX. It has the Advanced Tech pkg. Very comfortable and luxurious. Cons: 1. Driver head rest too far forward for me and not adjustable backward. Most disappointing thing about the interior. 2. With all the bells whistles it has, the SX doesn't come standard with Home Link Rearview Mirror. Good thing I have a clicker for my garage door. Pros: Driver's seat highly adjustable. Smooth ride, quiet on busy roads, awesome speaker system, etc...
