Excellent Vehicle

This vehicle meets my needs; it has plenty of room and is comfortable. The rear storage is deceptive. There is a lot more storage than it looks. The Sorento handles well, but the motor seems a little louder than I would have expected.

Very reliable and great ride.

It's handles very well and is a very smooth ride. The quality of the interior is very surprising for how low the price point of the vehicle is. We love everything about the SUV!!

Mini Van Comfort in an SUV Style

I bought this after researching mini vans and hearing multiple reviews that steered me towards the Sorento. It seats 7 but I always intended to keep the back seat folded down for cargo, like a van. At 1600 miles, it is a great car- the driver's seat is getting broken in, it seemed a little stiff right out of the dealership. When folding the second row, the headrests hit the front seats so I have them removed and will place back if I have back seat passengers. The cargo area levers to fold the second row are a great feature, even better when the seats fold without hitting the front seats. When driving in econo mode it seems sluggish, so I think I overcompensate and probably waste gas. All of the interior features like below floor storage, nav and radio, climate control, dashboard layout, are perfect except I tend to hit the emergency flashers when changing stations or destinations. I also tend to change the station or volume with the steering wheel controls if I am spinning the wheel with my left hand. I expect I will adjust to that the more I drive. The full length sunroof is nice, it makes the car feel even more spacious inside. I also like the rear camera and sensor array, as well as the blind spot feature. Overall, with less than 2k miles driven, I love this car.

Love my Sorento

The Kia Sorento is comfortable to drive. I have enough room for me and 4 of my family members. This vehicle will be great on family vacations and long trips. The mileage is great. I love all the features that were included in my purchase. It's a lot of car for a decent price.

Quality is exceptional.

The Sorento LX has a quality that you would expect in a SUV costing thousands of dollars more. The fit and finish on the exterior is amazing.
